source is recommended for optimum performance.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
The power cord is fuse-protected against short-circuiting, by a 5-amp fuse located
in the tip of the 12 volt DC plug. If the DC socket is powered, but the unit does not
operate, then the cooler/warmer fuse may be open.
To inspect or replace the DC Power Cord Fuse:
1. Unscrew the end-cap of the power cord plug.
2. Remove fuse, inspect it for an open element, and replace with a new 5-amp
fuse, if needed.
3. Re-attach the end-cap to the plug.
4. If new fuse opens, call Customer Service department at (866) 584-5504 for
further instructions and possible return/replacement. This unit is not user-
serviceable, it must be returned to manufacturer for professional service or
repair. Any attempt to service by user will void warranty.
