CAUTION: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY:
• The cooler takes about 120-200 minutes to reach its maximum cool temperature
(approximately 50ºF below that of surrounding air). It is recommended that items to be
placed in the cooler be pre-chilled. This will assist the cooler in reaching the lowest
temperature as quickly as possible.
• The cooler will automatically shut off when vehicle battery power falls below 10.7 volts.
• If the engine is switched off for a long period (overnight), it is recommended the cooler
be disconnected from the accessory outlet to avoid draining the vehicle's battery.
• Food will stay cool for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned off, but
temperature will rise to that of the surrounding air.
• Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any cooling unit. Do not eat or drink
perishable items that may have spoiled or become contaminated from lack of proper
temperature control.
