CAUTION: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY:
• Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any warming unit. Do not eat or drink perishable items that may
have spoiled or become contaminated.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The Black & Decker ® Travel Cooler and Warmer is ruggedly constructed to provide years of dependable service.
• After each use, clean the unit inside and out with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
• Do not scrape, scratch or puncture the surface of the cooler with sharp objects or abrasives.
• Dry the unit properly and store in a cool, dry place.
• Always make sure the power cord is disconnected before storing.
• Never allow the cooler/warmer to be immersed in liquid.
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 1-800-544-6986 for further instructions and possible
return/replacement. This unit is not user-serviceable; it must be returned to the manufacturer for professional
service or repair. Any attempt to service by user will void warranty.
