approximately 2 hours before loading to give it time to warm up or cool down.
Always try to fill your unit with pre-chilled or pre-heated food or beverages, as the
unit will always perform at its best when you do this. Generally, your unit will cool
down to as much as 22.2°C (40°F) below the ambient temperature. For example,
in a room, where a constant temperature of 26.6°C (80°F) is sustained, the unit will
cool to approximately 22.2°C (40°F). To ensure optimum performance, always
keep the unit out of direct sunlight when running on the cold cycle. When the unit
is running on the warm cycle, it will warm to approximately 48.8°C (120°F). On
cold days, the unit will need more time to reach the maximum warm temperature.
To promote your unit's cooling capacity on warm days, try reusable frozen ice
packets. These are particularly helpful in keeping your unit cold while unplugged.
