How Your Thermoelectric Cooler/Warmer Works
The unit is designed to help foods stay warm or cold. It is not
designed to heat or chill foods quickly. Placing room temperature
foods in a unit that has not been preheated or prechilled will result
in long warming or chilling times.
On average, the unit will:
• Cool approximately 30-40°F below room or ambient temperature.
• Heat approximately 70°F above room or ambient temperature.
It takes approximately 10 hours on COOL for a room temperature
soft drink to reach a cool, drinkable temperature when placed in a
room temperature unit.
Important Operation Tips
• Always make sure the unit is set to OFF before disconnecting
the cord.
• Leave the unit OFF for 5 minutes when switching between WARM
and COOL modes.
• Always preheat or prechill the unit for two hours before placing hot
food into the preheated unit or cold food into the prechilled unit.
• Perishable food should be kept warm or cool in the unit for no
more than one hour.
• Keep door openings to a minimum to help maintain temperature.
• Clean and dry the unit after each use. See Cleaning Instructions.
