CAUTION: Do not use abrasive or solvent based products when cleaning the cooler and warmer box. The best method of cleaning the cooler and warmer box is using a damp cloth and washing up liquid. If the cooler and warmer box is not going to be used for a long period of time it should be dried out first.

NOTES:

• The cooler and warmer box is designed to maintain the warmth in food and drink that is already warm. The purpose of the cooler and warmer box is not to warm up cold food and drinks. Keep the lid of the cooler and warmer box closed to help maintain the warmth in food and drinks.
• In cooler mode, the best results are achieved when food and drink items placed into the cooler and warmer box are already refrigerated.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the cooler and warmer box.

The cooler and warmer box can be used to keep food and drink items cool or warm. The cooler and warmer box has a battery monitor that prevents your primary battery from being discharged too heavily.

1. Use the sliding switch to change between the three modes of operation: off, cooler or warmer.
2. The operating mode is indicated by the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the cooler and warmer box. The green LED shows the cooler and warmer box is cooling and the red LED shows the cooler and warmer box is warming.
3. Use the sliding switch to enable or disable the battery monitoring function. Because this accessory is being used within a vehicle, the battery monitoring should be left enabled.
4. If the primary battery is at undervoltage, the red LED will flash and the cooler and warmer box will not operate. When the operating voltage is reached, the red LED will stay on and the cooler and warmer box will operate.
