- NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATING BASE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.
- DO NOT use steel wool pads or other abrasive cleansers on any
part of the appliance.
5. Your unit is now ready for use.
NOTE: During initial use, the unit may emit some smore or odor as it
burns o any manufacturing oils. This is normal and does not aect the
safety of the appliance.
HOW TO USE
Warm homemade food. Anytime. Anywhere. Simply plug the unit in
a wall outlet or in the car and your food is ready when you are. This
lunchbox is designed to warm up food. This unit will not cook uncooked
food. If a recipe calls for uncooked foods or meats, they should be fully
cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in this
unit.
NEVER put the Heating Base in the fridge, freezer, oven, stovetop, or
microwave.
1. Fill the Removable Stainless Steel Inner Bowl with your desired food,
then place the Inner Bowl inside the Heating Base. Do not overll.
The Stainless Inner Bowl should not be lled more than 3/4 full.
2. If desired, ll the Plastic Container with Lid with a side dish such as
soup, gravy, a side salad, snack, dessert, fruits, etc. Add the Plastic
Container with Lid inside the Removable Stainless Steel Inner Bowl.
3. Place the Lid on top of the Removable Bowl/Heating Base and Lock
Clasps.
4. Plug the unit at least 30 minutes prior to desired meal time so that
you food is ready when you are. The Indicator Light will turn on and
the unit will begin to heat up.
NOTE: The Plastic Container can be left in the heating base to warm
up your side dish (with or without the Container Lid on) or remove
prior to plugging in if your side dish does not require warming.
IMPORTANT: The unit will not automatically shut o and will
continue to warm until it is unplugged.
5. As soon as the Lunch Box is plugged in, push down on the center
of the Steam Vent on the Lid. This will allow steam to escape during
heating.
5

NOTE: It is important to make sure the steam vent is open during
heating to avoid steam build up inside the unit and possible damage
to your Lunch Box.
6. Once your food has reached the desired temperature, unplug the unit
and enjoy your food right out of your Lunch Box. CAUTION: do not
attempt to remove the Removable Stainless Steel Inner Bowl from
Heating Base as it will be hot.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Save time in the morning and ll the Removable Stainless Steel Inner
Bowl the night before. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
Remove the plastic wrap prior to adding to the Lunch Box.
2. When warming pasta dishes, add a couple of teaspoons of water to
your dish prior to heating. This will help create some steam and avoid
drying out your pasta.
3. DO NOT expect your lunch box to heat up your food quickly. Heat
times will vary depending on the amount and type of food being
warmed and the starting temperature of the food.
4. Stirring your food from time to time will not only help speed up the
time it takes to heat the food but also help prevent foods from sticking
to the bottom of the Removable Stainless Steel Inner Bowl.
5. Food will remain warm for approximately 1-2 hours after unplugging.
Warming time will depend on environment (hot or cold temperatures)
and whether the lid is locked in position and steam vent is closed.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
