Use the included 12V DC power plug to provide power directly
from a vehicle’s dashboard socket.
(Do not overload car battery with multiple appliances, including
items such as a cell phone or other battery chargers.)
Note: Do not leave the power plugged into a vehicle’s dash-
board socket when the engine is not running. This may deplete
the battery in some vehicles.

If the fuse has blown, exchange it with a new 5 amp fuse and
replace the cap.

The COLD setting can be used to keep cold items cold and to
make room-temperature items cold within a few hours.
The HOT setting can be used to store food items that are already
cooked. The heat produced is not sufficient enough to cook food.
The interior and exterior of this unit can be wiped clean using a
mild solution of dishwashing detergent.

Latch
The Snack Box is
opened by lifting
this latch.
Air Vents
Do not block the air
vents. Airflow will be
obstructed.

It is normal for this unit to produce some condensation in either
the HOT or COLD setting.
•When open containers are stored for several hours in HOT
mode, condensation may build up.
•When the unit is switched from COLD to HOT, or just turned
off after several days of COLD operation, ice that has built up
around the heating/cooling element will melt and puddle at the
bottom of the unit.
•Some of this water may leak from the edges of the door if the
unit is tilted. Do not place this product on any surface that
could be damaged by water.
Defrosting
Periodic defrosting of this product is required to eliminate buildup
of ice:
Place the upright unit on a folded towel and operate on HOT for
15-30 minutes or unplug and allow to defrost overnight. Empty
the water and dry the interior with a towel. Do not place on a
surface that may be damaged by the water that leaks from the
unit as it defrosts.
