Introduction
The Wagan Tech Metro Personal Fridge/Warmer is designed to keep cold foods
and beverages conveniently available in your home, dorm, vehicle, RV, vessel or in
the field. The Fridge is supplied with a DC Power Cord so it can be operated from
a variety of power sources. The Fridge can also be used to warm foods on the road
or in the home. In the field, the Wagan Tech Metro Personal Fridge can be powered
from a Wagan Tech jump starter.
For best results, the Fridge should be operated on COOL for 30 minutes before
placing cold food in the pre-cooled unit. Similarly place the unit in WARM mode and
operate for 30 minutes so that warm foods are placed in a warm unit.
