Generally, your unit will cool down to as much as 40°F (or 22.2°C) below the ambient temperature. To
ensure optimum performance, always keep the unit out of direct sunlight when using as a Cooler. To
promote your unit's cooling capacity on warm days, try reusable frozen gel packets. These are particularly
helpful in keeping your unit cold while unplugged.
When using the unit as a warmer, it will warm to approximately 120°F (48.8°C). On cold days, the unit will
need more time to reach the maximum warm temperature.
