Key features of your Aladdin Tempreserve carrier include:

• Insulated design for temperature retention.
• Accommodates one standard 9x13 inch casserole dish.
• Ideal for transporting hot or cold dishes to gatherings or events.

Setup

Before first use, ensure the carrier is clean. The Aladdin Tempreserve Casserole Carrier is ready for use directly out of its packaging.

1. Prepare your dish: Cook or chill your food in a standard 9x13 inch casserole dish. Ensure the dish is oven-safe if heating, or suitable for chilling if cooling.
2. Open the carrier: Unlatch or unclip the carrier lid. The carrier typically opens into two halves.
3. Place the dish: Carefully place your 9x13 inch casserole dish into the bottom half of the carrier. Ensure it sits securely.
4. Close the carrier: Place the top half of the carrier over the dish and secure the latches or clips to ensure a tight seal. This seal is crucial for maintaining the food's temperature.

Operating Instructions

The Aladdin Tempreserve carrier is designed for temperature retention, not for cooking or reheating. For best results, ensure your food is at the desired temperature before placing it in the carrier.

1. For Hot Food:
   • Pre-heat your casserole dish with hot water for a few minutes, then empty and dry it before adding hot food. This helps maintain temperature longer.
   • Place the hot casserole dish into the carrier immediately after cooking.
   • Securely close the carrier lid to minimize heat loss.
2. For Cold Food:
   • Pre-chill your casserole dish in the refrigerator or freezer for a short period before adding cold food.
   • Place the cold casserole dish into the carrier.
   • Securely close the carrier lid to minimize cold air loss.
3. Transport: Use the integrated handles for easy and secure transport.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your Aladdin Tempreserve Casserole Carrier.

• Cleaning: The carrier is made of plastic and is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing.
• Storage: Store the carrier in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Heat Exposure: Do not place the plastic carrier in an oven, microwave, or on a stovetop. The "Oven Safe" instruction refers to the casserole dish you place inside, not the carrier itself.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface.
