Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the food carrier from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components of the food carrier with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for detailed cleaning instructions.

Operating Instructions

Using for Hot Food:

1. Pre-warming (Optional): For best results, you may pre-warm the carrier by filling it with hot water for a few minutes, then emptying and drying it.
2. Loading Food: Place your hot casserole dish (up to 9x13 inches) directly into the carrier. Ensure the dish is oven-safe and can withstand the heat.
3. Securing the Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the carrier, ensuring a tight seal to retain heat.

Using for Cold Food:

1. Pre-chilling (Optional): For best results, you may pre-chill the carrier by placing it in a refrigerator or freezer for a short period, or by filling it with cold water/ice for a few minutes, then emptying and drying it.
2. Loading Food: Place your cold dish into the carrier.
3. Securing the Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the carrier, ensuring a tight seal to retain cold.

Important Usage Warnings:

• DO NOT place the Aladdin Tempreserve ICC500 in an oven or on a stove. This product is designed for transport and temperature retention only.
• Microwave Safe: The carrier itself is microwave safe. However, always ensure any dish placed inside is also microwave safe before heating.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe: The Aladdin Tempreserve ICC500 is dishwasher safe. Place on the top rack for best results.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface.

Storage:

Store the food carrier in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Food not staying hot/cold: Ensure the lid is securely sealed. Pre-warming or pre-chilling the carrier can significantly improve temperature retention. Avoid frequently opening the lid.
