  2. Assemble the Lunch Box: Place the filled stainless steel tray into the main unit. Secure the leakproof lid by ensuring all clasps are firmly closed.
  3. Connect Power: Select the appropriate power cord (110V/220V for home/office or 12V/24V for car/truck). Plug the cord into the designated port on the lunch box and then into the power source.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your lunch box, refer to the following common solutions:

  • Unit Not Heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the lunch box and a functional power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
  • Food Not Heating Evenly: Make sure the steam vent on the lid is open during the heating process. This allows steam to circulate and heat food more effectively.
  • Leaking: Verify that the leakproof lid is correctly positioned and all four clasps are securely fastened. Inspect the silicone sealing ring for any damage or misalignment.
  • Slow Heating: Ensure the correct power cord is used for the power source (e.g., 110V/220V cord for wall outlets). Heating times can vary based on food type and initial temperature.
