4. Operating Instructions

Heating Your Meal:

1. Prepare your meal in the stainless steel container. For dry foods like rice or pasta, add a small amount of water (a few drops) to the food before heating to maintain moisture and improve heating.
2. Ensure the exhaust cover on the lid is open during heating to allow steam to escape.
3. Select the appropriate power cord:
   • For home or office use, connect the 110V/220V AC power cord to a standard wall outlet.
   • For car or truck use, connect the 12V/24V DC power cord to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
4. Plug the chosen power cord into the corresponding port on the lunch box. The lunch box features a slide switch to select the correct plug type (Car/Truck or Home/Office).
5. Press the "On/Off" switch on the front of the lunch box to begin heating. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. Heating typically takes 15-20 minutes for a hot meal. For colder food or larger portions, it may take up to 30-45 minutes.
7. Once heated, press the "On/Off" switch again to turn off the device and unplug it.
8. Carefully open the lid, allowing any steam to escape, and enjoy your meal directly from the container.
