If you press the BOX button (2) once,
the indicator will illuminate in blue
and then it will keep your drinks cool.

careful not to damage the partitions. When operating in the cooling
mode, and when the drink is hot,
the system takes a long time to
cool the drink. To use the cool-
ing mode efficiently, cool down
the hot drink at the room tem-
perature before putting it in the
box.
When operating in the warming mode, and when the drink is
cold, it takes a long time to warm
the drink. To use the warming
mode efficiently, warm up the
cold drink at the room tempera-
ture before putting it in the box.
If the cover is not securely closed, the efficiency will be
lowered with frost formation.
Always close the cover securely.
If you force to close the cover when drink bottles are not cor-
rectly put inside, it may damage
the cover.
Because the temperature near the box bottom is very low, make
sure that frost does not form
inside the drink bottle.
Securely put the cap on the bottle when you put the bottle in the
box.
Do not put sharp or any other object except drinks in the box. It
may damage the box.
