IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read all instructions before use.
• Remove all bags and packaging from the appliance before use.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• Make sure the appliance is cleaned thoroughly before using.
• Make sure that the Hot2Go™ and power cord are completely dry before each use.
• For maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970 Monday-Friday or by email at [email protected].
• Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use. For household use only. Do not use outdoors.
• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even personal injury.
• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• Only use the appliance on a stable, dry surface.
• Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under the Hot2Go™ to prevent possible damage to the surface.
• This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• CAUTION: To protect against electrical shock and product damage, do not heat food directly in the Heating Base. Heat food only in the Removable Food Container provided.
• During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. To disconnect, unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord.
• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, or if the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• The Heating Base is subject to residual heat from the cooking cycle. Do not touch the Heating Base immediately after removing the Food Container. Allow to cool before handling.
• Intended for household countertop use only. Keep 6 inches (152 mm) away from the wall when in use.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods or cold liquids into the Food Container while in use.
• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Always plug the Power Cord fully into the Heating Base first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet.
• WARNING: Do not open the Steam Vent during the heating cycle. Steam can result in burns.
• Use caution when removing the Removable Food Container. It may still be hot from heating and may cause burns. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts.
• WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
• Do not place the appliance on or near wet surfaces, or heat sources such as a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put the cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Hot2Go™ is NOT dishwasher safe.

PARTS & FEATURES

Using the Hot2GoTM

Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean the Hot2Go™.

1. Fill the Removable Food Container (Photo A) with desired food and place the Removable Food Container Lid on. Press down to secure (Photo B). The capacity of the Removable Food Container is 30 ounces. Do not overfill past the MAX line. Ensure the steam vent is pushed down to avoid spills or leakage.
2. Place the Removable Food Container inside the Heating Base (Photo C). Place the Outer Lid securely on the Heating Base. Lock the unit by raising the Easy-Carry Handle until it clicks (Photo D). Once locked, the Hot2Go™ is ready for transport wherever you plan on enjoying your food.
3. Once arrived at the destination, if you do not plan on heating and eating food immediately, the Removable Food Container containing the food must be refrigerated until ready to heat (Photo E).
4. To heat, plug in the Hot2Go™ well in advance of the desired mealtime so that food is ready when you are. Remove the Removable Food Container from the refrigerator and place it back into the Hot2Go™ unit. Plug the Detachable Power Cord into the bottom of the unit and into an outlet (Photo F). The Indicator Light will turn on, and the unit will automatically begin to heat up the food. Note: The Hot2Go™ is not designed to rapidly warm food. Heat times will vary depending on the type of food being warmed and the food’s starting temperature. Stirring will help speed up the time it takes to heat the food.
5. Once the food has reached the desired temperature, unplug the unit to stop the reheating process. The unit will not automatically turn off and will continue to warm unless it is unplugged. Make sure the unit is unplugged when not in use.
6. Remove the Outer Lid. Carefully pull up the Steam Tab on the Food Container Lid to release the steam (Photo G). Then open the Food Container Lid by carefully using the Lid Pull Tab (Photo H).

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Always unplug the Hot2Go™ when it is not in use (Photo A). Before cleaning, allow it to cool completely.
• To clean the Removable Food Container, carefully remove it from the Heating Base. Empty any food contents and fill the Container with warm, soapy water to loosen any food remains (Photo B). Pull the steam vent up to clean thoroughly.
• 
• Do not use abrasive cleaners. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will remove any residue. To remove any water spots or other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar. The Outer Lid and Heating Base should be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, then wiped dry. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
