FAQs

What can I keep in my Cooluli?

Anything you wish to keep warm or cold! For warming, our customers love to keep their hot lunches and soups warm; and to warm washcloths. Coolulis are best when already-warm items are put into it.

Does this cooler/warmer have a lock?

The 4-, 15- and 20-liter models feature a tight-fitting, magnetic seal that secures and protects contents; 10-liter models have a secure-lock door handle that is easy to open and close.

What kind of AC power outlet do I plug my Cooluli into?

Our units ONLY work on 110-120V, in compliance with North American standards. Plugging in your Cooluli beyond that voltage specification will burn out the AC port and void your warranty.

Can I use my Cooluli cooler/warmer in a 220V outlet?

No, you cannot plug your Cooluli into 220V outlet. Our units ONLY work on 110-120V, in compliance with North American standards. If you live in a region where the power is 220-230V and you want to use our products, DO NOT USE A SIMPLE ADAPTER TO PLUG IT IN.

If I plug my Cooluli into my car does the car engine need to be on for it to stay on? Will it drain my battery?

For car or motor vehicle use, the engine MUST be turned on first before plugging in the unit. This precaution prevents a power surge that can lead to the unit overheating and/or becoming a potential fire risk. Refer to the Getting Started section in this Instruction Manual. We recommend unplugging your cooler/warmer unit when car engine is fully turned oFF not unplugging your unit when car engine is oFF can drain the car’s battery.

Can I leave my Cooluli plugged in every day, 24 hours per day?

Can my Classic-4L keep things frozen?

The Classic-4L should not be used as a freezer. This unit can keep things cool or warm, depending which mode you choose. Frozen items will cool down to 40° below ambient temperature. Therefore, if you put a frozen item inside your unit and your room is 70° F, that item will be kept at a temperature between 30°– 35°F

Does the back of a Cooluli get very hot?

It is normal for Cooluli units to get slightly warm in the back. Thermoelectric units have two sides, so when a DC electric current flows through the device, it moves heat from one side to the other, so that one side gets cooler. Make sure there is at least a 2-inch clearance for necessary air flow and circulation. If the back of your Classic-4L gets very hot, turn oFF the unit and contact Customer Support.

Will my Cooluli make a lot of noise?
