The Anko Cosmetics Cooler, model MFP-5L, is a compact, thermo-electric Peltier module-based appliance designed for both cooling and heating cosmetics. It is intended for household use and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast environments, and catering, but not for commercial or industrial use. The device is specifically designed for use in tropical climates, as indicated by the "T" mark on its rating label.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Anko Cosmetics Cooler is to provide a controlled temperature environment for cosmetics, either cooling them to help prevent liquids and gels from drying out or thickening, or heating them for specific applications. Unlike traditional refrigerators, it does not use a compressor, relying instead on a thermo-electric Peltier module for both cooling and heating. This design contributes to its near-silent operation.

Usage Features:

Easy Operation: The device is designed for straightforward use.
ON/OFF Selector Switch: Located at the back of the appliance, this switch controls the power to the unit.
Cooling Function:
- To activate, slide the selector switch to the "Cool" position.
- A green indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the appliance is cooling.
- Storing cosmetics at cooler temperatures can help preserve their consistency and ease of application.
- Suitable cosmetics for cooling include nail polish and removers, perfumes, lipsticks, lip balms, face misters, applicators, eye creams and serums, face creams, pencils (eyeliner), and organic cosmetics.
- It is important not to crowd items inside to allow for effective air circulation and cooling.
- Important Note: Do not place food or drink items inside this appliance when using the cooling function.
- Switching from Heat to Cool requires the appliance to cool down naturally in ambient room temperature for at least 30 minutes with the door open.
Heating Function:
- To activate, slide the selector switch to the "Heat" position.
- A red indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the appliance is heating.
- This function can be used to heat products for easier application.
- Examples of items that can be heated include hair removal wax or wax strips, oils, and facial cloths.
- Similar to cooling, do not crowd items to ensure proper air circulation.
- Important Note: Do not place food or drink items inside this appliance when using the heating function.
- Caution: When using the heating function, internal surface temperatures can become hot enough to burn skin. Exercise care.
- Switching from Cool to Heat requires the appliance to warm up naturally in ambient room temperature for at least 30 minutes with the door open.
Temperature Transition: When switching between cooling and heating modes, it is crucial to allow the appliance to naturally adjust to ambient room temperature for at least 30 minutes with the door open. Failure to do so could potentially damage the appliance.
Temperature Attainment: Depending on ambient temperature and contents, it may take several hours to reach the desired cooling or heating temperature.
Internal Storage: Includes an inner door pocket and an inner shelf for organizing cosmetics.
Portability: Features a carry handle recess for easy movement. The unit should be moved slowly and carefully after being turned off and unplugged.
