The LunchEAZE Lite is an automatic, heated lunch box designed to warm your food on schedule. It's a convenient solution for enjoying hot meals away from home, whether at work, school, or on the go. The device is user-friendly, allowing you to pack your food, program a mealtime, and then let LunchEAZE Lite handle the heating automatically.

Function Description

The core function of the LunchEAZE Lite is to heat food. Once you set a mealtime, the device will automatically begin heating your food approximately two hours before the programmed time. This ensures your meal is hot and ready when you are. The unit must be powered on for the auto-start feature to work. It features a display that shows the current time, mealtime settings, and, during heating, the internal temperature of the hotplate. The device can heat food up to a maximum of 220°F (104°C). For models with temperature adjustment, you can set a maximum heating temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 220°F (104°C). The LunchEAZE Lite is designed to reheat food and is not intended for refrigeration.

Usage Features

Navigation and Settings:

The LunchEAZE Lite features a simple interface with UP, DOWN, ENTER, and POWER buttons.

Navigating the Menu: Press the ENTER button to cycle through the menu options. Colored LEDs indicate the currently selected setting.
Setting Meal Time: To adjust the mealtime, navigate to the "Meal Time Setting" menu option, hold the ENTER button, and then use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the time. AM and PM indicators are shown with lights above the display. Press ENTER again to confirm. Once set, LunchEAZE Lite remembers your mealtime settings until you change them, so you don't need to set it daily.
Setting Clock Time: The device needs to know the correct time of day to start heating accurately. The first time you use LunchEAZE Lite, you will be prompted to input the current time. To adjust the clock time, navigate to the "Clock Setting" menu option, hold the ENTER button, and use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the time. AM and PM are indicated by lights above the display. Press ENTER again to confirm. The clock time is remembered once set.
Manual Heat/Temperature Setting: For base models, you can manually start heating by holding ENTER in this menu option. For upgraded models with temperature adjustment, you can also set the maximum heating temperature. Hold ENTER, then use UP and DOWN to adjust the temperature between 170°F and 220°F. Press ENTER to confirm. This setting is also remembered.
Battery Life Indicator: The display shows the current battery charge percentage. This reading is most accurate when the charger is unplugged. If the battery level is too low for effective heating, the battery icon will flash.
Heating Mode Indicator: When the device is actively heating, a flame icon will illuminate, and the display will show the current hotplate temperature. Exercise caution as the unit will be hot.

Loading Food:

Pack your food into the stainless steel container.
Ensure all four clasps on the container's lid are securely closed.
Lower the container into the LunchEAZE base, making sure both latches click down into place, securing the container's lid tightly.
Keep the lid closed until you are ready to eat.

Power Management:

Turning On/Off: Hold the POWER button to turn off the device.
Charging: Use only the included 9V 5A DC charger. The Charge LED will illuminate during charging. Charging takes approximately three hours. One full charge is designed to heat one meal and keep it hot for 30-45 minutes afterward. If the battery is fully charged and remains plugged in for an extended period, the Charge LED will turn off.
Battery Replacement: The LunchEAZE Lite's battery is user-replaceable. To replace it, remove the two screws on the bottom of the unit, remove the battery cover, unplug both connections to the battery, and then remove the old battery. Insert the new battery, ensuring both connections are securely attached.

Helpful Tips:

For Hotter Food: Place proteins at the bottom of the food container and lighter items like vegetables or rice on top, as LunchEAZE heats from the bottom up. Using an insulated bag with the LunchEAZE Lite can help trap heat and increase food temperature.
Frozen Food: While LunchEAZE Lite can handle frozen foods, for best results, it's recommended to let them defrost in the fridge overnight or pack them a few hours before heating begins.
Two Meals: The battery is designed for one meal. For additional meals, you can swap out the battery with a charged spare, leave the LunchEAZE plugged in, or use a car inverter to charge on the go.
Convenience: LunchEAZE Lite remembers your set mealtime. Simply turn it on, and it will be ready with yesterday's settings. Leaving your food container inside LunchEAZE while eating will keep your food hot.
Factory Reset: To perform a factory reset, hold the POWER and ENTER buttons together for five seconds. The screen will show all LEDs illuminated to confirm.
