2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking and Initial Cleaning
- Carefully remove the cooler from its packaging.
- Inspect the cooler for any signs of damage. If damaged, contact customer support.
- Before first use, wash the interior and exterior of the cooler with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
2.2 Lid and Gasket Check
Ensure the silicone gasket on the lid is properly seated and free from debris. This gasket is crucial for maintaining the cooler's leakproof and insulating properties.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Opening and Closing the Cooler
- To open: Release the two sturdy latches located on the front of the cooler by pulling them upwards and outwards. Lift the lid.
- To close: Lower the lid firmly until it seats properly. Push the two latches downwards until they click securely into place. This ensures a leakproof seal.
3.2 Loading Contents
For optimal cooling performance, pre-chill the cooler before loading. Fill with ice, ice packs, food, and beverages. The double-wall foam insulation helps maintain cold temperatures for up to 27 hours.

3.3 Using the Bungee Cords
The lid features integrated bungee cords. These can be used to secure additional items on top of the cooler, such as a Stanley vacuum bottle, wallet, or other small accessories, freeing up your hands during transport.
3.4 Doubling as a Seat
The flat top of the cooler is designed to double as a sturdy seat. Ensure the handle is folded down and the cooler is on a stable, flat surface before sitting on it.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Wash the cooler with warm water and mild dish soap after each use.
- For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry with the lid open to prevent odors.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they may damage the surface.
4.2 Storage
Store the cooler in a cool, dry place with the lid slightly ajar to allow for air circulation and prevent mildew or odors.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Cooler Not Staying Cold
- Ensure the lid is securely latched.
- Check the silicone gasket for proper seating or damage.
- Pre-chill the cooler before adding contents.
- Minimize opening the lid to retain cold air.
5.2 Lid Difficult to Open
The tight seal can sometimes make the lid difficult to open due to pressure differences. Apply firm, even pressure when releasing the latches. If the issue persists, ensure the gasket is clean and properly aligned.
