3. Usage Guidelines

This 38-quart cooler is designed to hold approximately 53 standard 12-ounce cans. Its Ultratherm insulation is engineered to keep contents cold for extended periods.

3.1 Optimal Cooling Performance

• Pre-chill: For best results, pre-chill the cooler with ice or ice packs before adding contents.
• Minimize Opening: Limit the frequency and duration of lid openings to maintain internal temperature.
• Fill Completely: A full cooler with minimal air space retains cold better. Use extra ice or crumpled newspaper to fill empty spaces.
• Shady Spot: Store the cooler in a shady area to prevent direct sunlight from heating the exterior.

3.2 Portability

Utilize the reinforced tow handle and durable wheels for easy transportation across various terrains. Molded-in side handles are also provided for lifting the cooler when necessary.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your cooler.

• Cleaning: The cooler features a stain- and odor-resistant liner. Clean with mild soap and water. Hand wash only. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Draining: This model does not include a drain plug. To empty melted ice, tilt the cooler to pour out the water.
• Storage: Store the cooler with the lid slightly ajar to prevent odors and mildew.

5. Troubleshooting

• Ice melting quickly: Ensure the lid is securely latched. Minimize opening the lid. Pre-chill the cooler before use.
• Difficulty rolling: Check wheels for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the tow handle is fully extended.
