Safety Information
Before using your Campingaz Icetime Plus 26L cooler, please read and understand the following safety guidelines:
- Do not use with hot contents: This cooler is designed for cooling purposes only. Placing hot items inside may damage the insulation and compromise performance.
- Avoid sharp objects: Do not use sharp objects inside the cooler, as they may puncture the liner and reduce insulation effectiveness.
- Keep out of reach of children: Ensure children do not play inside the cooler to prevent accidental entrapment.
- Proper lifting: When the cooler is full, lift it using both hands or with assistance to prevent injury.
- Food safety: Always follow recommended food safety guidelines for perishable items, even when using a cooler.
Setup
Follow these steps for the initial setup and preparation of your cooler:
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior and exterior of the cooler with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Pre-cooling: For optimal performance, pre-cool the cooler by placing ice packs or ice inside for a few hours before adding your food and beverages. This lowers the internal temperature, enhancing cooling efficiency.
- Loading: Place pre-chilled food and drinks into the cooler. For best results, use ice packs or ice cubes to fill any empty spaces. This minimizes air circulation and helps maintain a consistent low temperature.
- Secure Closure: Ensure the lid is securely closed and latched to create an airtight seal. The rubber gasket helps prevent cold air from escaping.

Operating Instructions
To maximize the cooling performance of your Campingaz Icetime Plus 26L cooler:
- Pre-chill Contents: Always place pre-chilled food and beverages into the cooler. Adding warm items will significantly reduce cooling duration.
- Use Ice or Ice Packs: Utilize ice, ice packs, or a combination of both. Filling the cooler as much as possible with cooling agents and contents minimizes air pockets, which helps maintain cold temperatures longer.
- Minimize Opening: Open the lid only when necessary and close it quickly to prevent cold air from escaping and warm air from entering.
- Positioning: Place the cooler in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to further extend cooling performance.
- Lid Seal: Verify that the lid's rubber gasket is clean and properly seated to ensure a tight seal.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your cooler:
- Cleaning: After each use, empty the cooler and clean the interior with warm water and mild dish soap. For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste can be used.
- Rinsing: Rinse the interior thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Dry the cooler completely, both inside and out, before storage. Leaving the lid slightly ajar during drying can prevent mold and mildew growth.
- Storage: Store the cooler in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not place heavy objects on top of the cooler during storage, as this may deform the lid or body.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Campingaz Icetime Plus 26L cooler, consider the following:
- Insufficient Cooling:
- Ensure contents were pre-chilled before placing them in the cooler.
- Verify that enough ice or ice packs are being used.
- Check if the lid is securely closed and the gasket is properly sealed.
- Relocate the cooler to a cooler, shaded area if it's exposed to direct sunlight or heat.
- Lid Not Sealing Properly:
- Inspect the rubber gasket for any debris, damage, or misalignment. Clean or adjust as necessary.
- Ensure the cooler is on a flat, stable surface.
- Unpleasant Odors:
- Thoroughly clean the interior with warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- For persistent odors, a solution of baking soda and water can be used, followed by thorough drying with the lid open.
