3. Setup and Preparation

Before using your DISONCARE Odyssey 60H cooler, proper preparation of the cooling elements is crucial for optimal performance.

3.1 Preparing the Blue Gel Bottle

1. Place the blue gel bottle in a freezer for 6-8 hours until completely frozen.
2. Once frozen, remove the gel bottle from the freezer. It will slowly release coldness.
3. Insert the frozen blue gel bottle into the vacuum cooler.

3.2 Using the White Ice Water Bottle (Optional)

For extended cooling duration, an optional white ice water bottle can be used:

• Fill the white ice water bottle with cold water (below 2°C).
• Place it inside the cooler alongside the blue gel bottle. This can extend the cold retention by an additional 12 hours.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DISONCARE Odyssey 60H cooler, consider the following:
