Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the cooler with mild soap and water. Air dry thoroughly before storage.
Storage
Store the cooler in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the zipper is clean and lubricated before long-term storage.
Troubleshooting
Stiff Zipper
If the HydroLok Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate, apply the included zipper lubricant. Ensure the zipper is clean from debris before application.
Reduced Ice Retention
For best performance, always pre-chill your cooler before adding contents. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and sealed. Avoid opening the cooler frequently, as this allows cold air to escape.
