• Main Unit: The primary insulated bucket.
• Cooling Sleeve: A stainless steel insert designed to hold standard 750 ml bottles (wine, champagne, spirits).
• Silicone Wiping Ring: Integrated into the cooling sleeve to remove moisture from bottles upon removal.
• Ice Scoop: A plastic scoop for convenient ice handling.
• Covers: Two see-through covers, one for the ice area and one for the bottle sleeve.
• Carrying Handle: For easy transport of the unit.

Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (main unit, cooling sleeve, scoop, covers) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Assemble Cooling Sleeve: Ensure the stainless steel cooling sleeve is properly seated within its designated compartment in the main unit. The integrated silicone wiping ring should be visible at the top opening of the sleeve.

Operating Instructions

1. Add Ice: Fill the larger compartment of the Chill Station with ice cubes. The unit has a generous capacity of approximately 3.3 quarts (3.1 liters) of ice.
2. Insert Bottle: Place your standard 750 ml wine, champagne, or spirits bottle into the stainless steel cooling sleeve. The sleeve is designed to keep the bottle chilled without direct contact with the main ice supply, preventing water rings and dilution.
3. Use Covers: Place the appropriate clear covers over the ice compartment and the bottle sleeve opening to help maintain temperature and prevent ice melt.
4. Serve: Use the included plastic scoop to retrieve ice as needed. When removing a bottle, the integrated silicone wiping ring will help remove excess moisture, keeping your hands dry.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Polder Chill Station, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining ice and liquid. Wash all components (main unit, cooling sleeve, scoop, covers) by hand with warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surfaces.
• Rinsing: Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
• Drying: Dry all components completely before storing to prevent water spots or mildew. Air drying is recommended, or use a soft cloth.
• Storage: Store the Chill Station in a clean, dry place when not in use. Ensure all parts are dry to prevent odors or damage.
