Setup

The Igloo 4 Qt Playmate Mini Cooler comes pre-assembled and ready for immediate use. No complex setup is required. Simply ensure the interior is clean before its first use.

Operating Instructions

Opening and Closing the Lid

1. To open, locate the push-button on the side of the lid. Press the button firmly.
2. Once the button is pressed, the lid will release and can be swiveled open to either the left or right side for full access to the cooler's interior.
3. To close, swivel the lid back into its closed position until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the lid is fully latched to maintain insulation and prevent spills.

Loading Contents

The cooler has a capacity of 6 (12-oz) cans or 4 quarts (3 liters). For optimal space utilization and cooling performance, consider the following loading methods:

• For 6 Cans: Lay the cans on their side. Two cans can be placed side-by-side at the bottom, with another two stacked on top. The remaining two cans can be placed in the middle, also on their side, allowing the lid to close securely.
• For Mixed Contents (Cans and Food): Place up to four cans upright around the perimeter of the cooler. The central space can then be used for food items, such as sandwiches or small containers.
• Always add ice packs or ice to maximize cooling duration.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your cooler:

• Cleaning: Wipe interior and exterior surfaces clean before storing and between uses.
• Odor and Stain Prevention: To prevent stains and odors, empty the cooler of all contents immediately after use.
• Light Cleaning: Light dirt or stains can be cleaned with water or a mild detergent.
• Tougher Stains: For tougher stains, a diluted solution of baking soda and water may be used.
• Drying: Ensure all cleaning agents are thoroughly rinsed and the cooler is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.

Troubleshooting

This product is designed for simplicity and durability. Should you encounter any issues, please review the following:

• Lid Not Closing Securely: Ensure no items are obstructing the lid's path or the latch mechanism. Check for any debris in the hinge area.
• Reduced Cooling Performance: Verify that the lid is fully closed and latched. Ensure sufficient ice or ice packs are used for the volume of contents. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
