Setup
Preparing your PackIt Freezable Zuma Can Cooler is simple. Follow these steps to activate its cooling capabilities:
- Flatten the Cooler: Ensure the cooler is completely empty and clean. Collapse the cooler flat to maximize contact with the freezer shelves.
- Freeze Overnight: Place the flattened cooler in your freezer overnight (for approximately 12 hours). The built-in EcoFreeze gel will fully freeze, creating a powerful cooling system.

Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your PackIt Freezable Zuma Can Cooler:
- Interior Cleaning: Thoroughly wipe or hand wash the interior lining with mild soap and water.
- Exterior Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior fabric as needed.
- Drying: Allow the bag to dry completely before refreezing to prevent ice buildup or mildew.
- Important: Do not machine wash or place in a dishwasher.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your PackIt Freezable Zuma Can Cooler, consider the following:
- Cooler Not Staying Cold: Ensure the cooler was frozen flat for a minimum of 12 hours. The effectiveness can be reduced in extremely hot external temperatures or if the cooler is not fully zipped.
- Moisture Inside: The interior is designed to be leak-proof. If moisture is present, ensure all containers inside are sealed properly. Condensation can occur on the exterior in humid conditions, which is normal.
- Difficulty Folding: If the cooler is stiff, allow it to warm slightly at room temperature before attempting to fold it flat for freezing.
