Setup

The Igloo IMX 70 Qt Cooler is designed for immediate use with minimal setup. Before first use, it is recommended to clean the interior and exterior surfaces.

Pre-Use Preparation:

1. Initial Cleaning: Wipe interior and exterior surfaces clean with water or a mild detergent. Ensure the cooler is thoroughly rinsed and dry before storage or first use.
2. Pre-Chilling (Optional): For optimal ice retention, pre-chill the cooler by placing a bag of ice inside for a few hours before loading with contents.
3. Loading Contents: Arrange items efficiently. For best results, use a mix of block ice and cubed ice. Place items that need to stay coldest at the bottom.

Operating Instructions

Using the Cooler:

• Lid Latches: Secure the lid using the rubberized latches on the front. These latches are designed to create a tight seal, maximizing ice retention.

• Tie-Down Points: Integrated tie-down points allow you to secure the cooler during transport or use it to haul other gear.
• Self-Stopping Lid Hinge: The lid is designed with a self-stopping hinge detent to prevent it from accidentally slamming shut.
• Drain Plug: The threaded drain plug allows for easy draining. It can be hooked up to a water hose for convenient emptying.
