Setup

First Use Preparation

Before first use, ensure the cooler is clean and dry. For optimal insulation, you can utilize the one-way vacuum valve to remove air from around the insulation. This enhances the cooler's thermal performance.

To use the vacuum valve:

1. Locate the vacuum valve on the side of the cooler.
2. Open the valve cap.
3. Use a standard vacuum cleaner hose attachment to remove air from the insulation layer.
4. Once air is removed and the cooler's walls feel firm, close the valve cap securely.

Operating Instructions

Filling and Sealing

To fill the cooler, unroll the top to access the wide mouth opening. Load your desired items, such as beverages and food. For optimal ice retention, it is recommended to fill the cooler with a 2:1 ratio of ice to drinks. Engel Ice Packs can also be used for enhanced performance.

Once filled, roll the top down tightly at least three times to create a watertight seal. Secure the buckles on the sides to maintain the seal and form a convenient top carry handle.
