Setup
Before first use, follow these simple steps to prepare your cooler:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the cooler from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the interior and exterior of the cooler with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before use or storage.
- Pre-chilling (Recommended): For optimal ice retention, pre-chill your cooler by placing a bag of ice or ice packs inside for several hours before loading your items. This lowers the internal temperature of the cooler, reducing the initial thermal load on your fresh ice.
Operating Instructions
Loading the Cooler
- For best results, use block ice or a combination of block and cubed ice. Block ice melts slower than cubed ice.
- Pack the cooler as full as possible. Air space allows ice to melt faster.
- Place items that need to stay coldest at the bottom, covered by ice.
- Minimize opening the lid to maintain internal temperature.
Transporting Your Cooler
The Coleman Xtreme 50qt cooler features durable wheels and a telescoping handle for easy portability.

- Wheels: Tilt the cooler and pull it using the telescoping handle. The durable wheels are designed to navigate various terrains.

Drainage System

- To drain melted ice water, simply unscrew the drain plug located at the bottom side of the cooler.
- Once drained, securely screw the plug back in to prevent leaks.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Coleman cooler.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the interior and exterior with mild soap and warm water. For stubborn stains, a solution of baking soda and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Ensure the cooler is completely dry before closing the lid for storage to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the lid slightly ajar during storage if possible.
- Storage: Store the cooler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
