Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior and exterior with mild soap and warm water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the plastic.
- Drying: Ensure the cooler is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: Store the cooler with the lid slightly ajar to allow for air circulation and prevent odors. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
- Items not staying cold:
- Ensure the lid is securely closed and latched.
- Pre-chill the cooler before adding contents.
- Use an adequate amount of ice or ice packs.
- Minimize opening the lid to retain cold air.
- Lid not closing properly:
- Check for any obstructions around the lid or latch mechanism.
- Ensure the cooler is on a flat, stable surface.
- Leakage: The cooler is designed to be spill-resistant when the lid is secured. However, it does not have a watertight seal for melted ice if tipped over. Avoid tipping the cooler when it contains melted ice.
