User Manual

The fuller your cooler is with cold food, beverages and ice,
the longer the contents will stay cold. Empty space reduces
the performance of all coolers.

Pre-chilling your cooler
For best results, pre-chill your cooler by fully loading it with ice
the night before use. If the cooler starts out warm before you fill
it, the ice will melt at a quicker pace as the ice will have to cool
down the walls of the cooler.
Starting off with COLD contents
The colder the contents are at the time of packing, the longer
they will retain their initial temperature.
Keeping the cooler out of direct sunlight
A cooler kept in the sun will not perform as well as a cooler
stored in the shade.
Open your cooler as little and for as short
an amount of time as possible
Opening the cooler frequently allows the cool air to escape
and the warm air outside to get in. Opening the cooler less
frequently can greatly increase the performance of your cooler.

Chipped ice and ice from ice machines are not as dense as
ice from freezers and will not perform as well. Using block ice
can further extend ice retention time.

About Ice Retention Claims

The amount of ice used is the most important factor in
achieving long-lasting ice retention.

How coolers are tested for ice claims
Claims that refer to the length of time (in days or hours) that a
cooler “holds ice” or “keeps ice” are typically based on a
testing protocol where the coolers are 100% filled with cubed ice
and are not opened during testing. The test is complete when all
of the ice has fully melted.
Why are coolers tested this way?
Because coolers filled with 100% ice are used across the industry,
it enables consumers to compare the ice retention performance
between different sized coolers and different cooler brands.
While this standard is helpful in allowing for comparisons
between products and brands, it is not an accurate reflection of
“real life” usage. In reality, most people would not fill the entire
cooler with ice but would have food and/or drinks inside along
with some ice. Similarly, most people would open their coolers at
various times during usage and much like a refrigerator, coolers
lose performance the more often they are opened.
