Pre-chill Your extreme Ice

 Vault:

The process of pre-chilling is very helpful for the proper operation. It allows the internal temperature of the cooler to “cool down” and the maintain the cool temperature to chill the contents you add.  The cooler should be pre-chilled a minimum 4 hours. Ideally overnight.

Options for pre-chilling your cooler:

Purchase extra ice and use the first part to “cool down the cooler “ then discard it and fill with fresh ice after loading your contents

Pre-chill your contents: If possible, chill or freeze any goods you are bringing before placing them in the cooler. The ice will last much longer.

Keep it chilly : water from melted ice  is not a bad thing! Cold water which occurs after a few days helps insulate the remaining ice better than empty air space. Open the lid as few times as possible to reduce the addition of warm air from the outside.

“All ice is not created equal”. In other words, ice performance can vary greatly. Block ice will melt slower than cube ice but cube ice with a large total surface area will cool items faster. You may want to consider a mixture of both types. Start with very cold, solid ice versus wet ice that has already begun to melt. Fill cooler with as much ice as possible to reduce empty air. spaces.

Keep it clean Since it is designed to handle food, it is important to keep your cooler clean. For first time use, clean with warm water and dish soap. For higher cleaning needs, mix water and bleach in 6 to 1 ratio for cleaning (use rubber gloves) be sure to clean the entire inside gasket area and rim, Also clean the threads by the drain area (a toothbrush is helpful for this)   Make sure cooler is completely dry before storing in a cool place out of the sun for your next adventure.
