General Use: 

  • When not in use, store your IceKool Ice Box with the lid part open and the bung loose, this will allow the icebox to 'breathe'.
  • The day before loading, put ice into the IceKool Ice Box to cool down the walls.
  • Put frozen and/or cold products into the IceKool Ice Box as this will increase the life of the ice.
  • Organise the product in your IceKool Ice Box to ensure that you do not have to keep the lid open longer than necessary.
  • Top up with ice and leave for an hour or so.  Shake the icebox to allow ice to compact with the product and drain any water through the bung.  Re-top up the ice box to reduce the amount of air space in the icebox.
