FAQs
Can I use dry ice in the Vango Pinnacle?
It is recommended to use standard ice packs or ice cubes. Dry ice can reach temperatures that may damage certain plastic linings if not handled correctly.
How many cans can this hold?
The cooler has a 45-litre capacity, capable of holding up to 66 standard beverage cans.
Does it have a drain plug?
Yes, standard cooler maintenance involves checking the base for a drain plug to release melted ice water, though always refer to the specific unit markings.
How heavy is the cooler when empty?
The cooler weighs 6.3kg when completely empty.
Can I sit on the lid?
While the exterior is high-density polyethylene, it is primarily designed as a cooler. Avoid excessive weight on the lid to ensure the hinges and seals remain intact.
Troubleshooting
Cooler is not maintaining temperature for 100 hours.
Ensure the lid is latched securely and minimize the frequency of openings. Pre-chill the cooler and ensure a high ratio of ice to food items.
Difficulty pulling the handle.
Check the wheels for obstructions like pebbles or dirt. Lubricate the wheel axles with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
Interior has a musty smell.
Deep clean with a mixture of water and baking soda, then allow the unit to air dry fully in a well-ventilated area with the lid open.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: ensure the unit is placed on a level surface to prevent rolling. When not in use, keep the lid slightly ajar to allow the interior to dry completely, preventing mold or unpleasant odors. To clean, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing brushes that could damage the high-density polyethylene surface. Always ensure the wheels are free of debris, such as mud or small stones, before storing the unit for long periods.
