Troubleshooting

Cooler is not keeping items cold as long as expected.

Ensure the cooler was pre-chilled before packing. Use sufficient ice packs or ice and fill the cooler as much as possible. Avoid opening the lid unnecessarily. Check that the lid is sealing properly and the buckles are secured.

Strap feels loose or is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the buckles are properly aligned and that the leather strap is not twisted. Try adjusting the strap in a quiet environment to get a feel for the mechanism.

Exterior or interior has developed an odor.

Clean thoroughly with a mild detergent and water, then air dry completely with the lid open. Baking soda can be used inside overnight to absorb persistent odors. Ensure food items are properly sealed before placing them in the cooler.

Lid does not sit flush or buckles are hard to fasten.

Check for any obstructions or debris around the lid seal or buckles. Ensure the contents inside are not preventing the lid from closing properly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Pre-chill: For optimal performance, pre-chill the inside of your Polarbox for at least 1-2 hours before packing. This ensures it's ready to maintain cold temperatures from the start.
  2. Pack Contents: Place your food and drinks inside. For best results, use ice packs or frozen water bottles alongside your items. Fill the box as much as possible to minimize air space, which helps retain cold.
  3. Secure Lid: Close the lid firmly and fasten the two side buckles to ensure it's secure for transport.
  4. Adjust Strap: Use the adjustable genuine leather strap for comfortable carrying, either by hand or over your shoulder. The strap can also be used to secure the lid when the box is closed.

Compatibility:

  • The Polarbox is designed as a standalone portable cooler. It is compatible with standard ice packs, gel packs, or ice. It is not designed to be connected to any power source.
  • The lid can be flipped to serve as a tray, compatible with most standard picnic settings.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Drying: After cleaning, allow the cool box to air dry completely with the lid open to prevent odors.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Strap Care: The genuine leather strap can be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather conditioner sparingly.
