FAQs
How many cans can the 24L cool box hold?
The 24L capacity can hold approximately 21 standard cans, along with space for ice packs.
Does this cool box require ice packs in addition to the 12V power?
While the 12V power provides active cooling, using pre-chilled contents and ice packs is recommended for optimal temperature maintenance, especially in warm conditions.
Can I plug this into a mains adapter?
No, this cool box is designed specifically for 12V DC power sources, such as a car's 12V accessory socket.
How long does it take to cool down?
The time to reach optimal cooling depends on the ambient temperature and whether contents were pre-chilled. It's best to plug it in and allow it to cool for at least 1-2 hours before adding warm items.
What is the construction material?
The cool box is constructed from durable polypropylene.
Is it suitable for freezing food?
This electric cool box is designed for cooling, not freezing. It helps maintain chilled temperatures but cannot freeze contents.
How should I clean the cool box?
Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, rinse, and air dry with the lid open. Do not immerse in water.
Troubleshooting
Cool box not cooling
Ensure the 12V adapter is securely plugged into both the cool box and the vehicle's 12V socket. Check that the vehicle's 12V socket is active (usually requires the ignition to be on). Verify the fuse in the 12V plug is intact.
Exterior feels warm
This is normal as the unit dissipates heat generated during the cooling process. The interior temperature is the critical factor.
Condensation inside the box
Some condensation may form due to temperature differences. Wipe dry with a cloth. Ensure the lid is properly sealed.
Reduced cooling efficiency
Ensure the cool box is not in direct sunlight and is placed on a level surface. Pre-chill contents before packing and use adequate ice packs. Do not overfill, allowing for air circulation.
