Troubleshooting

Ice melting too quickly

Ensure the lid is properly seated. For longer chilling, pre-chill the bucket in the freezer for 30 minutes before adding ice. Minimize the time the lid is off.

Exterior is too cold to touch

This is normal due to the insulation. Use the included scoop or a towel to handle the bucket if needed.

Scratches on the powder coating

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If minor scratches occur, they may affect the aesthetic but not the functionality. For deeper scratches, consider touch-up paint if available for metal surfaces.

Lid doesn't fit snugly

Ensure the inner liner is correctly positioned. The lid is designed for moderate coverage and may not create an airtight seal.
