Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: There is no assembly required. Simply freeze the block flat to ensure the gel distributes evenly across the internal surface area.
Compatibility: This product is engineered to fit the dimensions of the Igloo HLC 6, 12, and 24 coolers. It can also be used in most standard lunch bags or soft-sided coolers.
Care: To clean, hand wash the exterior with mild soap and warm water. Do not submerge the unit in hot water for extended periods, and avoid placing it in a dishwasher, as high heat may compromise the integrity of the plastic seal.
