Maintenance:

1. Cleaning: After each use, empty the ice box and wash the interior and exterior with a mild soap and warm water solution.
2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
3. Drying: Allow the ice box to air dry completely with the lid open to prevent moisture buildup and odor formation.
4. Storage: Store the clean, dry ice box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing it with the lid slightly ajar can improve air circulation.  

Precautionary Guidance:

• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the stated capacity, as this can strain the structure and compromise insulation.
• Secure Lid During Transport: Always ensure the lid is properly latched to prevent accidental opening and loss of cold contents.
• Minimize Exposure to Extreme Heat: While insulated, prolonged exposure to intense heat can reduce cooling efficiency.
• Use Caution with Dry Ice: If using dry ice for enhanced cooling, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of carbon dioxide gas. Follow established safety guidelines for dry ice handling.  
• Handle with Care: While robust, avoid dropping the ice box or subjecting it to significant impacts that could cause damage.
• Use for Cold Items Only: This ice box is designed for maintaining the temperature of cold items. Introducing hot items can damage the insulation and the plastic material.
