Cooler Performance and Care

To clean your Kenai cooler, we suggest using a sponge along with a mixture of dish soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with water. For more difficult cleaning jobs, use a mixture of water and bleach (6:1 water to bleach). More challenging cleaning situations could require the use of a mild, abrasive brush along with the water and bleach (6:1) mixture. Always rinse thoroughly with water.

Your Kenai cooler will retain heat as well as cold. So, keep your Kenai cooler stored in a cool area prior to packing. It’s always best to keep your Kenai cooler out of direct sunlight, warm locations, or a hot vehicle. By keeping your cooler cool before using, ice will last longer.

The performance of your Kenai Cooler will be enhanced – and life of ice extended – if everything going into your cooler at the start of your adventure is cool, cold, or frozen.
The best ice to use in your Kenai Cooler is sub-zero ice that is dry or nearly dry to the touch. Ice, as described, will last significantly longer than semi-wet, near 32-degree ice.
We suggest the use of dry ice for longer adventures. At -109-degrees (F) and 3x the cooling power, dry ice freezes items quickly and will keep them frozen. You can mix dry ice with block and/or cube ice. However, if you do, make sure to wear protective gloves to prevent a burn from dry ice.
The slowest melting ice is block ice. Use whenever you can for longest lasting performance. Cubed ice will chill the cooler and contents faster. However, cubes won’t last as long. When it makes sense, use a combination of block and cubed ice in your Kenai Cooler.

Always pack your cooler with as much ices as possible. The most open space you have inside the more air you have. And air accelerates the rate at which ice melts.

Water at the bottom of your Kenai Cooler will be nearly the same temperature as ice. So, don’t toss it away. Just make sure to keep meat and other foods protected from the water.
Direct sun is a coolers worst nightmare. Ice will melt twice as fast if the cooler is in direct sun v. shade. Whenever possible, cover the cooler with a blanket or towel for maximum performance.
Minimize air from escaping the cooler by limiting access. Only open the cooler as needed and close the lid immediately.
