Technical data

Versions and product features

Petromax offers the Cooler Bag in two sizes and several colours. Hence, you can always choose the right Cooler Bag for your needs. The Petromax Cooler Bag also has cleverly designed features, rendering your travel planning and your excursions in nature even more independent.

Here are the main features at a glance:

1. The ergonomic carrying handles on both sides and on the lid give you the possibility to always hold the bag straight and to be able to put it down comfortably.
2. With the practical shoulder strap, the lightweight Cooler Bag can also be carried over longer distances.
3. The all-round zip is waterproof, preventing melt water from leaking when transporting the Cooler Bag. Heavy pressure on the Cooler Bag, overfilling, or transporting it at an angle or horizontally can affect its waterproofness.
4. Thanks to the integrated bottle opener, you can easily take a drink out of the Cooler Bag and open it immediately.
5. Large accessories can be easily stored in the large front pocket.
6. In the two side mesh pockets, there is room for smaller equipment, such as the Petromax fire kit.
7. The large, flat zipped pocket on the back provides secure storage for other items.

The Petromax Cooler Bag is designed to preserve food and drinks for as long as possible using coolants (ice cubes, cold packs etc.).

Tips for handling the Cooler Bag for a long cooling time
If you follow the instructions below when handling your Petromax Cooler Bag, you will get an optimal and long-lasting cooling result during your outdoor adventures, depending on the ambient conditions. Please note that any deviation from one of the following points can shorten your cooling performance significantly!

1. Cool down the Cooler Bag as much as possible about a day before use by filling it with ice or storing it in a cold place (cellar, garage, etc.).
2. Use large pieces of ice / ice cubes to chill the food. The bigger the ice pieces, the longer the cooling time.
3. Place the ice on top. As cold sinks to the bottom, you increase the cooling time.
4. Food and drinks at room temperature greatly reduce the cooling effect – so chill them as much as possible in the refrigerator before placing them in the Cooler Bag.
5. Every time you open the lid of the Cooler Bag, the temperature stability inside is negatively affected. Therefore, open the Cooler Bag as deliberately and sparingly as possible. The more you open it, the shorter the cooling time.
6. Do not place the Cooler Bag in the sun, but solely in the shade. Direct sunlight will affect the temperature stability.
7. If you need to restock ice during a longer trip, carefully drain some meltwater.
8. Always transport or store the Cooler Bag in an upright position.

Cleaning, care and storage

• To ensure the longest possible product life and function of your Cooler Bag, you should – in addition to correct use – ensure sufficient and regular cleaning and care. Clean the inside and outside of the Cooler
• Bag with a damp cloth. Never use harsh or corrosive cleaning agents, as they can damage the material.
• Dry the Cooler Bag well inside and out and store it upright in a cool, well-ventilated, and dry place with the lid slightly open so that any residual moisture can escape.
• Clean the Mesh Pouch, which is available separately for the Cooler Bags, with a damp cloth and some dishwashing liquid if necessary. Allow it to dry thoroughly afterward. The Mesh Pouch is not machine washable. Please do not store any unpacked food in the Mesh Pouch.

Test conditions cooling duration

The cooling performance of the Petromax kx-bag8/ kx-bag22 Cooler Bags was tested over 6 days according to the procedure recommended in this user manual named “Tips for handling the Cooler Bag for long cooling time”.

Test procedure kx-bag8/ kx-bag22:

1. kx-bag8/ kx-bag22 were tested for 6 days.

2. kx-bag8/ kx-bag22 were filled with a maximum quantity of ice (large ice cubes) of 4 kg/ 10 kg.
   In a second test, the kx-bag22 was filled with half the ice to reach a realistic result when the Cooler Bag also contained food.

3. The ambient temperature during the entire test period was about 21 °C.

4. The kx-bag8/ kx-bag22 Cooler Bags were opened once a day for a short time to check the internal temperature and the ice condition. Within the first 3 days, the temperature was always below

5. °C/ 3 °C. For comparison: This corresponds to the temperature in the coolest compartment of the refrigerator, directly above the vegetable compartment.

6. After 6 days the test was completed with the result that the temperature of the ice water was still 8 °C. For comparison: This is the usual temperature for food in the top compartment of the refrigerator. When the external temperature remained stable, the kx-bag8 Cooler Bags remained efficient for 4 days. In the second test of the kx-bag22 with only 5 kg of ice cubes, the test ended after more than 3 days with the result that the temperature of the ice water was still 8 °C.

Conclusion of the test:
At a constant external temperature of 21 °C and maximum amount of ice (large ice cubes), the kx-bag8 cools its contents for up to 4 days and the kx-bag 22 for up to 6 days with an inside temperature below 8 °C. The cooling bags were opened a maximum of once a day.

Accessories

With the separately available Petromax Mesh Pouch, you can sensibly accessorize your Petromax Cooler Bag. The sturdy Mesh Pouch is foldable and stable. Packed food can be carried inside the Mesh Pouch, e. g. while shopping at the supermarket, which can then be transported to the Petromax Cooler Bag, and finally cooled with ice. After the outdoor cooking experience, excess meltwater can be removed from the Cooler Bag. With one flick of the wrist, the food in the Mesh Pouch is lifted out and the Cooler Bag can be drained from excess water. The pouch is then reinserted into the Cooler Bag. Now, new ice cubes can be added or the Mesh Pouch can be put aside to dry and clean, while the Cooler Bag can also dry.

Warranty

Under proper use, a warranty period of two years will apply to your Petromax Cooler Bag from the date of purchase. This does not cover wearing parts. If your Petromax Cooler Bag cannot be used properly due to defects in the material or manufacturing, you are entitled to a warranty claim. Please contact your retailer for that purpose.
