Introduction
The Coolee is a multi-purpose, portable cooler designed to keep you and your refreshments cool, while also
providing access to music through your Bluetooth
®
enabled smart device and the Coolee Bluetooth
®
speakers.
Simply fill your Coolee with ice cubes, or reusable Cold Packs and a little water, apply power, and enjoy the soothing
breeze. Inside the Coolee you can place as many as 12 soda cans (12 oz. / 335 ml) to be ready with a frosty chill.
The Coolee CL-240 blasts cold air with dual high-speed fans and multi-directional air flow nozzles to provide
refreshing ice-chilled air for maximum relief.
The CL-240’s temperature management system offers two air cooling options; ambient that uses the chilled air inside
the cooler for instant relief, or recirculating water cooling that utilizes a micro-size water pump paired with a heatsink
radiator for maximum cooling performance. A shielded impeller pump delivers boosted efficiency at low noise levels.

Setup
Charging the Battery
⚠ WARNING Plug 110VAC charging cords into a properly grounded electrical receptacle only.
For reliability, a durable injection molded battery case protects the lithium-ion battery cells and the electronics from moisture and harsh
environments. The Coolee super-polymer rechargeable 10,000mAh lithium-ion battery lasts up to 4 hours (100 percent). The battery pack
may be recharged via a freestanding Docking Station, or while the Battery Pack remains installed in the CL-240. For Docking Station
recharging, the Coolee incorporates a quick-release battery system that allows removal from the Coolee.
Charging the Battery in the Docking Station:
1. To remove the battery pack from the Coolee, push down on the “Press” button to release the latch.
2. While depressing the Button, grip the battery’s top panel at the outer edges, and gently pull upward on the battery pack to
remove.
3. Next, insert the Battery Pack (with contacts facing down) vertically into the Docking Station.
4. Choose to power the docking station with either the 110VAC power adapter, or the 12VDC power cord.
5. Connect either the 110VAC power adapter; or the12VDC power cord, to the Docking Station’s 12VDC Port.
6. Plug in the opposite end of 110VAC power adapter into a properly grounded wall outlet, or the12VDC power cord to a 12VDC
vehicle socket.
7. Charging begins automatically. Remove once a 100 percent charge is achieved.
Charging the Battery in the Coolee:
1. Raise the rubber cover on the Coolee to access the 12VDC Input Port.
2. Choose to charge with either the 110VAC power adapter, or the 12VDC power cord.
3. Connect the 110VAC power adapter, or the12VDC power cord to the Coolee’s 12VDC Input Port.
4. Plug in the opposite end of 110VAC power adapter into a properly grounded wall outlet, or the the12VDC power cord to a 12VDC
car socket.
5. Charging begins automatically. Remove once adequate or 100 percent charge is achieved.
Note: The battery level indicator displays in 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 percent increments. Simply Press and Hold
on the rechargeable battery pack to note the battery level.
⚠ CAUTION The Battery Pack should ALWAYS remain in the Coolee while operating on the 110VAC power
adapter or the 12VDC power cord operation
Install Adjustable Vents and Nozzles
Both adjustable vents secure onto the Coolee with locking O-rings (shown). Push straight on and verify that the vents rotate smoothly. Air
nozzles install by lightly twisting each on / off. Adjustable Vent assemblies feature stay-put ducting and allow maximum directional control
and air flow.
Operation
Operating the Coolee is easily accomplished from the Touch Control Panel which operates three on-off functions: fan speeds, cooling
pump, and Bluetooth. Power may be supplied to the Coolee through either the 110VAC Power Adapter or the 12VDC power cord. A fully
charged Coolee can supply 10,000 mAh of electrical power to charge portable devices through the USB-A port.
CL-240 Air Cooler, Ice Chest & Bluetooth Speaker 6 P/N 5900294— Rev. B2 — November 2023
Chilling Drinks
Your Coolee can hold up to 12 beverage cans inside its compartment. Once added, simply fill the inner
compartment with ice cubes, or reusable cooling packs and water, making sure to add enough water to
cover the water pump.
⚠ CAUTION The Water Pump MUST be covered with water during any operation.
Water lubricates, feeds, and cools the pump. Running the pump dry will
damage the pump.
Portable Air Cooler
Your Coolee can provide a continuous blast of cool air. Just use the touch button controls on the top panel to begin producing streams of
air flow. Each of the Coolee’s dual 46 CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute) fans deliver cold air up to 35°F / 19°C below the ambient temperature,
providing maximum relief instantly. The proprietary cooling system features two cooling fans with separate controls and variable speeds.
Dual-zone climate control allows users to set up to 3 air flow settings. A single ambient air fan (FAN A) pulls chilled air from inside the cooler
and blows through one of the vents. A second fan (FAN B) uses recirculating cold water and a miniature radiator that blows the cool air out
through the second vent. For super cooling, fans may be operated simultaneously.
To use the Cooler:
1. Install a fully charged battery.
2. Press and hold the Power On-Off button for 3 seconds
to apply power to the Coolee.
3. To operate Fan “A” and adjust the fan speed, press Fan
“A” button once for low and twice for high speed (Fan
levels will display on the control panel). To shut down Fan
A, press and hold the Fan “A” button.
4. To operate Fan “B” and adjust the fan speed, press Fan
“B” button once for low and twice for high speed (Fan
levels will display on the control panel). To shut down Fan
B, press and hold the Fan “B” button.
5. Selecting a low Fan Speed will provide the maximum Coolee running time.
6. To engage the Cooling Pump, press the Cooling Pump On-Off button for approximately 3 seconds.
7. To access the USB-A Output or 12VDC Input ports, lift the rubber cover and plug in the appropriate power cord.
8. To shut down Power to the Coolee, press and hold for 3 seconds.
Bluetooth Operation
The Coolee includes a Bluetooth
®
v5.0 receiver that will stream audio files from your Bluetooth enabled smart device and delivers precision
sound with up to 8 hours of playing time (depending on fan use and battery charge level). An insulated Bluetooth speaker enclosure is both
water resistant and tuned to provide the best sound at every volume level.
Engage Bluetooth listening as outlined below.

1. Apply power to the Coolee.
2. Start the Bluetooth Press and hold 3 seconds.

Easy Cleaning
To clean the Coolee, simply unzip all compartments, turn off power, remove battery pack, and remove all items from inside. Wipe with a
medium-size cloth, dampened in warm water and mild soap. After wringing out the lightly soaped towel, wipe the inside and outside of the
Coolee clean with a fresh damp cloth towel (without soap). Then leave all sections open, unzipped, and allow to air dry.
Storage
During periods of non-use, it is best to store the Coolee away from harsh elements. Before storing, make sure to remove personal items
and clean the Coolee as outlined in Easy Cleaning above. It is also advisable to remove the battery pack and fully recharge it before storing.
Keep the removed battery pack separate from the Coolee and placed where it is away from children. Storage temperature for all Coolee
items range from +14˚F to 104˚F / -10˚C to +40˚C. Extended storage inside a vehicle’s trunk or other vehicle compartment is not
recommended.
⚠ WARNING Do not operate the Coolee if you find maintenance issues. Remove it from service. Assistance is
