CL-50R Coolee, Ice Chest & Bluetooth Speakers 8 P/N 5900399— Rev. A — May 2024
Operation
Operating the Coolee is easily accomplished from either the Touch Control Panel located at the top of
the unit, or with the Hand-Held Remote Control; described later. The Touch Control Panel operates
on-off functions, fan speeds, cooling pump, and Bluetooth. A built-in USB-A Output Port can deliver up to
10,000 mAh on a full charge for portable power and is compatible with any standard USB-A device. Power is
supplied by the onboard battery packs or may be supplied to the Coolee with the 110VAC power adapter, the
12VDC power cord, or by simply placing the Coolee in direct sunlight shining onto the solar panels.
Chilling Drinks
Depending on how much ice is added, the Coolee has enough room to hold over 50 beverage cans (12 oz.).
Once the desired number of beverages are added, simply fill the inner compartment with enough ice or
reusable cooling packs to chill drinks. Make sure to always 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 panel
controls on the top panel to begin producing streams of cool air. 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 maximum cooling, fans may be operated simultaneously
.
To use the Cooler via the Touch Control Panel (figure below)
1. Install the fully charged batteries.
2. Press and hold the Power On-Off touch panel for 3 seconds to turn on the Coolee.

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. It is also advisable to remove
the battery packs and fully recharge them before storing. Keep the removed battery packs separate from the
Coolee and placed where they are 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 compartments is
not recommended. Indoor storage areas are best.
Ice Chest Best Practices
Pre-Cool your Cooler. Load with Ice the night before leaving to bring its temperature down.
Don't drain the cold water! Cold ice water will help keep food and drinks cold and the internal
heat exchanger will use that cold water to recirculate and distribute cold. Melted ice water
preserves ice better than air.
Always pre-refrigerate food and drinks. Plan ahead. Freeze foods that will tolerate it. Prepare
food early and chill overnight to maximize performance.
Place food in reusable plastic containers to keep it dry.
Remove unnecessary packaging from around food or drinks. It takes up room that is better
suited for ice.
Consider two coolers! One for drinks that will be opened more frequently and one for
perishable food.
Avoid frequent opening and closing or extended open times. Don’t let out the cold air!
Perishable Food should be protected in plastic and placed directly on the ice.
Block ice lasts longer, but cubed or crushed ice cools quicker.
Freeze water bottles to provide both ice and a cool drink.
Replace melted ice with more ice!
Wrap dry ice in a towel and place on top of drinks or food. Use caution with Dry Ice!
Keep rubber seals clean to hold in the cold!
When possible, do not leave the Cooler inside a vehicle’s hot interior.
Before storing, clean the Coolee and allow it to air dry. Keep stored indoors, with
lid partially or fully opened, and batteries removed.
⚠ DANGER
Dry ice is extremely cold (-109.3˚F /-78.5˚C) and can freeze human tissue
on contact. Never place dry ice in your mouth. If swallowed, the dry ice will
rapidly expand and can cause serious injury or death.
Keep dry ice away from children.
