How to Operate Your Cooper Cooler to Chill Beverages

Now that you are ready to use your Cooper Cooler, please follow these simple instructions to rapidly chill your beverages. See dia- gram on page 8.

Place the unit on a clean, dry, level surface. Carefully remove the clear thin film protector on the Touch-Pad Timer. Plug the barrel plug of the household power adaptor into the back of the unit and the other end into an appropriate outlet. For Tailgater units being operated in a car setting, plug the barrel plug of the car power adaptor into the back of the unit and the other end into a cigarette lighter port. The BOTTLE, CAN, and WINE lights will flash to indicate it is ready to operate. Add two standard trays of ice cubes (approx. 30 cubes) into the machine. Make sure ice is not trapped between the roller and side ribs or above the drive roller. Note: Two standard ice trays will chill five to six 12 oz. beverages.
Pour two cups of cold water (16oz.) into the ice-water bin. Check to see if the ice-water bath is above the minimum fill line, but not over the maximum fill line.
Lift the lid and place your beverage container horizontally onto the roller with the container neck or top facing out. For maximum cooling results, the container should be resting on the right side of the drive roller.
Secure the removable lid cap and close the lid. Check to make sure the lid is down to prevent water from leaking out.
If your container has a longer neck, such as with a typical wine bottle, remove the removable lid cap by sliding it downward.
This will allow the neck to stick out of the unit. See page 7.
Choose from the following STANDARD SETTINGS to chill your desired beverage to 6°C/43°F:

Electronic Touch-Pad Timer

CAN – Choose this setting for beverages in 7oz. to 16 oz. aluminum cans. The cycle lasts 1 minute.

BOTTLE – Choose this setting for beverages in 7oz. to 14 oz. glass or plastic bottles. The cycle lasts 3.5 minutes.

WINE – Choose this setting for wine bottles or thicker glass containers. The cycle lasts 6 minutes. See our Wine Temperatuature Guideline Chart for chill times and temperature recommendations on page 10.

You may also select from the following OPTIONAL SETTINGS depending on your beverage chilling needs.

EXTRA – This setting will chill your beverage down to ice cold 1°-2°C/34°-36°F by doubling the time of the STANDARD SETTINGS.

NO SPIN – This setting is used to chill non-cylindrical or non-rotatable containers. This setting should also be used if you do not wish to agitate the contents of your beverage container, such as delicate wines. Note: Spraying the container with cold water still provides excellent cooling.
CAN + NO SPIN cycle time lasts 2 minutes.
BOTTLE + NO SPIN cycle time lasts 6 minutes.
WINE + NO SPIN cycle time lasts 10 minutes.

Once the cycle setting is chosen, press the START/STOP button and watch your beverage chill to perfection. Please note: Although the times are pre-set for your convenience, the cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the START/STOP button.

7. After the cycle has elapsed, make sure the all motion has stopped. Lift the lid and remove your cold beverage.
8. After prolonged use, check to see if the Add Ice Indicator Light is on. If it is, add additional ice and remove any excess water. The ADD ICE indicator light will not turn off until you press the START/STOP button to begin chilling another beverage. See ADDING MORE ICE & REMOVING WATER on page 9 for detailed instructions.

Removable Lid Cap

Quick Start Guide to Chilling

Lift lid to upright position.
Add two trays of ice and two cups (16 oz.) of cold water.
Place container on the right side of the roller with the top/neck of the container facing out.
Close the lid and choose your beverage chilling setting.

Adding More Ice and Removing Water

Ice will need to be added as additional beverages are chilled. The ADD ICE indicator light in front of the unit is lit when the ice/water bath is above 4°C/39°F. The ADD ICE indicator light will not turn off until you press the START/STOP button to begin chilling your next beverage.
To add more ice, follow the steps below:

Remove water until it is even with the minimum fill line. To remove water, select the CAN + NO SPIN setting. Place a cup under the water exit jet and press the START/STOP button. When the cup is full, press the START/STOP button again and discard the water. Continue this process to remove more water until it is at the minimum fill line.
Add a minimum of one tray of ice to the ice and water bin and make sure no ice is trapped between the roller and side rib or above the drive roller.

Wine Temperature Guideline Chart

Wine Type	Temp. (°F/°C)	Chill Time with SPIN Setting	Chill Time NO SPIN Setting
Red,	59°-65°F	1 minute	2 minutes/
Zinfandels, Burgundy	15°-18°C	CAN	CAN + NO SPIN
Ports, Sherry,	52°-57°F	2 minutes	4 minutes
Lighter Reds	11°-14°C	CAN + EXTRA	CAN + EXTRA + NO SPIN
Roses, Dry	46°-50°F	3.5 minutes	6 minutes
Whites	8°-10°C	BOTTLE	BOTTLE + NO SPIN
Sweet Whites, Sparkling	41°-45°F 5°-7°C	6 minutes WINE	10 minutes WINE + NO SPIN

You can now enjoy wine at any temperature, not just the temperature of your refrigerator. Please note: The final temperature of the beverage will vary based on the starting temperature. This chart assumes a starting temperature of 20°C/68°F to 25°C/77°F. The WINE setting is set to chill a standard wine bottle from 25°C/77°F to 6°C/43°F. The chilling cycle is six minutes. You can stop the machine at any time during the cycle by pressing the START/STOP button. With certain bottles, there may be a small amount of splashing out of the front of the unit when the lid cap is removed. Please Note: Chilling wine rapidly does not alter the quality or taste of wine. If you are using the Cooper Cooler for wine, the unit has two modes of operation—a regular mode which sprays the rotating bottle with ice water, and an optional NO SPIN mode which sprays the wine bottle with ice water without rotation. The NO SPIN mode serves two purposes:
• For those who feel that rotating may agitate their fine wines.
• For those who save/collect their wine labels since rotating the wine bottle may groove or tear off the wine label. Select the NO SPIN button after any of the other buttons (BOTTLE, CAN, WINE, or EXTRA) to activate the NO SPIN mode. See the graph below for approximate wine bottle chill times starting from room temperature 77°F/25°C.

How to Operate Your Cooper Cooler as a Baby Bottle Warmer

Turn on your hot tap water and let it run until the hottest temperature is obtained (approximately 45°C/113°F to 55°C/131°F).
BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING AND DISPENSING OF THE HOT WATER.
Lift the lid and add hot tap water to the maximum fill line.
Place your baby bottle onto the roller with the nipple or cap side facing out and close the lid. Make sure the nipple or cap is sealed tight to prevent any liquid from leaking.
If your baby bottle is cylindrical and able to be rotated on the roller, select the CAN/BABY BOTTLE button and press the START/ STOP button. The unit will warm the baby bottle for 1 minute. If your baby bottle is not cylindrical or not able to be rotated on the roller, select the NO SPIN button and the CAN/BABY BOTTLE button. Next, press the START/STOP button. The unit will warm the baby bottle for 2 minutes. Please refer to the baby bottle warming chart guidelines on the right for cycle times and approximate temperatures.
When the warming cycle has finished, take your baby bottle out and test the temperature before serving it to your child.
ALWAYS TEST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BABY FORMULA/ BREAST MILK BEFORE GIVING IT TO YOUR CHILD.
If the baby formula/breast milk has not reached your desired temperature, repeat steps 4 and 5.

Baby Bottle Warming Temperature Guideline Chart

When using the Cooper Cooler to heat baby formula, the final temperature will vary based on: the starting temperature of the baby formula, the temperature of the hot water, the volume of formula being heated, and the container being used.
The following chart is presented as a guideline. Warming times will vary. PLEASE NOTE: Household hot water temperature will vary, but is normally between 45°C/113°F and 55°C/131°F.

ALWAYS TEST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BABY FORMULA/ BREAST MILK BEFORE GIVING IT TO YOUR CHILD.
