Important - The coolbox is hired on the understanding that it is not a replacement for a refridgerator. It is merely an additional precautionary measure, where inadequate or no other means of keeping food cool exist.
Icepacks will be supplied frozen when possible, but should always be replaced in freezer if for next day use.
The coolbox does not make food cold, it keeps it cool if transferred straight from a refridgerator.
Wash hands before and after handling raw food.
If using coolbox to hold raw meat/fish (eg bbq) store at bottom of coolbox below cooked foods and salads.
Always store raw and cooked food seperately.
Never placed cooked food in a container that has been used to store raw food, until it has been thoroughly washed in hot soapy water and rinsed out.
Do not place hot food in the coolbox or use the coolbox to cool down food. The icepacks will melt and render the box useless.
On warm days display smaller amounts of food. Refill platters with food stored in the coolbox as and when neccessary.
Food spillages inside the coolbox should be mopped up using a clean softcloth rinsed out in hot soapy water. On no account should scourers or abrasives be used to clean the coolbox, the inner boxes or icepacks.
The CoolBox Hire Company will not be held responsible for any incidents of food poisoning arising from failure to heed advice relating to safe practice of food preparation, handling, cooking and storage. This advice is freely available on many government websites including Local Council websites.
