MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

CAUTION: Turn off the evaporative cooler and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet

before cleaning, servicing or performing any maintenance on the unit.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE EVAPORATIVE COOLER

• Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft moist cloth.

• Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible

damage.

• Use care when cleaning around the control switch; make sure no water enters near the control switch.

The warranty does not cover damage caused by water.

CLEANING THE RESERVOIR

• Unscrew and remove the Back Panel to access the Reservoir.

• Empty the Reservoir.

• Use a cloth (dipped in mild detergent solution) to wipe the Reservoir and rinse it with water.

• Cleaning the Reservoir at least once a week will help reduce any mineral deposits and keep the filters

clean.

• Do not run the unit in cooling mode with stale water in the Reservoir.

• Empty the Reservoir and refill it with fresh water if water has been left in the Reservoir for an

extended period.

MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE RIGID MEDIA PADS

The frequency of cleaning the Rigid Media Pad depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where

the mineral content of the water is high (hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the media pad and

restrict air flow. If mineral deposits remain on the media pad, it should be removed and washed under

fresh water or replaced. We recommend cleaning the media pad at least every two months, depending on

water conditions.

For best results, allow the media pad to dry after each use by turning off the pump and running the

unit in one of the fan only speeds for up to 15 minutes before turning off the unit.

Media Pad.
