The Convair cooler is a powerful evaporative cooler, that will give you plenty of cool, fresh air. Place the cooler in front of an open door or window so that it is drawing in fresh air. Open a door or window opposite to create flow through ventilation. Ensuring the
cooler has adequate ventilation is important in maintaining cooler performance.

ASSEMBLY
Unpacking the cooler
Unpack the cooler onto a carpet or similar soft surface. The legs and wheels are located underneath the unit. Before assembling the trolley push the wheels onto plastic pins in the legs (Fig 2).
Assembly of trolley
Press two of the legs into the corner recesses at one end of the cabinet so that the holes for the magazine rack face the other two recesses (Fig 3). Introduce the ends of the magazine rack into the holes.
Connect the opposite end of the magazine rack to the other two legs, then push the legs firmly into the cabinet (Fig 4). This is a tight fit (the interference fit holds the trolley into place).
Invert the cooler and check that it is stable.
CAUTION! - Check Voltage
Before connecting your electrical power cord to a power outlet, check that the cooler voltage is the same as your power supply. The cooler voltage will be stated on the rating label at the rear of the cooler (Fig 5).

OPERATING THE COOLER
How to get the best cooling performance
Place the cooler with its back near to an open window or door so it can draw in 100% fresh air. Open another window or door on the opposite side of the room for 'flow through' ventilation (Fig 6). This cooler will not cool properly in a closed room.
Filling with water
Turn the cooler off before filling. The water inlet door is opened by pulling it at the top (Fig 7). Fill the appliance with clean water. The water capacity is 18 litres. The minimum amount of water needed for the pump to operate is 4 litres (Fig 8).
Try to position the cooler where you wish to use it before you fill to avoid unnecessary spillage. Do not overfill as water will spill out
of the cooler! The cooler is full when the water level indicator shows the highest reading. Close the water inlet door after filling.

OPERATING THE COOLER cont.
Using the cooler
When this appliance is used as an air cooler it should be filled with water and the 'COOL' knob turned to the 'ON' position (Fig 10).
Low fan speed
(1) is selected for quietest
operation (Fig 11).
High fan speed
(3) is for maximum cooling
(Fig 12).
Fan only (ventilation)
.
The cooler may be used as a fan only. This is set by turning the 'COOL' knob to the 'OFF' position (Fig 13).
Conditioning of the aspen cooling pad
To get the best performance from your cooler, we recommend that when first used it is run with water for at least 10 minutes at the setting in Fig 12. During this process the water becomes slightly yellow, and there is a natural smell of damp wood. This is normal.

To drain water
Place a bucket under the cooler and drain the water from the reservoir through the drain plug hole (refer Fig 1 part C).
