CULER Evaporative Cooler AC/DC Power Adapter Quick Step Guide Owner’s Manual
COOL. EASY. PORTABLE.
Evaporative cooling is the reduction in temperature resulting from evaporation. When water evaporates, it takes heat from the immediate air, leaving that air cooler in the process – like a cool, refreshing breeze off the ocean on a hot day.
Our personal cooling products cool the air by ash-evaporating water, naturally reducing the temperature of the airow propelled
from the unit. No longer is there a need to cool an entire house or area to enjoy cool air. CULER’s unique technology allows you to direct a cool stream of air where you need it most whether indoors, outdoors, or even on the go.

Tips for Optimized Personal Cooling:
• The units are designed for portable, personal cooling, unlike
xed AC that uses chemical refrigerants to reduce the ambient
temperature (temperature on the thermostat) of entire homes and rooms
• Place the unit at least 3 feet (0.9m) from you and do not block the
cool breeze, as the maximum cooling effect is felt directly in the stream of airow
• Do NOT use in an enclosed space (small room with closed windows and doors), as this will increase humidity / moisture and reduce cooling effect
• Do NOT place on or blowing directly at electronics
The temperature change of the projected airow will vary depending on the temperature, humidity and other variables in your location / application

Care
MAINTENANCE / FILTERS
NOTE: Each cooler has two lters:
One for water: And one for air:
The lters are located inside the lter access doors on each side of
the cooler.
It is only necessary to change your
lters if you notice a difference in
the evaporation / performance of the cooler.
NOTE: Filter style may differ from image.
NOTE: High mineral count, calcium, and/or hard water may reduce the life of the lters. Although not required, distilled water may be used to extend the life of the lters and system.
