Your Evaporative Cooler
Congratulations. You have purchased Essick’s unique design in evaporative portable cooling. Your new box fan cooler
has dual features.
First, it is an evaporative cooler that uses the principle of water evaporation to convert hot, dry air into a cool refreshing
breeze.
Second, since humidity changes from hour to hour and day to day, when it is too humid, you may use you unit as a box
fan.
Cooler Operation
After unpacking your Essick Cooler, select the area you wish to cool. Evaporative coolers work best near a partially
opened window to draw in fresh air. An equal amount of air should be discharged out of the room to dispel heat and
humidity.
The cooler can be placed on the floor or on a table. Pour water into the water trough located in the lower portion of the
back grille (fig. 2). The reservoir holds 3 ¼ gallons of water. The level can be seen through the front grille (fig. 3). DO
NOT OVER FILL. Water will leak out and could cause water damage to the surrounding area. If the reservoir runs dry, it
will not harm the pump.
When transporting the unit to a different location, be very careful not to spill the water. It is best to re-locate the cooler,
then add water. Plug the electrical cord into a 115-120 volt grounded outlet. You may operate your cooler on one of three
speeds…low, medium or high (fig. 4). Turn the switch knob clockwise to activate the pump and fan. This will cool the
air. Turn the switch counterclockwise to operate as a fan only (pump will be off) (fig. 4).
