Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative cooling is an economical way to cool. Air is cooled while being drawn across wet evapora­tive media. The movement of this fresh cooled air over the skin is what makes it feel cool. It is important
when using an evaporative cooler in an enclosed space to have adequate exhaust by opening windows,
doors, etc. Without an outlet to exhaust the air, humidity will build up in the enclosed space and the
unit will not cool adequately. It is preferable to have an opening behind the unit to bring in fresh air and
another opening accross the room to exhaust and help move the air.

Safety Rules

1. Unit must be in the Off Position and Unplugged from power receptacle when performing any mainte­nance.

2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug unit into a properly grounded 120 Volt A.C., 60 Hz receptacle.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only on a circuit protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Inter­rupter (GFCI).

4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re or electric shock, do not use this fan with any “solid-state

fan speed control device.”

Maintenance

WARNING: Before doing any maintenance be sure unit is unplugged.

Drain Unit

Note: To remove the media frame, fi rst remove the screw located above the frame.

To drain the unit, remove the media frame and remove the rubber drain stopper from the bottom of the unit
by pulling it out of the drain hole. The unit should be drained periodically to keep the water fresh. We
recommend draining the unit once a week. Drain the water from the unit when it will not be used for an
extended period.

Clean/Replace Evaporative Media

The evaporative media should be cleaned twice a season or when
needed. To clean the media, rinse with clean water. Light scrub­bing might be necessary. Be careful not to damage media. After
about 2 years, or when it becomes clogged, the media will need to be
replaced. To remove the media, press the end of the keeper stem to
push it through the keeper disk (see fi g. 4). This plastic disk will need
to be removed in order to remove the media.

When replacing the evaporative media, install it so that the steeper

fl ute angle of the media is sloping down towards the media frame (see
fi g. 4). Push the keeper stems through the media from the back of the

media frame and press the keeper disks onto the stems to secure the
media in place.
