Your new cooler requires no pad prewetting and is easy to clean. The compact size and modern appearance allow easy installation.
Please read our instructions before you install and use your new cooler. This will help you obtain the full benefits from your cooler and will also help you avoid any needless service costs that result from causes we cannot control and cannot cover in our warranty.

INSTALLATION
LOCATING YOUR COOLER
This new design Essick cooler may be installed as a bottom or side air outlet cooler. The cooler must be securely fastened to a frame or pad mount. A roof kit is available from Essick.
A duct must be attached to the cooler outlet. The duct must be the same size as the cooler outlet. Sudden duct size changes will decrease the output of your cooler.
FIGURE 1
WIRING BOX
The wiring box is inside the cooler cabinet. The electrical supply must be connected to the cooler power leads inside the box after the cooler is installed. The wiring box is factory installed for coolers used in the down air outlet position.
IF YOU INSTALL THE COOLER IN THE SIDE AIR OUTLET POSITION THE WIRING BOX MUST BE MOVED. SEE PAGE 5.
The cooler installation must comply with local codes. If you are not fully qualified to install a cooler, get professional help.
Figure 1 shows some locations for your cooler. Be sure the intake louvers are clear of obstructions and are accessible for removal. Do not locate the cooler near vent pipes, chimneys, or exhausts where odors or fumes may be drawn into the house. The two drain holes on the cooler bottom must be clear to allow overflow or drain access.
