MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the evaporative cooler from the power supply before servicing
or cleaning.

Regular cleaning and maintenance is an essential step in maintaining the
longevity of your evaporative cooler and ensuring that it operates free of
defects. Maintain your evaporative cooler by following these steps:

EXTERIOR CLEANING

1. Use a soft cloth and a solution of mild soap and warm water to clean the

unit’s exterior. Do not use harsh cleaners, gasoline, paint thinner,

benzene, etc., as these substances can damage the evaporative cooler.

2. Thoroughly dry all of the cooler’s parts with a soft cloth before

reconnecting the unit to the power supply.

CLEANING THE COOLING PADS

To prevent the cooling pads from becoming clogged with dust, mineral
deposits and other buildup, we recommend that they be cleaned at least once
a month.

1. To remove the cooling pads, use a Philips screwdriver to remove the side

and rear panels.

2. Rinse the pads with clean water to remove dust. For a more thorough

cleaning, use a diluted vinegar solution to wash the pad. If necessary,
immerse the pad in the diluted vinegar solution for 30 seconds to remove
hard water buildup. Be sure to rinse the pad thoroughly with clear water to
remove vinegar residue.

3. Allow the filter and the cooling pad to air dry completely before replacing

them in the unit. Secure the panels with the screws.

Say Goodbye to Ugly Products

WATER TANK CLEANING

The water tank should be emptied regularly to ensure hygienic use. To empty
the tank:

1. Remove the back panel and cooling pad to provide access to the interior of

the evaporative cooler.

2. Pull the drain plug from the bottom of the unit.

3. To clean the tank, rinse it with warm water and a light detergent solution.

Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely.

WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE

Hard water buildup can affect the performance of the cooler’s water pump. To
prevent malfunctions, clean the pump and internal tubing with a calcium and
lime cleaning product (such as CLR) at least once a season.

1. Empty any water from the tank.

2. Pour the cleaner into the water tank and close it, making sure the pump is

submerged in the cleaner.

3. With the tank closed, allow the pump to soak for 10 to 20 minutes.

4. Remove the cooling pads from the back and sides of the unit.

5. Run the cooler for 30 seconds. This will circulate the cleaning solution

through the pump and tubing to remove any leftover mineral deposits. Do
not operate longer than 30 seconds, or damage might occur to other parts
of the cooler.

6. Rinse the tank and fill it with clean water. Run it for several minutes

without the cooling pad in place to ensure the cleaning solution has been
rinsed away.

7. Replace cooling pads and operate unit as normal.

If the evaporative cooler will not be in use for an extended period of time, place
the unit back in its original carton and keep it stored in a clean, dry place.
