louvers will close, then the evaporative air cooler will
beep and automatically resume operation at the previous
settings after approximately 30 seconds.
Securely seat the water tank in place.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture
blocking the front of the evaporative air cooler.

added cooling power, add ice cubes to the water tank,

The cooling function of the evaporative air cooler is most
effective if the relative humidity level is below 75%. For
