Maintenance:
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug unit from power before any maintenance is
performed.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The cellulous media used in these portable evaporative coolers must be kept in
good condition to maintain the stated cooling capabilities. We recommend draining
the unit weekly and refilling to keep water fresh and reduce mineral build-up on
media.
Weekly Draining:
(Accomplish when water level is low or unit is out of water.)
1. Turn unit off. Unplug and move it to
an area that will not be damaged by
water.
2. Unscrew the drain cap from the
bottom of the back of the unit. Allow
any remaining water to drain out of
unit.
3. When cleaning the media pad,
try to preserve the integrity of the
fluted surface.
4. Reinstall drain cap and refill with
fresh water. Plug in and operate per
instructions.
Regular Servicing:
(Accomplish at least twice a season,
more often in areas with hard water.)
1. Remove back section (see Step 1
under Assembly.)
2. Using water hose, wash out back with
fresh water. Clean media pad. DO
NOT use chemicals or pressure
washer on media.
3. Using a screw driver or other tool, pry
off the four keeper discs, then push
the stems back through the media
and extract them through the back.
Remove pad.
4. Rinse media with water. Light
scrubbing may be necessary.
Be careful not to damage the media.
NOTE: Average life expectancy of the rigid
media pad is 2 years, though water with high
mineral content will deteriorate the integrity
of the media sooner.
