Your new evaporative air cooler is designed to give you many
years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean
and care for your Evaporative air cooler properly.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air lter is removable for easy
cleaning. A clean air lter helps remove
dust, lint, and other particles from the air
and is important for the best operating
efciency. Check the air lter every two
weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: For best performance, do not
operate the Evaporative air cooler
without the air lter in place.
Rinse the air lter under the faucet. If the lter is very dirty, wash
it in warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
Remove the lter
Remove the lter from back of the unit by using your thumbs to
press down on the tabs directly above the lter.
Reinstalling the filter:
1. Wait until the lter is completely dry.
2. Reinstall the lter in the Evaporative air cooler.
