Placement
It is essential for successful operation of the evaporative cooler that there be sufficient free air openings in
the room to be cooled – approximately 0.5m² (5.4² feet). Open doors and windows will usually provide
this. Your cooler must be positioned in front of an open window or door if it is to operate effectively.
Always ensure that there is another open window or door through which the air can exhaust from the
room.
