OPERATION Electrical Connection PRODUCT MUST BE IN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH KUUL® EVAPORATIVE MEDIA INSTALLED! All models utilize a single power cord and control switches. Before connecting the plug to an outlet, ensure there is no standing water where the cord may lie or where the operator is standing. The use of separate multiple outlet devices is not recommended. When making electrical connections, ensure compliance to local and national codes. Use only with GFCI Protected Receptacles.
START UP PLACEMENT Make sure there is a clear, unobstructed path in front of the evaporative cooler to provide maximum airflow. If the evaporative cooler is positioned on a raised platform, ensure the platform is stable, well constructed and will not allow the evaporative cooler to tip over. Ensure the platform is strong enough to hold the full weight of the evaporative cooler, including a reservoir full of water.
MAINTENANCE While the rugged, corrosion-resistant construction of the evaporative ensures low maintenance will be required, keeping your evaporative cooler clean will ensure it stays in peak operating condition. DAILY MAINTENANCE The pump should be turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off, which allows the KUUL Comfort™ evaporative media to dry.
