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.
WeeklyDraining
(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 media frame section by extracting one
screw from center of upper grate.
2. Using a 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.
