Cooler Installation
Installing House Legs
•
NOTE: If installing unit without the use of the installation
kit, omit these directions and those pertaining to Fig. 3.
• Remove two corner screws in the bottom pan (A-Fig 2).
• Place the house leg bracket in the corner of the bottom pan, using
the two top holes in the bracket (B-
Fig 2). Replace the two previously
removed screws to hold the house
leg bracket in place (As shown by
dotted house leg bracket).
• Refer to the instructions “Adjust
house legs” below for adjusting the
house legs.
Mounting Cooler
CAUTION:
Make sure that the mounting surface is strong
enough to support the operating weight of the cooler when in
use. (For operating weight, see Specification Table.)
CAUTION:
Never plug in cooler until installation is com-
plete and unit has been tested for rigidity.
•
Lift out all removable louvered sides.
•
Screw chain hooks into window facing.
Position the two chain
hooks above the neck of the cooler a distance equal to the width of
the cooler apart (A-Fig. 3). Hook one hanger chain in each hook and
then one “S” hook in the other end of each chain.
Operation
Manual Control Units
•
Pump setting.
The rotary switch has 6 settings. The “Pump”
setting will operate the pump without the blower. For best results
turn the switch to “Pump” for a few minutes to wet the pads before
operating the fan.
•
High and low cool settings.
The “High Cool” and “Low Cool”
settings operate both the pump and the blower. Turn the unit to
“Low Cool” when possible. This lower speed allows the air to stay
longer in the wet pads and therefore increases it’s cooling efficiency.
•
High and low vent settings.
The “High Vent” and “Low Vent”
settings operate the blower without the pump. This is useful on
cool nights or at times when just a fan is desired.
Remote Control Units
These units may be controlled using the 3 buttons on the front panel
of the cooler or with the remote control.
• PUMP button.
Pressing this button toggles the pump on and off.
When the LED is lit, the pump is running. For best results turn on
the pump for a few minutes to wet the pads before operating the
fan. The pump must be on while operating the fan for cooling. You
may also want the pump turned off at times when just a fan is
desired.
• FAN button.
Pressing this button will cycle the fan through High
Speed / Low Speed / Off. The LED’s on the front of the control
indicate wether the fan is on high speed, low speed or off (no LED’s
lit).
Note: There will be a 2 second delay between a button
press and the operation of the fan.
• ON/OFF button.
Pressing this button while the pump or fan is on
will turn everything off. Pressing it again while in the off state will
return the fan and pump to their previous operating settings. When
first plugging in the cooler or after power has been interrupted,
pressing the On/Off button will start the cooler in the default state
which is with the pump on and the fan on high.
• Remote Control.
To operate cooler with the remote you must be
within 20 feet and in sight of the cooler. Aim the remote at the front
panel. The buttons on the remote control have the same functions
as the buttons on the front panel of the cooler.
• Battery.
The battery is shipped inside the remote with an insulator
between the battery and the contact. Before initial use, remove and
discard the insulator. To replace the battery, open the battery
compartment, pushing inward on the lock tab while pulling the
battery retainer outward from the remote (See Fig. 1). Place the
battery in the battery retainer, with the positive side up, and slide
the retainer into the remote.
The battery retainer should
slide in freely - Do not force
it.
NOTE:
Dispose of the
used battery promptly.
Keep it away from children.
Do not disassemble and do
not dispose of in fire.
CAUTION:
The battery used in this remote control may
present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or inciner-
ate. Replace the battery with the same type only - lithium
battery, Renata SA type CR2025, rated 3 volts. Use of another
battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Open Windows To Exhaust Air
An often misunderstood concept of evaporative cooling is the amount
of air that should be exhausted. How much should you open your
windows? The fact is that most people do not open their windows
enough. The following method will help you determine the amount
to open your windows.
Champion Air Balancing Method
1. Take a piece of tissue paper and cut it lengthwise into 3 equal
strips.
2. Turn your cooler on High Cool.
3. Open one window at least six inches wide in each room that you
want to cool.
4. Take the piece of tissue paper and put it up against the screen of
the open window furthest from the cooler discharge opening. Let
go of it. It will do one of three things.
IF
It falls down.
THEN
CLOSE all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.
IF
It plasters itself to the screen.
THEN
OPEN all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.
IF
It stays on the screen lightly.
THEN
PERFECT. You are done. Enjoy your cooler.
Notes:
• When switching to Low Cool, you must rebalance your home.
Repeat step 4.
• Once you balance your home you can cool some areas more than
others by opening those windows more and closing the others by
the same amount. Repeat step 4 to make sure your home is still air
balanced.
