11. Remove the drain cap from the underside of the bottom and rinse with a hose to flush any
manufacturing dust, etc. from the unit. Replace the drain cap.
12. Replace the pads, the protective retaining grates, and the grate brackets.

REGULAR CLEANING
The frequency with which the WayCool
®
is cleaned will depend on the environment in which it is used. The
more dirty the environment the more often it will need cleaning. In most cases the WayCool
®
will need to be
cleaned weekly.
Caution: The pads should be dry before you handle them, as they are stronger when dry than when
they are wet and less susceptible to damage. If they are wet, run the unit in the HIGH VENT position
until they are dry. After cleaning, let the pads air dry before you replace them.
1. Turn the switch to OFF and unplug the unit.
2. Remove the grate brackets and the plastic retaining grates and check the pads for cleanliness. If they
are dirty, remove and clean with a garden hose. If they are not dirty you will still need to remove the
cooling pads to clean the inside of the unit. Dirty cooling pads reduce the unit's effectiveness.
3. Use a garden hose to rinse out the bottom and the inside of the unit. The dirt that accumulates is
removed from the air during operation, as the Waycool unit also acts as an air filter.
4. Remove the drain cap from the underside of the unit and let the unit drain completely. Rinse out any
remaining dirt.
5. Replace the drain cap (finger tighten only).
6. Remove the pump discharge filter by unscrewing the top, removing the screen and rinsing it with a
hose or under a tap. Replace the filter screen and screw the top back on.
7. Remove the pump filter from underneath the pump. Wash thoroughly with a hose. Compress filter
and place back under the pump.
8. Replace the cooling pads once they are dry and reinstall the plastic retaining grates and the grate
brackets.
Note: With proper use and regular cleaning, the cooling pads will last about two seasons. If you
handle them wet and are abusive, however, they will be easily damaged.
