Cleaning and Maintenance:
1.
The Drying Process:
For longer lifetime of your evaporative air cooler, after using the unit, it is recommended
to turn off the cooling function (snowflake button) and run the unit as a FAN only for approximately 30 mins.
This helps to dry out the cooling pads and avoid mildew. The remaining water can be kept in the reservoir for 3
more days, but should be changed at least once a week. If storing for longer than one week, drain the water
from the reservoir using the drain valve at the bottom of the unit, and then complete the drying process.
2.
For the Automatic Drying
: the timer can be used as a convenience for you to dry your unit without having to
occupy it. Simply turn the snowflake button OFF, keep the fan running, press the timer button on for one hour,
and the fan will dry and shut down itself after one hour.
3.
The reservoir can handle 2oz. of bleach in at least 32-gallons of water to refresh the interior. DO NOT put any
other cleaning or foaming products into the machine, because it will foam up the water and over flow your unit.
Do not do this more than once a week.
4.
The black screens protecting your cooling pads will collect dust and should be checked at least once a week
when using frequently. Pull them out and simply hose them off or wipe down with a wet rag and re-insert. To
avoid build up, DO NOT put chemicals on the screens. The screens should be transparent and you should be
able to see completely through them after they have been cleaned. This ensures complete air intake.
5.
Cleaning the cooling pads:
make sure the cooling pads are dry and the machine is unplugged. Use a
screwdriver to remove the back panel of the unit and the cooling pads can easily slide in and out. Rinse softly
with a hose through one side only on low pressure and do not use any chemicals. At an angle, you should be
able to see light though the holes once it has been fully cleaned. Re-insert the pads gently and put the back
panel back into place and put the screws back into place.
