Water Connection; Before Startup - BONAIRE Durango 4500E Owner's Manual

BONAIRE WINDOW COOLER
Installation

Use the two 'Wall Anchors' provided to fix the cooler to the outside of the house if a 'stucco-type'
wall is being used. (Note that if the unit is not hard up against the wall, these fixing screws will go
into the spacer block (2' x 4') already installed).


For solid walls, brick or masonry, use suitable masonry lag anchors.


Place the unit in position, mark screw positions, remove unit then drill pilot holes for timber walls
(1/8" or 3.2mm).


Replace unit in window, fit screws with Washers – 3/16 x 7/16 x 20g flat

Water Connection

Install a sillcock and water valve (not supplied) to the faucet
closest to the cooler and attach water supply line between
cooler and water valve.
The overflow is factory fitted. The bleed hose protruding through
the overflow fitting SHOULD bleed water during normal
operation at a rate between 6 – 12 Litres per hour (1.5 – 3
gallons per hour). This is normal and is designed to preserve
the quality of the Cooler and Cooling efficiency of the Unit. If
required this Bleed water can be plumbed away using standard
'over-the-counter' garden hose and fittings.
The float valve is factory set and should require no further
adjustment at time of installation (see page 13 if adjustment is
required).
Your cooler is now ready for startup checklist (see below).

Before Startup


Check that another door or window in the room is open to allow air to exhaust to other parts of the
house.

Turn the water supply to the cooler on.

Plug the cooler into a 110V 60Hz single phase grounded appliance socket on the inside of the
house and switch the socket on.

Turn the unit on to FAN mode and check the operation of the three speeds fan.

Rotate the control knob to COOL mode and operate the three speed fan and pump.

Leaving the unit in the COOL mode, check that a constant small stream of bleed off water is
coming from the overflow tube. This bleed off is designed to reduce mineral build up on the
CELdek® filter pads.

You may notice a wet paper smell as the water circulates around the filter pads. This is normal
during the commissioning phase and at the beginning of each season when the unit is operated
after the winter break. It will only last for a short time.
