CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ATTENTION:

MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the evaporative cooler from the power supply before servicing
or cleaning.
Regular cleaning and maintenance is an essential step in maintaining the
longevity of your tower evaporative cooler and ensuring that it operates free of
defects. Maintain your evaporative cooler by following these steps:
EXTERIOR CLEANING
1. Use a soft cloth and a mild soap and warm water solution to clean the
unit's exterior. Do not use harsh cleaners, gasoline, paint thinner, benzene,
etc., as these substances can damage the evaporative cooler.
2. Thoroughly dry all of the cooler's parts with a soft cloth before
reconnecting the unit to the power supply.
CLEANING THE DUST FILTER & COOLING PAD
To prevent the cooling pad and filter from becoming clogged with dust, mineral
deposits and other buildup, we recommend that it be cleaned at least once a
month.
1. Remove the dust filter from the back of the unit by pushing down on the
two tabs located above the filter and pulling it out. Gently scrub it with a
soft brush and rinse with water.
2. While the dust filter is off, turn the knob on the pad clockwise and pull it
out from the back of the unit. Rinse the pad with clean water to remove
dust. For a more thorough cleaning, use a diluted vinegar solution to wash
the pad. If necessary, immerse the pad in the diluted vinegar solution for
30 seconds to remove hard water buildup. Be sure to rinse the pad
thoroughly with clear water to remove vinegar residue.
3. Allow the filter and the cooling pad to air dry completely before replacing
them in the unit.
