Goldair GCEV220 5L Evaporative Cooler
Evaporative Cooler
Please read these instructions & user manual carefully. It is important to note that Evaporative Coolers are fans that pass the room air through a filter that has water pumped over it in order to create a cooler air flow. You can add ice to the water to help cool the air more but there is no refrigeration system in the unit so the water in the tank will eventually come up to room temperature. Unlike a portable air conditioner, it will not expel the hot air from the room so will not dramatically bring the air temperature in the room down. Do not place the unit in wardrobes or other enclosed spaces as this may cause a fire hazard. It is recommended that this appliance is plugged directly into the wall socket. Power boards are not rated to supply power to high wattage appliances. A correctly specified, undamaged extension cord may be used with this Evaporative Cooler provided it is used in a safe manner. Do not dispose of packaging until completely satisfied with your purchase. Please refer to your user manual for operating instructions, further information or trouble shooting before you call the Customer Service number listed within the user manual.
