Outdoor Misting Fan: Misting Manifold Clean and Care Guide:
If the nozzles become clogged from contamination, follow the steps below:
- Turn the water off at the source.
- Remove the misting assembly’s valve adapter from garden hose or spigot and the hose adapter. Do this carefully and allow residual water pressure to drain. Cycle (turn the handle back and forth) the valve and ensure freedom of movement and that there is no debris blocking the water’s path.
- Remove the screen filter from inside the Misting Assembly Valve Adapter. Inspect and ensure the screen filter is free of buildup or debris. If filter is clogged, soak in a solution of undiluted 5% acidity distilled white vinegar for at least 2 hours. For an immediate solution, replace the filter.
- Carefully remove each misting nozzle from the nozzle housing by turning it counter-clockwise using your hand or, if required, a pair of pliers. Soak the nozzles in a solution of undiluted 5% acidity distilled white vinegar for at least 2 hours. For an immediate solution, replace the nozzles with the supplied replacement parts. If more nozzles are required, call 1-800-233-0268, or order online at www.laskoproducts.com in Parts & Accessories.
- After the appropriate amount of soak time for the parts requiring cleaning, reassemble the misting subsystem by inserting the misting nozzles into the Nozzle housing and turning clockwise until secure. (Figure 5) Only turn until hand tight; do not over tighten. Next, return the screen filter to the inside of the manifold’s valve adapter. Finally, reattach the valve adapter to the hose adapter. (Figure 4)
- You are now ready to continue to stay cool with your mistoTM Outdoor Misting Fan.
