Product Description
The Evaporative Air Cooler is an efficient, energy-saving product. It cools by
combining water evaporation with air movement, through carefully designed and
manufactured equipment, providing maximum efficiency and safety.
The evaporative cooling technology is very economical and gives a number of
additional benefits compared to traditional air conditioning systems for homes
and businesses. The system does not use refrigerants or compressors; it cools
by simply moving air through a surface composed of specially designed
evaporative cooling pads.
The heat from the inlet air is absorbed by the water. The resulting outlet air
temperature drops when the water transforms into gas. Humidity is not
perceived, since the air in the room is renewed approximately every two
minutes, while a comfortable cooling effect is created. Continuous air
circulation is a vital aspect of the evaporative cooling process used in this
equipment and gives it a distinct advantage over air conditioning by
refrigeration.
Unpacking
Handle the unit with care. Visually inspect for shipping damage. If any part is damaged, immediately file a claim with the carrier.

markings shown inside the battery compartment.
Air Renewal Requirements: When your cooler is working, it is important to
leave a window or door open in order to keep a constant airflow and to avoid
any accumulation of humidity and heat. Your Evaporative Cooler does not cool
correctly when airflow is restricted from exiting a room. This causes a
decrease in the cooling efficiency due to an increase in humidity. Therefore,
an opening of at least 1 square foot for every 500 CFM of injected air is
required.
Maintenance
WARNING
Stagnant water may cause bacterial growth and serious health problems. Do not
allow stagnant water to remain in the tank. Drain and clean the water tank
before storage, after seasonal use, and whenever the unit is not used for a
