Changing Cooler Pad (Model WH2906)
CAUTION:
Disconnect all electrical power to the cooler
before attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
Your cooler pad should be changed at least twice a year... at the
beginning of and midway through a season . However, your pad may
need to be changed more frequently, depending on local air and water
conditions. For instance, in areas where mineral content of the water
is high, deposits may build up in the cooler pad, restricting airflow.
Replace pad as follows:
Remove pad frame assembly from cabinet.
Remove pad retainer from frame, using caution as retainer can
spring back. Carefully remove all aspen from pad frame. Remove
and discard old pad.
Using a mild detergent, wash dirt and scale from pad frame and
rinse with fresh water. Wire brushing is not recommended. If finish
is damaged or rusting is noted, repair area as noted in the "Touch-
Up" section.
Lay new pad in frame, starting at trough end, making sure pad is
snug against trough and outer edges with no air spaces. Pad must
completely fill frame (no gaps) or hot air may enter building.
Pad thickness should be uniform across the frame.
Replace pad retainer and lock under edge of frame. Sharp points
must be buried into pad (they hold pad in place and prevent
sagging).
Pre-soak pad and check for air gaps along edges, reinstall pad
frame assembly into unit.

Changing Cooler Pad (Model HE2913)
CAUTION:
before attempting to install, open, or service your cooler.
The condition of your cooler pad should be checked at least once a
year; at the beginning of the season is best. However, your pad may
need to be checked more frequently, depending on local air and water
conditions. For instance, in areas where mineral content of the water
is high or the air is dusty, deposits may build up in the cooler pad,
restricting airflow. Clean or replace pad as follows:
Remove pad frame assembly from cabinet.
Lay pad frame on smooth, flat surface with pad retainer up.
Observe the location / placement of the pad retainer. Remove
retainer by sliding it out from under the pad frame flange. Carefully
remove and discard old pad.
Using a mild detergent, wash dirt and scale from pad frame and
rinse with fresh water. Check slots at top of pad frame to be sure
they are open and clear. Wire brushing is not recommended. If
finish is damaged or rusting is noted, repair area as noted in the
"Touch-Up" section.
Place the slot in the end of the new pad over the bottom flange of
the pad frame and push the pad down against the flange until it
stops. Gently push the top of the pad into the pad frame. Slide the
1" thick pad on top of the large pad already in place. Replace the
pad retainer by sliding the retainer under the pad frame flanges .
Pre-soak pad (this will help with the wetting of the pad on start-up) .
Reinstall pad frame assembly into unit.
