CARE AND CLEANING

Your new evaporative air cooler is designed to give you many
years of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean
and care for your evaporative air cooler properly.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy
cleaning. A clean air filter helps remove
dust, lint, and other particles from the air
and is important for the best operating
efficiency. Check the air filter every two
weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: For best performance, do not
operate the evaporative air cooler
without the air filter in place.
Rinse the air filter under the faucet. If the filter is very dirty, wash
it in warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the filter. Air dry the filter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
Removing the air filter
Remove the filter from back of the unit by using your thumbs to
press down on the tabs directly above the filter.
Reinstalling the filter:
1. Wait until the filter is completely dry.
2. Reinstall the filter in the evaporative air cooler.
