Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the evaporative cooler and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Attaching Caster Wheels: If not pre-installed, insert the caster wheels into the designated slots at the bottom of the unit until they click securely into place. Ensure all four wheels are firmly attached for stable movement.
3. Placement: Position the cooler on a firm, level surface. For optimal performance, especially in dry climates, place the unit in an area where it can draw in hot, dry air and distribute cool, moist air. This unit is ideal for areas up to 250 sq. ft.
4. Filling the Water Tank:
   • Pull out the removable 1.45-gallon water tank from the back or side of the unit.
   • Fill the tank with clean, cool water. Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line.
   • For enhanced cooling, place the included ice packs (after freezing) into the water tank.
   • Carefully slide the water tank back into the unit until it is fully seated.

   Note: The water level indicator may be difficult to read due to lack of contrast. Ensure the tank is properly filled without overfilling.

5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

Figure 3: Climate Suitability for Evaporative Coolers

Evaporative coolers are most effective in dry climates (Zone A). They can be used in less ideal conditions (Zone B) but are not recommended for humid climates (Zone C) where traditional air conditioners are more suitable.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the Power button on the control panel or remote control to turn the unit on or off.
2. Fan Speed Adjustment: Use the Speed button to cycle through the 3 available fan speeds (Low, Medium, High). The display will indicate the current speed.
3. Oscillation: Press the Oscillation button to activate or deactivate the enhanced oscillation feature, which helps distribute cool air more widely throughout the room.
4. Timer Function: Use the Timer button to set an automatic shut-off time. The timer can be set for up to 12 hours.
5. Cooling Mode: Ensure the water tank is filled for the evaporative cooling function to operate. The unit utilizes CycloneCirculation™ technology to move cold air, creating a wind chill effect.

The CycloneCirculation™ technology ensures optimal airflow, creating a wind chill effect that feels cooler on the skin by continuously moving air from the pads to the farthest corners of your living area.
