Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your evaporative air cooler. Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

1. Water Tank Cleaning

  • Empty the water tank regularly, especially if the unit will not be used for an extended period.
  • Remove the water tank and clean it with a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
  • Allow the tank to air dry completely before reinserting it.

2. Cooling Pad Cleaning/Replacement

The unit uses three honeycomb cooling pads. Over time, mineral deposits can build up on these pads, reducing efficiency.

  • Carefully remove the cooling pads from their compartments (typically located on the sides and back).
  • Rinse the pads under clean running water to remove dust and mineral buildup. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  • Allow the pads to dry completely before reinserting.
  • Replace cooling pads if they become heavily soiled, damaged, or develop an odor. (Note: Replacement pads may need to be purchased separately from the manufacturer or authorized dealers).
