3.2 Water Filling Methods

The unit features a large 10.6-gallon water tank and offers multiple convenient ways to add water:

• Top Water Fill: Open the top lid of the unit and pour water directly into the tank. This method is convenient for manual refills without bending.
• Manual Side Fill: Locate the small access door on the front-bottom of the unit. Open it and pour water into the designated opening.
• Continuous Water Fill: For extended operation, attach a standard garden hose to the adapter located on the side of the unit. The cooler features an auto-pause function to prevent overfilling.

Monitor the water level using the visual water level indicator on the front of the unit. Ensure the water level is above the 'MIN' mark for the cooling function to operate correctly.

3.3 Ice Pack Preparation and Placement

For enhanced cooling, the unit includes three ice packs. Freeze these ice packs for 3-5 hours before use. Once frozen, place them into the filled water tank via the top opening. This helps to further reduce the surrounding temperature.
