Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air cooler. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
1. Cleaning the Water Tank
Empty and clean the water tank regularly, especially if the unit is used frequently or stored for an extended period. Remove the tank, rinse it with clean water, and wipe it dry. Use a mild detergent if necessary, then rinse thoroughly.
2. Cleaning the Cooling Pads
The cooling pads (also known as honeycomb pads) should be cleaned periodically to prevent mineral buildup and maintain efficiency. Carefully remove the back panel and slide out the cooling pads. Rinse them under running water to remove dust and mineral deposits. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Figure 9: Cooling pads are essential for evaporative cooling.
3. Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface.
4. Storage
Before storing, ensure the water tank is empty and clean, and the cooling pads are dry. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
