Product Overview
The Uthfy Evaporative Air Cooler is a freestanding unit featuring a durable metal body and a large water reservoir. Key components include:
- Control Panel: Located on the top, with buttons for power, fan speed, cooling, and oscillation.
- Air Outlet: Front-facing with adjustable louvers for directing airflow.
- Cooling Pads: Three-sided high-density cooling pads for enhanced evaporation.
- Water Tank: Large capacity (36 gallons) located at the base.
- Water Inlet: For manual and automatic water filling.
- Drainage Port: For easy water removal.
- Caster Wheels: Four heavy-duty 360° wheels (two with brakes) for portability.

Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Positioning: Place the cooler on a firm, level surface in the desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for optimal airflow. The 360° caster wheels allow for easy movement; use the brakes on two wheels to secure the unit in place.
- Water Filling: The unit offers flexible water filling options:
- Manual Top Fill: Open the top lid and pour water directly into the tank. The water level window will indicate when the tank is full.
- Manual Front Fill: Open the front water inlet and pour water.
- Automatic Continuous Fill: Connect a standard garden hose to the included joint on the side of the unit. The water tank will automatically fill and maintain the water level.
For enhanced cooling, place the included ice boxes (5 large ice boxes are provided) into the top tank before adding water. These ice boxes boost the cooling effect by lowering the water temperature.
