IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile product, which combines a room
cooler, humidifier and air cleaner. To get the best cooling effect from your product
please read these instructions carefully.
For the best performance of your Evaporative Cooler it should be filled with water, and
ice if available, and positioned in a location that will create a 'flow through' air effect.The
greatest cooling effect will be felt if the unit is operated in a partly opened doorway or
window with the cooled air directed into the room. It is also important to have a door
or window partly opened away from the air cooler, in order to create the 'flow through'
effect. If this arrangement cannot be met the Evaporative Cooling System will be less
efficient.
