At Seeley International we manufacture
evaporative coolers from the highest quality
materials, and we have designed the product
to provide many years of economical, trouble-
free cooling.
Please take a few moments to read these
operating instructions, so that the most can
be gained from this investment. Keep these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.
Your installer should demonstrate the features
and procedures set out in these instructions.
The installer should also provide you with a
Model and Serial number, which can be lled
out on the last page.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance.
Important Notes!
In areas where temperatures can cause water
supply pipes to freeze, a drain down facility
should be provided during the installation. This
drain down facility must be activated prior to
freezing conditions, to avoid possible damage
to the cooler components.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a Seeley service agent or similarly
qualied person in order to avoid hazard.
New hose sets supplied with the appliance
are to be used. Old hose sets (from previous
installations) should not be re-used.
EFFECTIVE COOLING
To provide efcient cooling or ventilation the
building must have sufcient exhaust openings
to outdoors in the form of doors, windows or
other vents. To assist air circulation, open
windows or doors that are furthest from the
outlet vent in each room. In every room that
has an outlet vent, provide an exhaust opening
about 2 or 2.5 times the vent size of the room.
Where the design of the building prevents
adequate exhaust, consideration should be
given to the provision of mechanical extraction
such as an exhaust fan.
Total minimum openings for the whole building

WALL CONTROL FUNCTIONS
STARTING YOUR COOLER
The button turns the air cooler on and
off.
There are two modes of operation to choose
from, Automatic mode or Manual mode. When
the air cooler is turned on, it will start in the
mode of operation it was in when last turned
off.
If your air cooler has not been operated for a
while, then when you start it, “Pre Cool Cycle”
may sometimes ash on the display as shown.
This indicates that the water pump will operate
to saturate the cooling pads for a few minutes
before the fan is turned on. This is to ensure
that when the fan starts, only cool air enters
the building.

AUTOMATIC MODE
The button is used to select Automatic
mode or Manual mode. When “Auto” is
displayed the cooler is under Automatic control
and will operate according to the temperature
sensed at the wall control.
When the air cooler is turned on, it will read
the temperature and set the cooler operation
accordingly. If the temperature increases at the
wall control, then the fan speed will increase.
As the temperature decreases the fan speed
will decrease until the cooler turns off.
Press or to override the
automatic cooling level setting and adjust your
room temperature.
MANUAL MODE
To switch to Manual mode, press until
“Man” appears in the display. In Manual mode
the cooling level can be manually adjusted.
In Manual mode, press to choose
between circulating cool air or un-cooled air.
When “Cool” is displayed, fresh cool air will
circulate into the building. When “Vent” is
displayed as shown, fresh un-cooled air will
circulate through the building.
Press to increase the fan speed and
circulate more air. Press to decrease the
fan speed and circulate less air. Press once to
change the speed by one increment. Hold the

USING THE COOLER
Now that you have read these instructions,
press the button to turn your air cooler
on. If the air cooler has not operated for a
while, “Pre Cool Cycle” will ash on the display.
The “Pre Cool Cycle will begin and will take
only a few minutes to complete. After this time,
the fan will come on automatically, and you can
enjoy the comfort of cool fresh air!
AIR TOO COLD
With the cooler running in Automatic mode,
you may nd that you are too cold or that the
air cooler is blowing too much air. Press
to lower the automatic temperature setting and
reduce the amount of cooling.
If you are too cold with the cooler running in
Manual mode, then press to reduce
the fan speed. You can also circulate fresh
un-cooled air by pressing COOL until “Vent”
displays.
AIR NOT COLD ENOUGH
You may nd that with the air cooler running
in Automatic mode, you are not cool enough.
Simply press to increase the cooling
rate.
If you are not cool enough with the air cooler
running in Manual mode, then press to
increase the fan speed. Ensure that cooled air
is circulating by pressing until “Cool”
displays.
You can experiment with the settings on your
wall control. This is the best way to get the
most from your air cooler.
DRAIN VALVE & BLEED
SYSTEM
This cooler comes with a continuous bleed
system (Coolair CPL, Coolair CPS, Braemar
BM) or automatic Drain Valve (standard for
Braemar LCB, optional for CPL, CPS and BM).
CONTINUOUS BLEED SYSTEM
During operation, the bleed system will
drain small amounts of water. This ensures
fresh water is continually added to dilute salt
accumulation in the water caused through
evaporation. This helps keep the air cooler
in good condition and ensure optimum
performance. The bleed rate will depend on
local operating conditions and will be set by the
installer.
AUTOMATIC DRAIN VALVE
If the drain valve was installed instead of the
continuous bleed system then your cooler will
automatically drain periodically. This ensures
the water is always fresh and helps maintain
your cooler in good condition to ensure
optimum cooling performance. The frequency
of the automatic drain may have been adjusted
by your installer according to the general water
quality in your area.
When the cooler is turned off for 72 hours,
the drain valve will open automatically and
empty water from the cooler. When the cooler
is turned on again, fan operation will delay for
a few minutes while the tank rells and the
cooling pads are saturated again.
At any time when the thermostat is OFF, you
can drain the cooler by pressing and holding
and for 1 second. The display
will show “dr” to conrm the operation has
activated.

Maintenance Schedule servicing is essential
to ensure the cooler operates efciently for
many years. Seasonal Maintenance is only
required if you have a cooler tted with a
bleed system. The following pages outline the
suitable maintenance requirements to ensure
that your cooler continues to operate efciently.
If your cooler is tted with a drain valve, no
Seasonal Maintenance is required. However,
we require that the following components and
the operation thereof, be checked after the
rst year, then every 2 years as Maintenance
Schedule servicing.
• Pump.
• Drain valve.
• Solenoid and associated lter / ttings.
• Fan motor operation.
• Float valve.
• Salinity probes.
Routine maintenance may be required
more frequently in adverse environmental
situations or where the appliance is
installed in non-domestic applications.
Seasonal Maintenance services must be
performed before and after the summer
season. Maintenance Schedule servicing
should be performed before the summer
season. It is important to note that all
evaporative coolers have components that
may need periodic replacement (eg. lter pads,
hoses, o-rings etc).
WARNING! As your cooler is mounted on the
roof, we suggest that any maintenance or
checks be carried out by an authorised Seeley
International dealer or service agent. Climbing
onto the roof can be hazardous and could
result in injury to you and damage to your
property.
NOTE: Failure to carry out the Maintenance
Schedule services will affect your warranty
coverage. Refer to the checklist on Page 11.
