10L Evaporative Cooler
READ ME FIRST
Evaporative Cooler
It is important to note that Evaporative Coolers are fans that
pass the room air through a filter that has water pumped over
it in order to create a cooler air flow.
You can add ice to the water to help cool the air more but
there is no refrigeration system in the unit so the water in the
tank will eventually come up to room temperature.
Unlike a portable air conditioner, it will not expel the hot air
from the room so will not dramatically bring the air
temperature in the room down.
Do not place the unit in wardrobes or other enclosed spaces as this may
cause a fire hazard.
It is recommended that this appliance is plugged directly into the wall
socket. Power boards are not rated to supply power to high wattage
appliances.
A correctly specified, undamaged extension cord may be used with this
Evaporative Cooler provided it is used in a safe manner.
Do not dispose of packaging until completely satisfied with your
purchase.
Please refer to your user manual for operating instructions, further
information or trouble shooting before you call the Customer Service
number listed within the user manual.
Please read these instructions & user manual carefully.

For best operating performance, position the appliance in a location that will create a
“flow through” air effect. The greatest cooling effect will be felt if the appliance is
operated in a partly opened doorway or window with the “cool” conditioned air
directed into the room to be cooled.
It is important to also have a door or window partly opened away from the cooler to
create this “flow through” effect.
On days of high humidity, the cooling effect may be reduced as the air entering the
filter may already be saturated with moisture. On days like this it may be better to
switch the cooling feature OFF and operate the appliance as a fan only.

Pour clean cold water into the water filler area on the top of the appliance, observing
the water level indicator in the bottom front panel.
