2 Guide to Evaporative Air Coolers The performance of evaporative systems deteriorates as the humidity increases. Consequently, evaporative systems are not suitable for high humid regions. They are generally suitable for areas with dry summers, although their effectiveness will be reduced during the occasional periods of humid weather that these areas can experience. Evaporative air Coolers not only cool but also humidify homes.

If you need to move the cooler, switch off and unplug the cooler, and ensure that the water level is at least only ¾ full or less to reduce the chance of spilling water. • Fill the water tank with fresh clean cold water until the level has reached the Maximum mark on the rear of the Water Tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. • Ice blocks can also be added which will help cool the water / air. Add Ice first and then fill with water. • Do Not Fill with any liquid other than clean cold water.
