GENERAL OPERATION (OHFWULFDO &RQQHFWLRQ PRODUCT MUST BE IN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH COOLING PADS INSTALLED! All models utilize a single power cord and control switches. Before connecting the plug to an outlet, ensure there is no standing water where the cord may lie or where the operator is standing. The use of separate multiple outlet devices is not recommended.

3) If placed near a wall or other obstruction, position the product a minimum of 3 feet (0.9 meters) from the wall or obstruction with pads facing the wall. This allows the unrestricted flow of warm air to the cooling pad side of the product. When using multiple products in close proximity, be sure to aim the product so the air flows complement each other to achieve maximum cooling capacity.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE MAINTENANCE 1) Keep the product clean to ensure peak operating performance. 2) The rugged, corrosion-resistant construction ensures low maintenance will be reTuired. However, in dusty or dirty environments, optional filters are available from your distributor or at www.portacoolparts.com.
