SAFETY INFORMATION OPERATION WARNINGS 1) Not intended for use by children. 2) Not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities. 3) Not intended for use by persons with lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given instruction and are supervised during operation. 4) Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
GENERAL OPERATION Electrical Connection 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. When making electrical connections, ensure compliance to local and national codes. Use only with GFCI Protected Receptacles.
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 required. Daily Maintenance The pump should be turned off approximately 15 minutes before the fan is turned off. This will allow the cooling pads to dry out and extend their life. This also helps control the growth of mildew, mold, bacteria, and other odor-causing elements.
TROUBLESHOOTING The Portacool evaporative cooler consists of three systems — the fan system, the electrical system, and the water system. It is important to determine with which of the systems the problem is associated. Certain problems may be associated with more than one system. A careful check of all systems should be made to fully understand the extent of the problem.
