OPERATION Turning ON/OFF Press the power ON button to turn on and OFF button to turn off the evaporative cooler. Setting Fan SPEED Press the speed button to set fan speed. Press the button repeatedly to change the fan speed Low, Medium and High Setting the Mode Change the mode to the desired type (Normal, Breeze and Circulate) by pressing the mode switch repeatedly. Modes Explained 1. Normal mode The fan speed remains constant at set speed (Low or Medium or High). This mode is recommended normal operation. 2. Breeze mode The fan speed varies randomly (Low, Medium, High and off) giving the effect of natural breeze. It is recommended to set the fan speed at high under this mode for better result. 3. Circulate (sleep) mode The fan speed switches on and off at set speeds thus saving energy during night. It is recommended to set the fan speed at low under this mode for quieter performance and less energy consumption. Cool Function Cool switch is used to operate the automated water pump system. This function is recommended for higher/ efficient cooling effect under any mode. Oscillate Function (Regulating air flow direction) Oscillate function switch is used to direct the air flow automatically from horizontally (side to side) by means of the vertical louvers. This can be done while the unit is in operation. To control the air flow direction via the horizontal louvers adjust louvers manually (louvers interlocked). Setting Timer Set the Timer to the desired operating time (0.5 Hour to 7.5 Hours) by pressing the Timer switch repeatedly. When the set time has been reached the unit will shut off automatically. * Please make sure sufficient water is in the storage tank before operation.

Place chiller bottle into the side water entrance. If desired a length of string can be attached to bottle cap hook provided for easier retrieval. Place bottle in water entrance door and leave string end out when closing the door. Ice Tray For even more effective cooling, fill the ice tray, located at the top of the cooler with cube ice. Fig 1.
