•  NOTE:  If installing unit without the use of the installation kit, 

•  Remove two corner screws in the bottom pan (A-Fig 1).
• Place the house leg bracket in the 

corner of the bottom pan, using the 
two top holes in the bracket (B-Fig 1).  
Replace the two previously removed 
screws to hold the house leg bracket 
in place (As shown by dotted house 
leg bracket).

• Refer to the instructions “Adjust 

house legs” below for adjusting the 
house legs.

•  Lift out all removable louvered sides.

•  Screw chain hooks into window facing.  Position the two chain 

hooks above the neck of 
the cooler a distance equal 
to the width of the cooler 
apart (A-Fig. 2).  Hook 
one hanger chain in each 
hook and then one “S” 
hook in the other end of 
each chain.  

 The chain hooks 

supplied with this mount-
ing kit are for use in wood.  
Additional anchors can be 
purchased at your local 
hardware store for an-
choring in other types of 
materials such as concrete 
or brick.

•  Pump setting.  The rotary switch has 6 settings.  The “Pump” 

setting will operate the pump without the blower.  For best results 
turn the switch to “Pump” for a few minutes to wet the pads before 
operating the fan.

•  High and low cool settings.  The “High Cool” and “Low Cool” set-

tings operate both the pump and the blower.  Turn the unit to “Low 
Cool” when possible.  This lower speed allows the air to stay longer 
in the wet pads and therefore increases it’s cooling effi ciency.

•  High and low vent settings.  The “High Vent” and “Low Vent” 

settings operate the blower without the pump.  This is useful on 
cool nights or at times when just a fan is desired.  

These units may be controlled using the 3 buttons on the front panel 
of the cooler or with the remote control.

• PUMP button.  Pressing this button toggles the pump on and off.  

When the LED is lit, the pump is running.  For best results turn 
on the pump for a few minutes to wet the pads before operating 
the fan.  The pump must be on while operating the fan for cooling.  
You may also want the pump turned off at times when just a fan is 
desired.

• FAN button.  Pressing this button will cycle the fan through High 

Speed / Low Speed / Off.  The LED’s on the front of the control 
indicate wether the fan is on high speed, low speed or off (no LED’s 
lit).  Note:  There will be a 2 second delay between a button press 
and the operation of the fan.

• ON/OFF button.  Pressing this button while the pump or fan is on 

will turn everything off.  Pressing it again while in the off state will 
return the fan and pump to their previous operating settings.  When 
fi rst plugging in the cooler or after power has been interrupted, 
pressing the On/Off button will start the cooler in the default state 
which is with the pump on and the fan on high.

• Remote Control.  To operate the cooler with the remote you must 

be within 20 feet and in sight of the cooler.  Aim the remote at the 
front panel.  The buttons on the remote control have the same func-
tions as the buttons on the front panel of the cooler.  The remote 
uses two AAA alkaline batteries which are included.  A holder for 
mounting on a wall is also included with the unit.  

IF 

It falls down.

THEN 

CLOSE all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.

IF 

It plasters itself to the screen.

THEN 

OPEN all of the windows one inch and try step 4 again.

IF 

It stays on the screen lightly.

THEN 

PERFECT.  You are done.  Enjoy your cooler.

• When switching to Low Cool, you must rebalance your home.  

Repeat step 4.

•  Once you balance your home you can cool some areas more than 

others by opening those windows more and closing the others by 
the same amount.  Repeat step 4 to make sure your home is still air 
balanced.

An often misunderstood concept of evaporative cooling is the amount 
of air that should be exhausted.  How much should you open your 
windows?  The fact is that most people do not open their windows 
enough.  The following method will help you determine the amount 
to open your windows.

1.  Take a piece of tissue paper and cut it lengthwise into 3 equal 

strips.

2.  Turn your cooler on High Cool.
3.  Open one window at least six inches wide in each room that you 

want to cool.

4.  Take the piece of tissue paper and put it up against the screen of 

the open window furthest from the cooler discharge opening.  Let 
go of it.  It will do one of three things.
