Introduction

BONAIRE PORTABLE COOLER

Your portable evaporative air conditioner is engineered to meet the rigors of harsh environments. Used

and maintained in accordance with this manual, it will provide you with years of quiet, cool and

environmentally friendly operation. Please take the time to read this manual.

The principal of your unit is to introduce fresh air, which is washed through the filter pads to provide cool

Water Connection / Tank Filling

This unit is compatible with a standard garden hose connection.

Use standard ¾” connection to connect water to the unit.

The overflow is factory fitted. If unit is inside then bleed hose

should be kept inside the tank and regular draining of the tank

will be required. If unit is outside then bleed hose should place

through the overflow fitting SHOULD bleed water during normal

operation at a rate between 6 –12 Litres per hour (1.5 –3

gallons per hour). This is normal and is designed to preserve

the quality of the Cooler and Cooling efficiency of the Unit.

The float valve is factory set and should require no further

adjustment at time of installation.

As an alternative to hose connection, the tank can be manually

filled through the ice door of the front of the unit. The water level

should be set its maximum limit as shown on overflow.

Note: Water supply line to float valve must be flushed before connecting.

Startup Checklist

Position the cooler as required and lock all of the wheels.

Check that another door or window in the room is open to allow air to exhaust to other parts of the

house.

Turn the water supply to the cooler on if hose connected or fill the tank with water.

Plug the cooler into a 110V 60Hz single phase grounded appliance socket and switch the socket

on.

Turn the unit on to FAN mode and check the operation of the three speeds fan.

Rotate the control knob to COOL mode and operate the three speed fan and pump.

Leaving the unit in the COOL mode, check that a constant small stream of bleed off water is

coming from the overflow tube if unit is outside. This bleed off is designed to reduce mineral build

up on the Filtercool filter pads.

You may notice a wet paper smell as the water circulates around the filter pads. This is normal

during the commissioning phase and at the beginning of each season when the unit is operated

after the winter break. It will only last for a short time.
