FAQs
Does this unit require a window vent?
No, unlike a portable air conditioner, this evaporative cooler does not require a vent or hose, as it works by cooling through water evaporation.
Can I use this in a very humid room?
Evaporative coolers work best in dry, arid climates. In high humidity, the water does not evaporate as effectively, which reduces the cooling performance.
How long does the 4-litre tank last?
The runtime depends on the fan speed and humidity levels, but generally, it will last for several hours of continuous use before requiring a refill.
Is the filter washable?
Yes, you can gently rinse the filter with cool water to remove dust. Ensure it is completely dry before re-inserting it into the unit.
Can I operate the unit without water?
Yes, the unit can be used as a standard fan without filling the water tank if you only want air circulation without the cooling effect.
Troubleshooting
The unit is not blowing cold air.
Ensure the water tank is filled with cold water and that the frozen ice packs have been properly inserted into the tank.
Remote control is not responding.
Check if the batteries in the remote are fresh and ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the unit's receiver.
Water is leaking from the unit.
Ensure the water tank is seated correctly in its compartment and check that the tank is not overfilled beyond the maximum line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Taylor & Brown cooler is straightforward: unlock the castor wheels to move the unit to your desired flat surface, then fill the 4-litre tank with cold water (and the ice packs if desired). Ensure the filter is correctly seated before plugging the device into a standard wall outlet. For care and maintenance, it is essential to drain the water tank regularly to prevent stagnation, especially if the unit will not be used for several days. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the plastic housing. Clean the internal filter periodically by rinsing it with water to ensure optimal airflow and to prevent dust buildup.
