BONAIRE WINDOW COOLER Maintenance GENERAL Filter Pads Visually check CELdek® pads for damage or blockage. Gently hose down pads from both sides to remove any build up of salts, dust and pollen. In dusty areas more regular cleaning is recommended. Check the water distributor, making sure it is clear and free from blockage. Failure to do so may lead to uneven water distribution and therefore less efficient operation.
BONAIRE WINDOW COOLER Maintenance Bleed Off The bleed off should be checked to ensure it runs continuously and that there is no build up of mineral deposits in or on your air conditioner. White deposits indicate high mineral content and the bleed off system should be checked. Should the bleed nozzle become blocked, use a fine pin or similar to clear. If the bleed is running as per normal, the bleed nozzle is clean and the deposits are still forming, then more bleed may be required.
