Carefully remove all packaging materials and retain for future storage/use. Make sure there is no residual foam left in any of the components. No tools will be required to assembly this evaporative cooler.
The NEC500WH00 evaporative cooler includes an optional ice pack for added cooling.
1. Place the ice pack in the freezer until frozen. Do not open the ice pack or ingest its contents.
2. Put the ice pack into one of the water tank’s chambers.
3. The ice pack is not necessary for operation, but will help enhance the cooling effect in higher temperatures.
4. The ice pack will last approximately four hours before melting.
The NEC500WH00 is equipped with a remote control. A CR2032 3V coin-type replacement battery is included for your convenience.
To use the remote control, aim it at the unit and select one of the functions on the remote control. The effective distance is approximately 24”.
• ON/SPEED = Power ON and adjusts speed.
• OFF = Power OFF
• TIMER = Timer function of up to 7.5 hours
• SWING = Swinging air louvers
• COOLER/HUMIDIFIER = Controls cooling/humidification function
• MODE = Adjust the airflow mode
After the tank is filled with water, connect the evaporative cooler to a power outlet. The unit will beep twice, indicating that the power source is connected. The cooler will be in standby mode at this time.
1. Press the ON/SPEED button to turn on the evaporative cooler.
2. To adjust the fan speed, press the ON/SPEED button again until your desired speed has been reached. The current fan speed will be indicated on the display panel. To turn the unit off and revert back to standby mode, press the OFF button.
Fan Speed Indicators:
After the desired fan speed has been selected, press the COOLER/HUMIDIFIER button to activate the cooling/humidifying function. This powers the water pump and will cool and add moisture to the air at the same time. The blue cooling icon will also be visible on the display panel.
Please note that if the initial fan speed is set to 3, the unit will revert back to the second speed setting for five minutes. After five minutes, the unit will automatically switch to the third fan speed. This is to allow the cooling pad to be thoroughly absorbed with water, which results in optimized cooling. The cooler will not revert back to other speeds if the initial fan speed was set to either 1 or 2.
MODE BUTTON
The NEC500WH00 has two different automatic airflow modes. Setting the airflow mode is optional.
To set the airflow mode, press the MODE button.
TIMER BUTTON
1. This evaporative cooler is equipped with a 7.5 hour programmable timer. To set the timer, press the TIMER button. Each press of this button will add 0.5 hours to the set time.
2. The set time will be indicated in the middle of the display panel.
SWING BUTTON
To activate the oscillation feature, press the SWING button. The fan head will automatically oscillate counterclockwise, which directs cool air into a cyclone for a more focused cooling effect.
1. If the water level in the tank drops below the minimum level, the unit will produce an audible alert that will last for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the evaporative cooler will automatically turn off.
2. If the water tank is removed while the unit is on, it will automatically turn off.
Regular cleaning and maintenance is an essential step in maintaining the longevity of your evaporative cooler and ensuring that it operates free of defects. Maintain your evaporative cooler by following these steps:
1. Always unplug the evaporative cooler from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
2. Use a soft cloth and a mild soap and warm water solution to clean the unit’s exterior. Do not use harsh cleaners, gasoline, paint thinner, benzene, etc., as these substances can damage the evaporative cooler.
3. Thoroughly dry all of the cooler’s parts with a soft cloth before reconnecting the unit to the power supply.
4. Empty the water tank after the evaporative cooler has been in use. Regular, scheduled cleaning of the water tank before each use is also recommended.
5. If the evaporative cooler will not be in use for an extended period of time, place the unit back in its original carton and keep it stored in a clean, dry place.
6. The evaporative cooler’s filter, tank and cooling pad will need to be removed prior to cleaning. Once all of the different components have been cleaned, place them back into the unit in this order: water tank, cooling pad and dust filter.
To prevent clogging of the dust filter, we recommend cleaning the filter at least once a month.
1. Unplug the evaporative cooler from the power supply and empty the water tank after the evaporative cooler has been in use. Regular, scheduled cleaning of the water tank before each use is also recommended.
2. To clean the water tank, rinse it in a warm water and light detergent solution or a water and vinegar solution. Rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly before placing it back into the cooler.

We recommend you clean your ice maker thoroughly before using it. Please see Cleaning & Maintenance on page 6 of this guide.
To remove the build-up of calcium or other impurities, add a capful of vinegar or lemon juice to the water in the reservoir and run for two or three ice-making cycles. Drain and refill the reservoir with clean, warm water. Run two more cycles to rinse the vinegar or lemon-juice.
When the machine is not in use, open the water drain cap to completely drain the water reservoir.
Before storing your ice maker, clean it according to the directions above and allow it to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours) in order to prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
Store your ice maker in the original packaging, or cover with a soft cloth or plastic sheet.
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
The “ADD WATER” indicator light is on. | There is not enough water in the tank. | Press the “POWER” button to turn off the unit. Fill the reservoir with water. Press “POWER” to restart. |
The “ICE” indicator light is on. | The ice basket is full. | Remove ice from the basket |
The “ADD WATER” and “ICE” lights are both flashing. | The ice shovel may be incorrectly positioned. | Make sure the ice shovel is properly positioned. |
Ice may be blocking the sensor. | Remove any ice that may be blocking the sensor. | |
The ice making cycle appears to be normal but no ice is being produced. | The refrigerant may be leaking. | Consult a qualified technician |
A pipe in the cooling system may be blocked. | Consult a qualified technician. | |
The ice cubes are too small. | The ambient temperature or water temperature may be too high. | Select large sized ice cubes by pressing the “SELECT” button. |
The compressor may need to warm up. | If this is the first time the unit is being used, allow the ice maker to cycle a few times. This should result in larger cubes. | |
The ice has a “plastic” taste. | The unit’s interior may need to be cleaned. | Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a full tank of water and allow the ice maker to cycle a few times. |
The unit produces a large block of ice instead of cubes. | The ambient temperature may be too low. | Unplug the unit and let the ice thaw out. Allow the ice maker to defrost for a few hours and restart the unit |
The ice cubes have a cloudy appearance. | There may be trace minerals in your water or ice is being produced too quickly. | Ice cubes may develop cloudiness when water is frozen quickly. As ice develops on the surface of water, certain gases can no longer remain dissolved and begin to surface as microscopic bubbles. This cloudiness is normal. |
