I picked up a great retro aircon today - more because i think it looks great and suits the needs that i want it for.
But i have never had an evaporative cooler. I am thinking that it needs water, and I cannot find where it goes in.
I have tried to find an online user guide but i cannot find one.
Any assistance is appreciated, and please keep it simple -im not very technically minded
I will upload the original sale pic i found online to jog some memories :)

Thanks

Im pretty sure there was a little plastic hopper clipped on to the louvers on the end. You poured water in it to fill the machine. There should be a water level indicator on the machine. The hose in the video goes to the tray on top of the filter that he had removed. It is 30yrs since I used one of these.bonaire.jpg
