INSTALLATION
- After unpacking, check that all parts of the appliance are present; if in doubt, do not use and contact a qualified technician. The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, metal staples, etc.) must not be left within reach of children, as they constitute possible sources of danger and must be disposed of according to applicable regulations in recycling containers. Warning: any stickers or advertising leaflets applied must be removed before using the appliance.
- Assemble the 4 wheels onto the base, turning to tighten into the respective holes: lock by pushing the lever down. Check that all 4 wheels touch the floor.
- Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage on the data plate matches that of the electric system. In the event of incompatibility between the power socket and the appliance’s plug, have the plug replaced with a suitable model by a qualified professional, who should ensure that the cable is appropriate for the power rating of the device. The use of adaptors or extensions is generally not advisable; if it is necessary to use them, they must comply with safety regulations and the total current (amps) must not be rated lower than the maximum current of the appliance.
- Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and that the power cord is not damaged: if in doubt consult a qualified professional.
- The plug point must be accessible so as to easily remove the plug in case of an emergency.
- Stand the appliance on a flat, horizontal and stable surface, and keep it away from:
- heat sources (e.g. open flames, gas stoves, etc.)
- liquids (e.g. from bathtubs, showers, sinks etc.) to avoid splashing water and to prevent it from falling into them (the appliance should be kept a minimum of 2 metres away).
- fabrics (curtains, etc.) or floating materials/particles that may block the aspiration grid; check also that the front part is free from floating particles (dust, etc.).
- This device is NOT suitable to use it in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapor, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air).
- If there is a fault or the appliance is not working correctly, switch it off and have it checked by a qualified professional. Repairs done by an unqualified person can be dangerous and cause the guarantee to become void.
- The appliance comes with the following parts:
- Water tank (10) Is at the back. It slides out like a drawer and it is locked into place with a lever (9). Add demineralised water that is limescale and additive free (no essences, detergents or other). Do not exceed the max. level marking (approx. 6,50L: running time of approx. 8-9 hours) or fill to below the min. level (approx. 1 litre). The 2 ice bricks provided can be added to cool the air down further after having been frozen in a freezer for at least 10 hours.
- Front grille: the horizontal flaps (3) can be adjusted up or down manually. The vertical flaps (4), automatically swivel right and left by pressing the button on the control panel.
- Filters. These are found at the back of the appliance, secured with a frame containing one screw (5): the external pre-filter (8) traps dust, fluff, etc., while the internal filter, made of honeycomb cellulose, is sprayed with water and thereby cools the air that passes through it.
The fan functions are operated with both the keypad of the control panel and the remote control which must be pointed at the front (maximum distance of about 4m) towards the control panel; for the first use add from the battery (N.1 battery type: CR2025/3 Volts, not included inside the box).
Do not allow children to replace battery.
- “ ” button : cools the air and evaporates micro-particles of H²O it is filled with: this function is most effective in drier air, and is less effective as relative humidity increases (RH). The button starts and stops the water pump. The function only takes place in the presence of water in the tank, within the min-max values; when the water is below the min level switch off the cooler function. It is started by pressing it “ ”.
- Ventilation: the three speeds are selected by pressing the “SPEED OR button: the symbol corresponding to the selected speed will light up: (LOW= min; MID= med; HIGH= max).
- SWING/ ” button, see above.
- Mode : the three modes are selected by pressing the “MODE” o “ ”: button:
- Normal : constant ventilation “ ”.
- Natural : intermittent ventilation (symbol “ “), like the picture shown here.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important : before performing routine cleaning, remove the plug from the mains.
- Regularly check that the filters are clean and that the water in the tank does not contain deposits or substances to ensure that the functions are as effective as possible.
- To clean the filters, loosen a screw on top, remove the frame and clean the dirt with a vacuum cleaner or a brush, making sure that the surfaces are not damaged, and rinse with running water. Allow to drip dry completely, place it back in position and tighten the screws.
- To clean the tank use a soft cloth to remove any deposits on the surface, taking care not to damage the pump and other parts.
- To clean the body, use a soft cloth dampened with water and, if necessary, use also a mild everyday detergent.
- Do not use abrasive or corrosive products.
- Do not immerse any electrical parts in water or another liquid. In the event this occurs, dry carefully and check that the electric parts are perfectly dry and, only thereafter, plug the appliance into the mains. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
- If the appliance is not used for long periods of time, you should store it away from dust and moisture; we recommend using the original packaging.
- If you decide to no longer use the device, it is recommended that it is made inoperative by cutting the power cable (first ensure that the appliance has been unplugged from the power supply), and ensure that any parts that could be a hazard to playing children are put away (e.g. the ice bricks).
