HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
The device does not require installation.
Place the unit on a flat and stable surface and connect the power cable to an
appropriate power socket (220-240V ~): the appliance can be started by
pressing the POWER button the unit starts operating in ventilation mode and
all LEDs on the control panel light up: the unit emits an audible signal, the
red LED located above the POWER button is always on during operation.
Given the small size of the product, to transfer it from one room to another,
it is advisable to push it gently by taking it on the sides with both hands.
Do not use this cooler in an area with high humidity, rich in dust or with a
temperature above 40° C.
This product can be used, with 3 modes (Normal, Natural, and Sleep) and 3
possible ventilation speeds (low, medium, high), both as a fan and as a cooler
/ humidifier: in this case, the rear tank must be filled with demineralized
water, without exceeding the maximum limit indicated on the front of the
appliance through a transparent window. When the water in the tank drops
below the minimum limit, marked on the tank, the COOL LED flashes, then the
appliance stops cooling mode and continues to operate in ventilation mode.
The fan sucks air from the environment and passes it through the anti-dust
filter and the evaporative panel, which is kept constantly humidified thanks
to a system that draws water from the tank and sprays it on the panel. The
incoming hot air evaporates part of the water which is soaked in the panel and
is returned to a cooler environment, producing a decrease in the perceived
temperature.
At the end of use, always empty the internal tank, simply by removing the cap
from the lower hole and placing a basin underneath to collect the residual
water.

Please replace the battery when its electrical charge has been exhausted: at
the end of its useful life, it must not be disposed of together with unsorted
waste. It must be must be delivered to appropriate separated waste disposal
plants or to dealers that provide a similar service. Separate waste disposal
of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human
health resulting from inadequate disposal, and also allows the materials from
which it is made to be recovered and recycled in order to achieve significant
savings in terms of energy and resources. The separate disposal obligation is
underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on the battery. Illegal

FILLING AND EMPTYING THE WATER TANK
THE TANK MUST BE FILLED WITH DEMINERALIZED WATER FOR THE APPLIANCE TO
OPERATE IN COOLER/HUMIDIFIER MODE.
Before connecting the power cord to the power outlet, add demineralized water
directly to the water tank, which is located inside the appliance, by opening
the hook of the filter assembly located at the rear of the appliance. Fill
the tank up to the maximum limit indicated, it will be possible to view the
water level through a transparent window, located on the front panel of the
unit.
If you want to keep the temperature of the water in the tank below the ambient
temperature for a long time, in order to favor cooling in the hottest season,
add a tablet of synthetic ice supplied to the water in the tank, after having
left it in the freezer for the time necessary for its complete consolidation.
Ice absorbs heat from water.
Continuous use of ice is recommended to optimize the cooling capacity.
It is possible that the first time you use it, you will notice a perfume or
the water takes on a particular color: there are no health risks.
After turning off the unit, if it is not expected to be used soon, proceed
with the elimination of the water remaining in the internal tank.
With the power disconnected, place a container under the lower hole, remove
the cap that closes it and drain the remaining water.
