HOW TO USE

Warning: The fan is fully assembled. DO NOT operate the fan with any of its parts disassembled. The entire assembled unit works as a single appliance. The fan must only operate in the upright position. Any other position will be hazardous.

1. Avoid using the appliance in a closed environment. The appliance should be used in an open and well-ventilated environment.

2. When the appliance operates under the COOL function, the Water Tank must be filled with water. Although the appliance can be used as an ordinary fan without using the COOL function, accidentally operating the appliance under the COOL function with an empty Water Tank may result in possible damage to the appliance. Thus, to be on the safe side, the Water Tank of the appliance should be filled with water prior to operation.

3. When moving the appliance, be aware that water can spill out of the Water Tank. Thus when moving an appreciable distance, it is recommended that all water be drained from the Water Tank prior to the move.
   Emptying the Water Tank

4. The Water Tank should be emptied and re-filled with fresh, clean water frequently.
   DO NOT fill the Water Tank with other liquids. Open the hatch found at the bottom and back of the appliance and pull out the Water Tank. Empty the Water Tank. Put the empty Water Tank halfway back in, put the frozen Ice Packs into the Water Tank and then re-fill it with fresh, clean water using a hose or any clean container until the water level indicator reaches the top of the Water Level scale (above the minimum and below the maximum levels of the tank). Push the Water Tank completely into the appliance and close the hatch. 5. What the Functions Buttons do:

5. What the Functions Buttons do:
   Function|
   ---|---
   COOL| Press the COOL Button on the Control Panel once to enter the COOL mode.
   Press again to exit the COOL mode.
   ON/OFF| Press the 0 (OFF) Button on the Control Panel once to turn the appliance OFF.
   SPEED| Press any of the SPEED Buttons on the Control Panel to turn the appliance ON.

   SWING| Press the SWING Button on the Control Panel once to keep the vertical front grill swinging from side to side continuously.
   Press again to stop the vertical front grill from swinging from side to side.

6. When the COOL mode is activated, the Water Pump in the Water Tank pumps water to saturate the Cooling Pad at the back of the appliance. Air which flows through the Cooling Pads lose heat to the water and exit at a slightly lower temperature. Thus a decrease in temperature occurs; the exact decrease depends on the relative humidity and air temperature. If the button is pressed when the Speed is high, the fan speed will drop to its lowest speed for 30 seconds before resuming normal operations.

PROBLEM SOLVING

The appliance
does not respond when any of the buttons are pressed.| The power cable could be damaged.| Please stop use and contact customer service.
AC fuse could be damaged or the circuit stops functioning to prevent overload.| Replace the fuse or restart the unit. If problems persist, please stop use and contact customer service.
Control Panel could be damaged.| Contact customer service to repair or replace the Control Panel.
No air flows out of the appliance while the appliance is operating.| The motor could be damaged.| Please stop use and contact customer service.
The wiring within the motor or appliance could have loosened.| Please stop use and contact customer service.
Thermal protection inside the motor has been activated as appliance was used for longer than 6 hours.| Please switch the appliance off, unplug from the electric mains and wait for the appliance to cool down completely before attempting to operate the appliance again. If the appliance still does not operate normally, please stop use and contact customer service.
The appliance functions, but the air coming out is not cool enough.| The Cooling Pad is dry or contain an insufficient amount of water due to either insufficient amount of water in the Water Tank or that the Water Pump is not functioning.| Clean the Water Tank and replace the water in the Water Tank. Clean the Water Hose. Remove dirt from the Water Pump’s strainer. Check that the Water Pump is functioning normally. If the Water Pump is not, please stop use and contact customer service.
---|---|---
The Dust Filter or Cooling Pad is clogged with dust or dirt.| Clean or replace the Dust Filters or Cooling Pads.
Excessive high relative
humidity in the room due to environmental factors (of which nothing can be done) or that the appliance has been turned on in its current cycle that the room has been saturated with moisture (saturated vapour pressure of water vapour is at maximum) so much so that the appliance is unable to lower the temperature of the room.| Turn the COOL mode off to avoid releasing more moisture into the room.
Water is spurting out from the air inlet together with air.| Cooling Pad has strayed out of position or that the Water Tank is clogged with debris.| Place the Cooling Pad in the correct position.
Clean the Water Tank and replace the water in the Water Tank. Just in case that debris has entered the system, clean the Water Hose and the Water Pump’s strainer.
White sediments in the Water Tank.| The water in the Water Tank is saturated with salt.| As water is continually removed from the Water Tank, various salts are left behind, which in time become saturated and exceed their Solubility Product values (Ksp).This is normal. Clean the Water Tank and replace the water in the Water Tank. Clean the Water Hose.
---|---|---
Undesirable odour emitted.| The unit is placed in an environment where undesirable odours are prevalent or that algae or mould is growing on the Cooling Pads or in the Water Tank.| Clean the Cooling Pad or Water Tank and replace the water in the Water Tank.
The appliance is overheating. There are sparks coming from the outlet
when the appliance is plugged in.| This could be caused by a blockage of hair, dust or some other obstruction in the Air Inlet.| Power off the dryer and unplug it from the power source. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove any lint or hair present from both the Air Inlet and its cover. If this does not fix the problem, please contact customer service.AC fuse could be damaged or the circuit stops functioning to prevent overload.
