COOLER LOCATION (IMPORTANT TO READ)
Place the cooler in front of an open door or window. Ensure that there is
adequate cross ventillation in the room by leaving adoor or window open
opposite from the cooler. Following these rules will ensure your cooler will
work as effectively as possible.
NATURAL ENERGY EFFICIENT COOLING
Evaporative air cooling is the natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze
blowing across a lake. This breeze drops the temperature and has a relaxing
cooling effect. The evaporative air cooler cools the air by means of the
evaporation of water. When water evaporates into the air, the result is a
mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change requires heat which
is taken from the water molecules, resulting in cooler air propelled from the
unit.
USER TIPS
The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or less, which allows a
noticeable temperature decrease. The temperature decrease will be greater in
drier climates because higher evaporation occurs when humidity is low.
The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed spaces. It must be
kept level and there must be water in the water tank. The room should have
doors and windows opened to allow free air flow. The evaporative air cooler
works best when placed near an open window, so that outside air is drawn into
the evaporative air cooler, the air circulates in the room, then exits via the
door. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a person is in the flow of air
coming out of the evaporative air cooler.
The evaporative air cooler can also be used to humidify dry air during cool
weather. To be used for humidification the windows and doors should be closed
to allow the humidified air to accumulate. The evaporative air cooler is not
an air conditioner as it does not use a compressor or refrigerant gas.
When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb cooling media will
have an odour which will dissipate within a week of initial use.
SAFETY RULES
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

fill water inside the tank.
Optionally, you may also fill water or load ice from the water/ice inlet
located on the top besides the control panel. Loading the ice in the ice inlet
compartment, will help to improve the cooling efficieny.
Check Max. Level of water on the Water Level Indicator. Always check water
level in the tank before running the “COOL” function.
Always make sure water in the tank is above the Min. Water level mark.
Running the unit with inadequate water may cause pump failure.
CAUTION Unplug from power when refilling.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
- Before cleaning the unit, switch it to the ”off” position and remove the plug from the power socket.
- To clean the outside, use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- Never use detergents, corrosive elements or any chemicals to clean this product. When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
CLEANING AND DRAINING THE WATER TANK
- Turn the power “off” and disconnect the unit from power supply.
- Move the unit to a location where it can be drained and remove the drainage tube/cap (see parts description on page 7).
- Once the tank is empty, refill with clean water and drain it again.
- This should be repeated weekly to maintain the integrity of the unit and to remove particles filtered from the air.
- Once the tank is clean, refill the water tank. The unit is now ready to be used again.
MAINTAINING & CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB
- The appliance is supplied with Honeycomb cooling media.
- The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb media depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of water is high, mineral deposits may build up on the honeycomb cooling media and restrict air flow. Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the Honeycomb media, the media should be removed and washed under fresh water. The media should be cleaned every two months or sooner, depending on your needs.
- Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. It is recommended to empty the tank and refill it with fresh water if the water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
- For best results, allow the honeycomb cooling media to dry after each use by turning
NOTE: This unit is supplied with three (3) Honeycomb Cooling Media’s located on the back & two sides. The removal procedure for all the media’s is same as explained above.
