Water tank
Please consider emptying water accumulated at the bottom of the water tank

Refill water or clean the water tank
Stop the fan and disconnect from power, wait at least 2 minutes before opening the water tank. Some water will still be left in the pipes and will flow back to the tank. There are two ways to refill water. Either you can (1.) pull the water tank halfway out and refill directly, or you can (2.) separate the water tank completely by rotating the plastic thumb screw in the bottom of the water tank, and thus removing the water pump.
-
Use the small plastic handle to loosen the water tank.
-
Pull the water tank halfway out. You can refill with water now if you want and skip to step 6.
When filling with water, check that water is lower then “max” and higher than “min”. To remove the water tank completely, please continue with step 3. -
Rotate the plastic thumb screw in the bottom of the water tank. Separate and lift the water pump module.
-
Pull out the water tank. Either clean the water tank or fill the water tank with water. When filling with water, check that water is lower then “max” and higher than “min”.
-
Place the water tank close to the product or halfway inside, so you can reach and install the water pump. Place the water pump in the bottom. Make sure the plastic piece goes underneath the plastic hook, so it stays in place. Rotate the plastic thumb screw 90°. Make sure that the water pump is fixed in position before starting up again. Displacement of the water pump can cause functional deviations to the fan or airflow.
-
Push in the water tank slowly to not spill water. Use the small plastic handle to lock the water tank.
