Fill the water tank
Attention: Make sure that the plug is not yet plugged into the socket.
Clean the water tank before using the device, see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance‘. The device requires fresh drinking water for air cooling.

1. Unlock the water tank by turning the two clips from the vertical position to the horizontal position.
2. Pull the water tank halfway out of the appliance.
3. Fill the water tank with a watering can, take into account the maximum water level indicator, see at the front of the device.
4. Place the cooling element in the water tank to achieve an extra cooling effect. Place the cooling element on the right side.
5. Only fill the water tank with fresh drinking water. You can add ice cubes to the water for extra cooling.
   Attention: Only fill the device with fresh drinking water.
   The water temperature may be max. 40°C.
   Attention: Change the water in the water tank every 3 days to prevent bacterial growth.

Use of ice pack
The ice pack has unique cold storage and heat preservation properties, which can slowly ab-sorb the heat in the water, so that the water temperature in the tank is always lower than the ambient temperature for several hours, so that the air blowing out of the air cooler is cooler.

1. Place the ice pack in the vreezer until it is completely frozen;
2. Place the frozen ice pack into the water tank and push the water tank back to its original position. After about ten minutes, the water temperature in the water tank will be lower than the ambient temperature.
3. The device is equipped with 2 ice packs, so continuous use is not a problem.
4. Do not open the lid of the ice pack!

Cleaning and maintenance

You can ensure that your Clean Air Optima® CA-104 Aircooler will provide years of
trouble-free operation by following a few simple maintenance procedures. If your water is hard and contains high concentrations of calcium and other minerals, over time white dust (lime) will start to settle on the various surfaces in the room. A white deposit (lime scale) will also form in the interior of the water tank. Lime deposits will impair the proper functioning of the aircooler and the efficient hygienic function of the unit.

We recommend the following:

1. Clean the water tank once a week if you use the appliance daily with Clean Air Optima® Cleaner & Descaler.
2. As soon as the water tank needs refilling, pour out any remaining water and fill it with fresh water.
3. Clean the entire device and keep all parts completely dry when the device is not in use.

Specially developed for Clean Air Optima® air coolers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers:

• Not aggressive
• Protects plastic and ceramic materials of the air cooler, humidifier and dehumidifier
