BASIC PRINCIPLES OF WORK

To enjoy a nice cool breeze on a hot day, you need:

1. Well-ventilated room
2. Relative humidity <70%
3. 1000 ml (33.8 oz) of pure water
4. Power supply 2A 5V

TO START THE DEVICE FOLLOW THE STEPS

Ensure the device is placed on the flat horizontal surface first.

FILLING WITH WATER

1. Slide the water reservoir up.
   (DO NOT hold the water tank by its removable cover to avoid it detaching and falling down!)

2. Open the lid and fill the reservoir with water.

3. Place the reservoir back onto the base. Make sure it is installed properly. The water will start flowing automatically. Depending on the air temperature and humidity, the full reservoir should provide from 3 to 8 hours of uninterrupted cooling.
   TIP: To extend the time period before the next refill, you need to fill up the reservoir, wait until the cartridge is full of water (max.10 minutes) and then refill the reservoir once again.
   OPERATING

4. Use a laptop or PC/power bank/adaptor plugged into the socket as a power source. 2A 5V is a minimum requirement.

5. The device will switch on. Push the screen on top of the device to enter the menu.

6. Use the screen and control wheel to navigate through the menu and adjust the airflow and other features.

7. Move the front grills to adjust the airflow direction.

The temperature of the outgoing air will start to decrease in a few minutes.

TIP: If you would like to feel a light pleasant aroma in your room, we have come up with an aroma clip especially for you.

TIP: If for any reason you are unable to connect your device to a direct power source (eg, while camping), you can use a power bank.

REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE

1. Disconnect the device from the power source.
2. Remove the reservoir by sliding it up.
3. Use both hands to lift the upper part of the body. Push on both sides of its base to release the locks and then slide it upwards.
4. Unlock and move the control unit upward and to the side.
5. Take out the old cartridge by lifting it up.
6. Place a new cartridge in place of the old one.
7. Put the device back together. Make sure the control unit is locked in its place and the housing top fits in the slots.
8. The device is ready to use.
   Depending on usage and storage, the cartridge can last up to 3-6 months. Poor water quality reduces the lifespan of the cartridge.

WARNING!
When choosing a new cartridge for your evaLIGHT plus, be careful: you need a cartridge forev-1500 model; the cartridge for ev-1000 (evaLIGHT, the old model) is incompatible with your device.

MAINTENANCE: CLEANING, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION

We strongly recommend drying the device totally before cleaning, storage, and long-distance transportation. To do this, you need to empty the water tank and set the device to run on the maximum fan speed for at least 4-5 hours to dry the water out from the internal reservoir section.

CLEANING
The cleaning period depends on the level of dust in the area you use your air cooler in.
The front grill and the internal area can be wiped with a soft cloth. A cleaning procedure can be carried out, when

• The device is totally dry
• The device is unplugged
• The cartridge is extracted
• Do not wipe the inside of the cartridge, just its outer plastic body.

STORAGE DURING LONG PERIODS OF NO USAGE
If you’re not intending to use the device for more than 5 days, we strongly recommend the following:

• Dry the device and clean it (as described above).
• Place the device into an appropriately sized package for storage (original package is recommended). Store the device in a dry space at room temperature.

TRANSPORTATION
Before any kind of transportation, the device should be disconnected from the power source.
Do not transport the device long distances with a wet cartridge; please see “Storage during long periods of no usage” section. For shorter distances, make sure that the device with a wet cartridge is not isolated in a box or bag with no airflow.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• PROBLEM: Cold air does not come out of the device despite the fact the cartridge is wet
• POSSIBLE CAUSE 1: Humidity level over 70%
• SOLUTION: Ventilate the room
• POSSIBLE CAUSE 2: The cartridge has expired
• SOLUTION: Replace the cartridge
• PROBLEM: Cold air does not come out of the device and the cart-ridge seems to be dry despite the fact the water tank is full SOLUTION: Since there can be different reasons for that, please, contact our support team
• PROBLEM: The airflow strength indicator (dashed ring on the screen) blinks, the airflow rate decreases
• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The device does not receive enough power SOLUTION: Ensure the power source for your evaLIGHTplus meets the 2A 5V requirement. Please, contact our support team if that didn’t help
