BASIC PRINCIPLES OF WORK

evapolar EV 1500 Personal Air Cooler - 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. To turn the device on, press and hold the round screen on the top. Press once again 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.evapolar EV 1500 Personal Air Cooler - Figure

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.
