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. 800 ml (27oz) of pure water
4. Power supply 2A 5V

TO START THE DEVICE FOLLOW THE STEPS

FILLING WITH WATER

1. Disconnect the cord, protect the USB-port with the silicone plug.

2. Slide the handle backward and lift it up. The water reservoir opening is located under the handle. Push down the locker and open the upper cover. You will find a funnel inside.

3. Fill the reservoir with pure water (filtered water is strongly re- commended). Use the funnel for safer filling.

4. In order to avoid leakage, hold the device horizontally, by the handle and move it slowly.

5. Place the device on the flat horizontal surface, put the handle down, and slide it back to its original position.
   OPERATING

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

7. Use the power cord to connect the device to the power source.
   You will see the three LED lights blinking one by one.

8. Push the control button on top of the device to start the fan and adjust the airflow speed.
   • Short press: turn the device on/off, adjust the airflow speed.
   • LED lights: left – 1st speed, middle – 2nd speed, right – 3rd speed. All the LED lights on – extra speed.
   • Long pressing (pressing and holding) at any time: lighting on/off.

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

The temperature of the outgoing air will start decreasing in a few minutes. Enjoy your personal microclimate!
Depending on air temperature and humidity, the full reservoir should provide from 3 to 8 hours of uninterrupted cooling.
TIP: To extend the 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.
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 a power source.
2. Slide the handle backwards, remove the cover and take out the funnel.
3. Take out the old cartridge by moving it upwards, place a new cartridge in place of the old one. Check the orientation and keep pushing until the cartridge is in the center of the device.
4. Place the upper cover of the body back so that it fits in the slots, slide the handle back to its original position.
5. The device is ready to use.
   • Depending on usage and storage, the cartridge can last 3-6 months.
   • Poor water quality reduces the lifespan of the cartridge.

MAINTENANCE: CLEANING, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION

We strongly recommend drying the device totally before cleaning, storage and long distance transportation.
To do this, you need to 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
