Operating your Fan
Always choose a safe location for the appliance, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the appliance
before use. This
the appliance requires no installation, it should be used solely as a portable
appliance.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 meter from the front, sides and rear
of the appliance.
For best operating performance position the appliance in a location that will
create a “flow-through” air effect. The greatest cooling effect will be felt
if the appliance is operated in a partly opened doorway or window with the
“cool” conditioned air directed into the room to be cooled.
It is important to also have a door or window partly opened away from the
cooler to create this “flow-through” effect.
On days of high humidity, the cooling effect may be reduced as the air
entering the filter may already be saturated with moisture. On days like this
it may be better to switch the cooling feature OFF and operate the appliance
as a fan only.
Filling water tank
Ensure that the cap on the water drainage outlet of the appliance is tight.
Pour clean cold water into the water filler area on the top of the appliance,
observing the water level indicator in the bottom front panel.
CAUTION: do not spill or allow water to come in contact with the control
panel.
Do not overfill past the MAX water indicator mark. If desired, place ice in
the ice tank in the top of the appliance.
Do not pour water into the ice tank.
Do not allow the combined use of water and ice to overfill the water
reservoir.
When moving the appliance, do so with extreme caution, so as not to spill any
water in the reservoir. The appliance should be moved slowly and in a sideways
direction.
Always keep the appliance upright.
