PREPARATION FOR USE

Remove all the packing material and take out the appliance. Remove all possible adhesion foils, and stick–them on labels, or paper from the appliance. Place the appliance on a  suitable flat and dry surface. Leave free space for due ventilation. Vents in the appliance ensure air circulation during ventilation and they must not be covered or blocked in another way. Make sure that the power cord is not damaged and that it does not lead to any sharp or hot surfaces. The electric socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be easily disconnected from the power supply if danger appears. Plug the power cord connector into an electric socket. Moderate smoke for a short time does not mean any defect. Now the appliance is ready for operation.
To fill the water, take out the water tank and pour clear water inside, at the level between MIN and MAX marks. You can also use upper container A17. For the maximum cooling effect, we recommend using cold water. For the best results use cooling boxes D inserted in the tank (A5 or A17), after having been sufficiently cooled down in your freezer. You may also add ice cubes in the water. This will help keep the water in the tank cold for a longer time.
INSTALLATION OF WHEELS
The product includes 4 wheels A4 and a tightening spanner E to fix the wheels to the cooler body A. Please proceed according to Fig. 3. Two wheels have arresting locks
(wheels A, Fig. 3) used to secure the appliance against unwanted moves. For better stability, we recommend installing the wheels in a cross shape according to Fig. 3.
Cooling boxes preparation
Cooling boxes are delivered and filled with powdery material. It is necessary to fill the box with water (preferably distilled water, if need be boiled water) up to the watermark placed on the box. Afterward, screw in the box properly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Once connected to the mains, the appliance will switch to standby mode. „ “ symbol will display at the same time. To start the appliance, press the switch on/off button B1

• air blowing will be activated in the normal mode at medium speed, and the respective icons will appear on the display. Now you can change the mode and functions by the
  respective buttons

• see below. To terminate any function and to switch off the appliance, press repeatedly presses the switch on/off button B1.

BLOWING MODE
3 different air-blowing modes are available. Normal, natural and sleep modes. The mode is selected by pressing the B2 button. It is possible to switch modes within both functions (cooling and fan).
A) Regular mode ( ) depends on the manual setting of the blowing speed, which is maintained the same.
B) Natural mode ( ) tries to imitate air circulation in nature. Therefore it alternately switches on and off the ventilation depending on the speed setting, while changing the blowing speed. The blowing intensity is changed as follows when the respective blowing speed is set up:
Low speed

Medium speed

High speed

C) Sleep mode ( )
This mode is identical in many aspects to the natural mode. The main difference is that after the expiration of 1 hour, the speed setup is decreased to the lowest level. This means that if you set the high speed in the sleep mode, the appliance shall switch to the medium-speed mode after 30 minutes, and to the low-speed mode after 30 minutes. If you start with the medium-speed setting, the appliance shall switch to the low-speed mode after the respective period. The low-speed mode is then on without any change in the blowing frequency and intensity.
BLOWING SPEED
3 air-blowing speeds are available (low – medium – high ) to be selected during the cooling or ventilation modes by pressing the B6 button. The respective setting is indicated on
display by the respective icon B9.
FUNCTIONS
The appliance has two basic functions with various properties:
a) Cooling function
To cool down the air, press the cooling button B7. The activated function is indicated by the B10 icon. With this function, the A8 pump is active, pumping the water from the tank to the cooling pad A10. Switch off the function by pressing the B7 button again (the B10 icon will disappear), and switch the appliance to a standard fan function.
b) Fan function
This is a standard ventilation function without the activated pump and with no need to have water inside the A5 tank. This is the default function when the appliance is switched on. It is only indicated by the switched on/off icon B1, and by the respective icons of speed and blowing mode setting.

Notes and recommendations

• If you want to activate the cooling functions, water must be present in the A5 tank.
  Regularly monitor the water level so as it will not drop below the MIN level mark.
  Do not have the appliance without any water when the pump is switched on!

• If you are going not to use the appliance for a long time, we recommend activating the 3 b) fan function at the high speed for at least 20 minutes before switching it off. This will completely dry the internal components of the appliance.

OSCILLATION
By pressing the B5 button, you activate the oscillation of internal blades A2. The function is indicated by the icon B11. Outer blades A1 must be set up manually.
BACKLIGHT
You turn off all pilot lights by pressing the B3 button. By pressing the B3 button again, you turn on the pilot lights signalizing the setting of an appliance.
TIMER
With the B4 timer button, you may set up switching the appliance off after 7.5 hours at maximum. Each press of the button will set up the timer as follows:
0,5 H – 1H – 1,5 H – 2H – 2,5H – 3H – 3,5H – 4H – 4,5 H – 5H – 5,5 H – 6H – 6,5 H – 7H – 7,5 H – timer off – 0,5 H – 1H – 1,5 H…
Remote control

• Remote control unit C may also be used to switch between modes and functions. The appliance response is the same as when controlled by buttons on control panel B.
• Aim the remote control unit at the front side of the control panel B.
• Proceed according to Fig. 2 to replace the battery (CR2025).
• If you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period of time, take out the batteries.

• If the battery is leaking, take them out immediately, otherwise, it may damage the appliance.

MAINTENANCE

Wipe the individual parts of the appliance’s outer casing, including the control panel with a damp cloth or sponge. Prevent water from spilling inside the appliance or control panel.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. Pad cover and cooling pad
Do not remove the rear cover of the A11 pad during normal operation. Remove it only if you are going to replace the cooling pad A10 (its service life is up to 3 years under normal operation), or to make complete maintenance after the respective period of time.
Unscrew two A14 screws to dismount the cover. Then remove the cooling pad according to Fig. 1. Clean the cover and the pad by a fine brush and water with a neutral cleaning agent added, then rinse in clear water and let dry.
