Other Tips to MaintainYour Air Cooler

Check the water level: Always make sure that there is enough water in the tank before turning on the air cooler. If the water level is low, refill the tank immediately. Store the air cooler properly: When not in use, store the air cooler in a cool and dry place. Make sure that it is properly covered to prevent dust and debris from accumulating.

• Do not use strong detergents that may cause damage to the air cooler.
• Pay attention to hygiene so as not to leak the electricity into the engine, which can cause a fire.
• After cleaning, dry the components before re-fitting and using. By following these maintenance and cleaning tips, you can ensure that your air cooler remains in good working condition and provides you with cool and refreshing air for a long time.

Note: When using the air cooler for the first few hours, you may notice a slight odor. This is normal and should dissipate after a few hours of use. This is due to the materials used during manufacturing and is not harmful to your health. To reduce the odor, it is recommended to run the air cooler on the highest speed with a full tank of water for a few hours in a well- ventilated area. After this initial period, the odor should dissipate.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Kolin customer service for further assistance.
