Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
- Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
- For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
- Please make sure, while in operation, the water in the water tank does not exceed the MAX level and does not fall below MIN.
- Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.
- In order to achieve maximum efficiency please place the unit near an open door or window. Evaporative Air Coolers work with an evaporative cooling mechanism that requires cross ventilation
- This unit will lose efficiency if the humidity in the room reaches a relative humidity of over 60%
- The ambient operating temperature range is from 5°C to 40°C.
If used in low temperatures (as a humidifier) it is recommended to fill the water tank with warm (but not hot) water.

OPERATION
The air cooler cools the air by means of evaporation. When water evaporates
into the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This
chemical change requires heat which is taken from the water molecules,
resulting in a spot cooling effect.
- The recommended relative humidity for optimum operation is 60% or lower. A drier climate makes for more noticeable cooling.
- The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed or sealed spaces. It must be kept level and there must always be water in the water tank. Doors and windows should be open to allow free airflow. The evaporative air cooler works best when placed near an open window/air current.
- When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb cooling media will have an odor, this should dissipate within a week of use.

Cooler ON / OFF:
Turn the knob to the ON position to turn the unit on and start the cooling function. Turn the knob to the OFF position to turn the unit off and stop the cooling function. -
Speed OFF / LOW / MID / High: Turn the knob to LOW, MID, or HIGH to set the fan to the desired speed.
-
Swing OFF / ON: Turn the knob to the ON position to turn on the fan swing function. This will allow the air to circulate more around the room. Turn the knob to the OFF position to turn off the fan swing function. This will give a more constant stream of cool air similar to a natural breeze.
Water Filling
Before turning on the cooling and humidification function, please add water to
the tank. You can use the unit without water in air cleaner mode only. There
are two methods – Automatic and Manual.
Automatic Filling
connects the device to an outlet with a piece of hose and then turn on the
outlet.
Manual Filling
before filling with water, open the water inlet, fill the water tank slowly,
and then return the water inlet to the original position. Only use clean tap
water and do not fill the water beyond the maximum water level
Note:
It is completely normal and in no way dangerous if the device has a slight
odor or the water tank has a slight discoloration when it is used for the
first time.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
ATTENTION:
Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. Cleaning the surface Clean the plastic housing
with a duster or a soft wet cloth. Do not use chemical solvents (such as
benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage. Make sure
no water enters the control panel.
Cleaning the water tank
Unplug the power cord then remove the water tank. With a cloth (dipped in a
mild detergent), wipe the water tank, rinse it with water, and then carefully
place it back in the unit. Draining the water reservoir and refilling with
fresh water at least once a week will help reduce any mineral deposits and
keep the filters clean. Do not run the unit in Humidify mode with stale water
in the tank. We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water
if water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB FILTER PADS
The appliance is supplied with a set of 3 honeycomb cooling/filter pads (back
and sides). The cleaning frequency for the honeycomb filter depends on local
air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of water is high
(hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the honeycomb cooling filter
and restrict airflow. If mineral deposits remain on the honeycomb pads, the
filter should be removed and washed under fresh water. We recommend cleaning
the honeycomb filter at least every two months, depending on your needs. For
best results, allow the honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off
the humidity function for 15 minutes (with an empty water tank) before turning
the unit off. Unplug the power cord, then remove the honeycomb filter frame,
and take the honeycomb filter out of the bracket. With a mild detergent and a
soft brush, scrub the honeycomb filter, clean with water and dry. Do not dip
in the water.
End of Season Maintenance
- Empty the tank and wash it with warm soapy water.
- Dry the tank and clean the Honeycomb pads
- Store any Icepack you may use in the water tank
- Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
