Information about the device

Description of the device
The air cooler lowers the room temperature to a comfortable degree by evaporation-based cooling.
The device is filled with cold water or optionally with ice cubes and / or ice packs in order to cool down the incoming warm air at the evaporation filter and to blow out the  cold air thus generated via the fan.
Besides its cooling function, the device can also be used for air freshening: thanks to an integrated air filter and the evaporation filter’s honeycomb structure, the sucked-in air is  filtered and humidified.
The fan speed can be set to three stages.
The discharge direction of the cooled air can be manually adjusted via the ventilation flaps as well as via the optionally selectable automatic swing mode.
The device has a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at bedtime.
The device can be operated via the control panel at the device or via the infrared remote control.
Moreover, using the timer function, the device can be switched off automatically with time delay.

  • Check the on-site fusing.
  • Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device works with reduced or no capacity:

  • Check the position of the horizontal ventilation flaps. They should be opened to the maximum.
  • Check the air filter for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter.
  • Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects.
    Position the device a little more in the room’s centre if required.

The device is running, but there is no air cooling or pump operation:

  • Check whether air cooling mode is activated.
  • Check the filling level of the water tank (see chapter Filling the water tank).
  • Check whether there are any objects blocking the pump inlet. Make sure that the pump inlet is not blocked.
  • In case the pump does not operate despite a correctly filled water tank and activated air cooling mode, the pump might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

Water is leaking:

  • Check the device for leaks.
  • Check the water tank for tight fit.

The swing function is not working:

  • The swing function motor might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

The device is loud or vibrates:

  • Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

  • Check whether the distance between remote control and device is too large and reduce it if necessary.
  • Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure visual contact between device and remote control.
  • Check the charging status of the batteries and change them if required.

Trotec PAE11 Air cooler - figure 19

Cleaning the housing
Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive  cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.

Cleaning the water tank
Warning
Use citric acid as cleaning/descaling agent for the water tank. Always wear gloves and protection glasses when cleaning the device since the acid may have caustic effects.
Additionally, please observe the manufacturer’s specifications and hazard warnings for citric acid.

Note
Clean the device with citric acid if you detect visible signs of limescale. To clean the device, heat it to max. 40 °C. Otherwise, the formation of citrate may cause damages to the device.
Before a longer period of non-use or storage the water tank should be drained.

  1. Release the water tank by turning the clip from its vertical position into the horizontal position.
    Trotec PAE11 Air cooler - figure 20

  2. Remove the water tank from the device.Trotec PAE11 Air cooler - figure 21

  3. Thoroughly rinse the water tank with citric acid (descaling agent). Allow the citric acid to work for max. 20 minutes.
