APPLIANCE OVERVIEW

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Guidance on filling with water, disassembling and washing of the water tank

NOTE:

• Ensure that the water tank is regularly emptied and cleaned when the air cooler is left unused for a prolonged period of time.
• Always remove the power plug when filling with water and cleaning.
• Always make sure that the water pump module is fixed securely in place before turning on the air cooler. If the water pump module is not securely fastened it can affect the performance of the unit when the Cool Wind function is in use.
  To fill:
  Separate water pump module, and fully pull out the water tank, to feed water or clean the water tank.

Filling the water tank

1. Unlock the water tank by rotating the locking mechanism 90 degrees.

2. Pull out the water tank and fill with water (making sure not to go over the maximum fill line), then once filled push the tank back into position and lock securely.
   

Removing and cleaning the water tank

1. Rotate the locking mechanism 90 degrees anticlockwise to release the water pump module from the water tank (including the water pipe).
   

2. Once the water pump module has been detached, carefully remove the water tank from the unit so that it can be fully emptied of any stagnant water and cleaned thoroughly

3. After cleaning the water tank, reinsert the water pump module back into the water tank. Insert front hook into the slot of the water tank, and then rotate locking mechanism clockwise 90°, and close it as shown below.

4. Push the water tank inside slowly, and rotate the locking mechanism to secure back in place
   

Usage of the ice box

NOTE:

1. The ice box can be frozen repeatedly and reused. You can also choose not to use it based on the temperature.

2. Please keep the ice box closed to prevent damage and liquid leakage.

3. The ice box is made of eco-friendly and toxic-free materials, and can be frozen safely.

4. When using the frozen ice box in the water tank, the temperature at the air outlet will drop after operating Cool Wind function.

5. Ice blocks can be used to replace the frozen ice box, to create the same cooling effect.

6. Ensure that the water level in the water tank doesn’t exceed the “MAX” (maximum) line on the front of the water tank, and if the water level is showing as lower than the “MIN” (minimum) please refill the tank before using the ‘Cool Wind’ function.

7. Pull the water tank out halfway from the air cooler unit.
   

8. Take the ice box out of the package and place it inside a freezer to freeze for more than 3 hours. Put the frozen ice box in the water tank, and fill with water, ensuring it stays below the ‘max’ fill line.
