Before you start

Check the air cooler and the accessories for damage. If the air cooler is damaged, do not use it.

Getting started

Place the air cooler on a flat, stable surface (e.g. a table). When you carry it, use the fold-out handle (5).

CAUTION! If the device is faulty or used incorrectly (too much liquid added), water can leak out of the bottom of the device.

CAUTION! If there is no water in the water reservoir (13), the air cooler can be switched on using the on/off button (2) , but only works as a fan (i.e. it will not cool the air). The light effects can still be set using the mood light button (4).

The parts of the air cooler can be taken apart and put back together without tools. So it is easy to refill and clean the air cooler.
Wet the new air filter (11) completely under cold, running water before putting it into operation. This ensures optimum cooling effect from the start.

Filling/refilling the water reservoir

WARNING! The water reservoir (13) must be emptied, cleaned and refilled after 72 hours at most. Micro-organisms present in the water or the area where the air cooler is used or stored can grow in the water reservoir (13) and be emitted into the air, which can lead to serious health risks if the water is not replaced and the water reservoir (13) properly cleaned every 72 hours.

How to fill the water reservoir (13):

  1. Press slightly with your finger on the top of the closure flap of the front panel (1). This allows it to be detached from the housing.

  2. Now pull the water reservoir (13) with the air filter (11) inserted carefully forwards out of the housing (12).

  3. Lift the air filter (11) up out of the water reservoir (13).

  4. Fill the water reservoir (13) with water. For the device to work properly, there must be between 300 ml and 700 ml water in  the reservoir. Keep an eye on the fill level display (9) on the side of the water reservoir (13), see the arrow in the diagram opposite.
    You can also pre-chill the tap water in the fridge or fill the water reservoir (13) with ice cubes for a better cooling effect.
    CAUTION! Only use fresh, clean tap water or distilled water. Adding other substances (e.g. essential oils) could damage the air cooler.

  5. Insert the air filter (11) into the water reservoir (13), push both back into the housing (12) and replace the front panel (10) so that the closure flap on the front panel (1) clicks into place. First, feed the lug on the bottom of the front panel with adjustable air outlet grille (10) into the recess in the bottom of the front side of the casing then push the top edge of the front panel with adjustable air outlet grill (10) against the housing (12) until it clicks properly into place.

The air cooler is now ready to use.

Operation

The air cooler does not indicate that the water reservoir is empty (13). So you should keep an eye on the fill level display (9) and top up the water as necessary.

  2. Press sightly with your finger on the top of the closure flap of the front panel (1). This allows it to be detached from the housing.
  3. Now pull the water reservoir (13) with the air filter (11) inserted carefully forwards out of the housing (12).
  4. Lift the air filter (11) up out of the water reservoir (13). If the air filter is still wet, place it in a bowl, in the sink or in a wash-basin where it can drip.

Cleaning the front panel and housing
To clean front panel with adjustable air outlet grille (10) and the housing (12), use a clean, soft cloth, which you can moisten slightly if necessary. Never use solvents or aggressive detergents. Make sure that no liquid gets into the housing (12). You can dust the air outlet grill with a soft paintbrush or blast the dust off with dry compressed air.

Cleaning the water reservoir
The water reservoir (13) should be cleaned after every use but at least every 72 hours to avoid a build-up of bacteria. How to clean the water reservoir (13):

  1. Pour away any remaining water.

  2. Fill the water reservoir (13) with 500 ml warm tap water and add a tablespoonful of vinegar. Gently stir the water and leave to stand for approx. 5 minutes.

  3. Pour away the vinegar and water mix and rinse the water reservoir (13) out with fresh tap water.
    If there is a build-up of dirt in the corners of the water reservoir (13), use a bottle brush or a toothbrush to remove it.

  4. Wipe the water reservoir (13) dry inside and out.

Cleaning the fan
You can remove dust from the fan and the air inlet grille (7) using a soft paintbrush. If necessary, you can blast it out with dry compressed air.

Cleaning the air filter
You should clean the air filter (11) once a week. You should also replace it with a new air filter (11) every 6 months. You can buy new air filters (11) online from the following address: shop.targa.de
ATTENTION! If you notice a musty smell or discover mould on the air filter (11), do not use the air cooler until you have thoroughly cleaned the air filter (11).
How to clean the air filter (11):

  1. Fill a bowl or a pan with equal parts water and vinegar.
  2.  Soak the air filter (11) for approx. 15 minutes in the vinegar solution.
  3. Then rinse the air filter out with clean water.
  4. Reassemble the air cooler (see section below).
  5. If you do not wish to use the air cooler again immediately, let it run for about 4 hours at fan speed 3 without water to ensure the air filter (11) is well dried out and no bacteria can form.

Reassembling the air cooler
Once you have carefully cleaned all parts of the air filter, you can reassemble it. The procedure is as follows:

  1. If you wish to continue using the air cooler, fill the water reservoir (13).
  2.  Insert the air filter (11) into the water reservoir (13), push both back into the housing (12) and replace the front panel (10) so that the closure flap on the front panel (1) clicks into place. To do this, feed the lug on the bottom of the front panel with adjustable air outlet grille (10) into the recess in the bottom of the front side of the casing then push the top edge of the front panel with adjustable air outlet grill (10) against the housing (12) until the closure slot on the front panel (1) clicks into place.
  3. If you wish to continue using the air cooler, reconnect the power supply.

Transporting the air cooler

If you wish to transport the air cooler, disconnect it from the mains power and disconnect the power adapter and the power adapter cable from the device. Always carry the air cooler by the handle (5).

Storage when not in use

If you do not plan to use the air cooler for some time, empty the water reservoir (13) and clean the air cooler as described in the chapter on “Cleaning the air cooler”. Reassemble it and allow it to run for at least 4 hours at fan speed 3. This dries out the air filter (11) and the interior of the device and prevents build-up of bacteria. Store the air cooler in a clean, cool, dry place.

  • Empty and clean the air cooler before storing it. Clean the air cooler before you use it again.
