USING THE APPLIANCE

Plug the appliance in: you will hear a beep and the appliances ready to use;
Remove the plastic tab from the battery (fig. 1);
To turn the appliance on, press the button ( B1 or D1).
The appliance turns on at MED fan speed and the ionizer is on (fig. 2).

Setting fan speed

Press the button (B2 or D4);
When you press the button, the fan speed changes (MED, MAX, MIN) (fig. 3).

Cooler/Humidifying
Fill the water tank before selecting this function.

Extract the water tank (fig. 4) and fill with MAX 4.5L (152 oz) of fresh tap water (do not overload the water tank: see water level indicator A2).
Put the tank back in the appliance;
Press the button (B3 or D6): the corresponding light on the display turns on (fig. 5) and the air, flowing through the cooling pad, comes out fresh and contributes to decrease the room temperature;
Please note:
At first use, the appliance could emit a strange odor and the water could be discolored: this is part of normal use
Using the ice box/pack you can increase the efficiency of the appliance.
Fill the ice box/pack with tap water (fig. 6);
Put the ice box/pack in the freezer and leave it in until it is frozen (fig. 7);
Put the ice box/pack vertically in the front left corner of the tank as shown in figure 8;
Replace the water tank, turn on the appliance and select Cooling/Humidifying: the air flow will be fresher than before (fig. 9).

Please note:
Always check the Ice box/pack is correctly inserted in its housing (see fig. 8).

Selectingthe fanmode
The appliance can be set for 3 different fan modes:

NORMAL- Press the button (B2 or D4) to select the fan speed;
NATURAL – Press the MODE button (B4 or D5) once. The appliance performs random ventilation cycles at different speeds, interrupted by a few seconds of stop (fig. 10);
SLEEP – Press the MODE button (B4 or D5) twice. The appliance runs 30 minutes at MAX speed, then 30 minutes at MED speed: then runs continuosly at MIN speed (fig. 11).

Swing
Press the button (B5 or D2)once to activate the rotating vent (fig. 12).

Press again to exit swing mode.
The corresponding LED turns on and off accordingly.
You can also adjust vertically the vent by lightly pushing the vent to orientate the air flow (fig. 13): always adjust the vent when the vent is stationary.

Auto Off
You can set the delayed shut off from 1 to 24 hours by pressing the button (B6 or D3).

Select the number relative to the operating hours desired: the number will be shown on the display (C1);
symbol flashes to highlight that you are program- ming the auto off: when the flashing stops, the auto off is set (fig. 14);

If you want to exit the “Auto off” function, repeatedly press the button (B6 or D3) until “00” is displayed: symbol flashes then disappears and“Auto Off”function is disabled.

REFILLING THE WATER TANK

Before activating the Cooling/Humidification function, always make sure there is water in the tank. If the water finishes during use, the appliance makes an audible signal and the symbol flashes on the display (fig. 15): the device will nonetheless continue to ventilate.

Recommended tankfilling procedure

Partially extract the water tank (fig. 4) and fill it with MAX 4.5l (152oz) of fresh tap water, using a jug. Always use tap water and never overfill the tank: check the water level indicator (A2);
Put the tank back in the appliance.
Note : If you decide to completely extract the tank:
extract the tank until the pump is raised (fig. 16) and wait a few minutes for the residual water on the honeycomb cooling pad to drip into the tank;

fully extract the tank and proceed to fill it.
Once the tank is filled:
if necessary, dry the tank housing;
check that the pump is raised;
carefully re-insert the water tank.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
Never immerse the appliance in water.
Pouring water on the unit is strictly forbidden.
Do not use benzine, alcohol or solvents for cleaning.
Do not spray insecticide liquid or similar since the plastic could be deformed.
Clean the surface of the unit with a damp cloth, never use an abrasive scourer directly on the outside surface as it might scratch.

Cleaning the dust filter and the cooling pad
To avoid clogging of the dustproof filter, please clean the filter regulary. The frequency of cleaning is to be related to the working time: if used daily, it is suggested to clean filter weekly.

Remove the dust filter and cooling pad (fig. 17);
Remove the dust from the filter and the cooling pad using a vacuum cleaner (fig. 18);
Wash thoroughly the cooling pad with water; then leave it to completely dry and reassemble the filtersin its housing (fig. 19).
To maintain the efficiency of the appliance, it is suggested to change the cooling pad every year.

Cleaning the water tank
Please note:
Turn off unit and let sit two minutes before removing drawer to allow excess water to drain back into tank

Remove the water tank (fig. 4);
Clean thoroughly with a cleaning sanitizer, easily available in stores (fig. 20).

Changing the battery of the remote control

Remove the battery holder on the back of the remote control (fig. 21);
Insert one 3V CR2025 type lithium battery on the support, checking that the polarity is correct (+ and -) (fig. 22).

Please note

If you change or dispose the remote control, the bat- tery must be removed and disposed of according to local recycling regulations.
Never throw the battery in fire as it may explode or leak dangerous liquids.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Below is a list of some of the possible malfunctions.
If the problem cannot be resolved as described, contact Customer Service.

PROBLEM	CAUSE	SOLUTION
No discharge of air	Cord is not plugged in	Make sure power cord is plugged

in and the switchisON
Power is not ON| Turn the unit ON by pressing the button (B1 on the control panel or D1 on the remote control)
The appliance switches off| The auto shut off timer was set| Turn the appliance ON and check that the auto shut off symbol is off
Presence of water under the tank| When the tank is completely extracted without waiting a couple of minutes, the residual water on the honeycomb cooling pad will drip into the tank housing| Dry the housing before re- inserting the tank. For filling, follow the instructions in chap. 3.
Excessive humidity in the room| In Cooler/Humidifying function, the appliance produces moisture as a result of evaporative cooling. This is normal| The appliance cools best in dry climates. If the ambient humidty level is high (60% or above) refrain from using the cooler/humidifying function
Make sure the window/doors are open and there is adequate cross ventilation in the room so that the air can circulate better. Utilize the “fan” function
Odors and colored water| When the appliance is new| At first use, the appliance will have an odor, which will dissipate within a few hours of initial use. The color in the water will also dissipate after a few uses.
Algae or mold due to moisture. In very damp conditions, algae may form due to moisture| Check the Honeycomb Cooling Pad (A12), water tank (A7) and other cooler parts. If you see mold spots or algae issue, use a damp cloth to wipe away the algae until all spots have disappea- red. Make sure all parts are clean and dry before storage. Contact Customer Service if problem persists. If the Honeycomb Cooling Pad (A11) has algae or mold, change it with a new one
PROBLEM| CAUSE| SOLUTION
---|---|---
Remote control does not work| Remote control battery is incorrectly inserted in the battery compartment| Check the battery is correctly inserted following the polarity guide inside the battery compartment.
Remote control battery is exhausted| Replace with a new battery
