PARTS

LED INDICATOR PANEL

GETTING STARTED

IMPORTANT
Always keep Coolzy upright. It may have been stored or transported on it’s side or laid flat by mistake, so please stand it upright for at least 12 hours before plugging it into power and turning it on. Failing to do so may damage the unit

Drape a curtain as shown to exclude light when sleeping. Make sure that the room air intake is at least 6 in (15 cm) from the wall!

1. After removing Coolzy from the box, place it in an upright position.
2. Remove the cable from the drawer at the back of the unit and insert the plug into a wall outlet. Make sure you push the drawer fully back in so it is flush with the back panel.
3. Open the warm air deflector fully. This will turn on the unit and the compressor will start.
4. Open the cold air deflector and allow 2 min-utes for the air coming out to feel cold.
5. Keep a door or window open so fresh air circu-lates unless it is extremely hot or windy outside.
6. Avoid using a fan nearby as it can disrupt Coolzy’s gentle air flow.
7. An adjustable nozzle (Focus Enhancer) is avail-able for purchase as an accessory. It extends the range of cooling and, after fitting the transparent flap that comes with it, enables a higher angle of air flow.

For a small room, place the unit near an open window or doorway.

Position Coolzy close enough for comfort. The ideal range of distance is 5 – 10 feet (1.5 – 3 metres). Arrange the angle of the cold air deflector so cool air flows around face and shoulders. For sleeping, arrange your unit about 6 inches (15cm) from the end of the bed. Adjust the cold air deflector to the desired angle so the cool air flows over your face and upper body. It also works with larger beds for two people.

Use the optional Igloo tent for a more intense cooling effect and insect protection. We recommend using the Igloo tent for sleeping if indoor temperature is over 80 °F (27 °C).

DEHUMIDIFICATION

Coolzy condenses water from the room air in humid weather conditions. Normally this water evaporates into the air emerging from the warm air outlet, improving the cooling power. To collect the condensed water instead, open the cable drawer and remove the stopper just above it. This will allow some of the condensed water to collect in the drawer. When the cable drawer is full, the white water drop indicator comes on and Coolzy will pause. Carefully remove the cable drawer and empty the water. The cable drawer can store about two litres of condensed water. Remember to replace the stopper for normal, high efficiency cooling

USER MAINTENANCE

We recommend inspecting at least the return air inlet fi lter once every two weeks. Once there is a noticeable amount of dust, clean all three fi lters by rinsing them under running water.

Remove the cool air outlet grille to access the foam filter beneath it. Replace the grille after cleaning the foam filter. In dusty locations, consider arranging for an air conditioning technician to clean the inside before the summer season. The refrigerant circuit is permanently welded: there is no need to recharge the gas.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

Power (green light)
This shows that the electrical power is on. When the green light fl ashes, Coolzy is waiting 1 – 2 minutes for the compressor to start cooling.

Water drop (white light)
In normal conditions, all the water condensed inside the cooler will evaporate into the air emerging from the warm air outlet. This evaporation increases the cooling performance in humid conditions. If you remove the stopper, following the dehumidification instructions, condensed water fl ows into the cable drawer instead. The water drop light comes on when the cable drawer is full of water. The water drop light also comes on if the cable drawer is not fully inserted and fl ush with the back panel.
When it is extremely humid, greater than 95% lasting for several hours, water can overfl ow from the cooler into the cable drawer.
If the water drop light is on, carefully remove the cable drawer and empty any water. If there is no water, then carefully push the drawer into Coolzy until it is fl ush with the back panel.

Snowflake (blue light)
The cooler temperature so low that there is a risk that ice may form, damaging the tubes in Coolzy. Some combinations of low temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure can lead to frosting. Allow the fan to operate for a few minutes to warm up Coolzy. Also, check the air inlet filters for excessive dust build-up. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the either of the air inlets such as a curtain, cushion or bedding.

Thermometer (red light)
The compressor has overheated. Coolzy can be used in ambient temperatures up to 104 °F (40 °C). Above that temperature, the compressor may overheat. Wait for 10 – 20 minutes and try again. Avoid using Coolzy in direct sunlight. Check the air inlet filters for excessive dust build-up. Ensure that there is nothing blocking the either of the air inlets such as a curtain, cushion or bedding.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom 1 – Green light is not on when trying to turn on Coolzy
Make sure the warm air defl ector is fully open. Check to see if the power supply is properly connected and on. If the power cord seems properly connected, try a different power supply. Check that the cable drawer is fully inserted and flush with the back of Coolzy.

Symptom 2 – Green light is on with no cooling
The green light fl ashes, the fan runs and the compressor waits to start cooling for about 90 seconds. This delay protects the compressor from damage.
If the green light is on and the fan is running, and there is no apparent cooling after 2 minutes, check the room air temperature. The compressor will only run at an air temperature greater than 63 °F (17 °C).

Symptom 3 – Water sloshing noise
In extremely high humidity, the production of condensed water may exceed the capacity to evaporate water at the condenser heat exchanger. As more water accumulates than in normal conditions, there may be a perceptible sound of water cascading off the condenser at the back of the machine. This is normal behaviour. If the sound is annoying, consider removing the stopper temporarily. The water will drain into the cable drawer. However the machine will stop cooling when the cable drawer is full of water.

Symptom 4 – Room seems to warm up
As you become accustomed to the cool microclimate that Coolzy provides for you, the other parts of the room may seem to be warmer. There may be a slight increase in air temperature in the space above the warm air defl ector, but this is normally not enough to heat up the lower part of the room.
Keep a door or window open. This is a healthy option. Position Coolzy’s warm air outlet to face the open window or door so warm air can flow out more easily. Unlike normal room air conditioners, Coolzy works just best with open doors or windows and fresh air circulating. A slight temperature increase can occur in a small room, especially if the windows are closed. The setup instructions show how to minimize this effect. Visit www.coolzy.com for more suggestions to improve ventilation.

Symptom 5 – Gradual loss of cooling
Dust accumulating on the air filters will reduce the cooling. Clean all three air filters following the instructions in this guide.
