PARTS LIST
INSTALLATION
This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit please note that it must always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface. Remove any packaging - keeping the air cooler in a vertical position. Make sure all parts are present and unit is assembled correctly ­including the castor wheels (these need to be pushed into place on the base of the unit)

To maximize efficiency, position the Air Cooler according to the following guidelines: Place the cooler in front of an open door or window. Ensure that there is adequate cross-ventilation in the room by leaving a door or window open opposite the cooler. The air cooler should not be used in enclosed spaces. It must be kept level and there must be opened to allow free air flow. The air cooler works best when placed near to an open wind, so that outside air is drawn into the air cooler, circulates in the room, then exits via the flow of air coming out of the air cooler. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a person is near the flow of air coming out of the air cooler. The air cooler produces moisture and can be used to humidify dry air. To be used for humidification the windows and doors should be closed.

Off: To turn off the unit, press the off button once. Low / Medium / High: Press one of the fan speed button to
turn on the air cooler. To change the fan speed, press desired fan speed button. OSC: Press this button to start the oscillation function. Press it again to turn off oscillation. Humidify: Press this button to turn on the humidifying function. Press it again to switch it off. Cool mode : To put the frozen ice pack into the water in the water tank. Turn the humidification function on. The product will blow out the cool humid air to produce the cooling effect. Fan mode : Turn on the unit and select the desired fan speed. No water has been added to the water tank.
Ice Pack: The ice pack can absorb any heat in the water, lowering the temperature and improving the overall cooling effect. You can use either use the ice pack that has been chilled in the freezer for 8 hours or simply use ice cubes.

USER TIPS FOR AIR COOLER
What is Evaporative Cooling? Air Coolers are built to maximize energy efficiency and keep energy costs low. Warm air is drawn into the cooler and enters the Honeycomb filter. Water pumped from the water tank pours over the Honeycomb filter frame. As the warm air passes through the Honeycomb filter frame, the water absorbs the heat, naturally cooling and humidifying the air. A fan propels the cooled air out into the room. This no-compressor system cools naturally, efficiently and inexpensively.
During the operation:
When humidifying, the water level must not be lower than the MIN water line. If you want to increase the cooling effect, you can put ice or the charged ice packs into the water tank, but be sure that by adding ice or icepacks the water level does not go over the MAX limit. Empty some water if necessary. Make sure filter frame is properly inserted at the back of the unit

Note: If you want to remove the water tank, please turn off the unit and wait for 2 minutes. It is to let the water inside the honeycomb to go down to the tank before remove the tank from the unit. Otherwise, the water in the honeycomb will drop down to the slot for putting the tank. Once the water level goes below the minimum level, the device inside the tank will be triggered and the unit will beep three times. Stop the unit and pull out the water tank. Add the water to max. level and replace the tank to the unit. Then restart the unit under cool mode.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
ATTENTION: Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Cleaning the surface
Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage. Make sure no water enters the control panel.
Cleaning the water tank
Unplug the power cord, remove the honeycomb filter bracket, and then remove the water tank. With a cloth (dipped in a mild detergent), wipe the water tank, rinse it with water, and then carefully place it back in the unit. Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce any mineral deposits and keep the filters clean. Do not run the unit in Humidify mode with stale water in the tank. We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water if water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or less, which allows a noticeable temperature decrease. The temperature will be lower in drier climates because higher evaporation occurs when the humidity is low. NOTE : When the product is used for the first time the filter frame may have an odor which will dissipate in a few hours or so of initial use.
CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB FILTER
The appliance is supplied with a Honeycomb filter.
The Honeycomb filter are located inside the Rear grille. See Fig 9 for
instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. You must empty the water tank and refill with fresh water, especially if the tank has not been cleaned in a long time.
The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb filter depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of water is high, mineral deposits may build up on the Honeycomb filter and restrict air flow. Draining the water tank and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the Honeycomb filter, the Honeycomb filter should be removed and washed under fresh water. The Honeycomb filter should be cleaned every two months or sooner, depending on your needs.
For best results allow the Honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off the cool mode 15 minutes before turning the unit off.

STORAGE
- Make sure all parts are dry by running the Fan mode for about 30 minutes before storing (time depends on ambient humidity conditions).
- Switch OFF the Air Cooler and unplug from the power supply.
