MODE

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

• EVA. / COOLER: Press this button to activate or disable evaporative cooling. While evaporative cooling is active, the pump will pull water from the tank and run it through the cooling pad, increasing the cooling power of the unit. If disabled,

the unit will simply operate as a tower fan. If the water drop icon

is illuminated constantly, then evaporative cooling is operating normally. If the icon is flashing, then the water tank needs to be refilled. Note: Do not run evaporative cooling mode if the

water tank is empty. If you do, the water pump may be damaged.

• MODE: Press this button to cycle between operation modes. When the leaf icon is illuminated, the unit is in nature mode, which will cause the unit to simulate a shifting natural breeze. When the moon icon is illuminated, the unit is in sleep mode, which will cause the unit to gradually decrease fan speed over time. If no icons are illuminated above the mode button, then the unit is operating in normal mode.

• TIMER: Press this button to enable an automatic shutoff after a specific amount of time. Select between 1 and 12 hours by pressing the button until the correct quantity of hours is illuminated in the time icons above the timer button. Note: If

you set the timer while the unit is off, the unit will turn on (at the chosen fan speed) after that time has elapsed.

• SPEED: Press this button to change the speed of the fan between the three options.

• OSC.: Press this button to enable the oscillation feature. When enabled, the louvers on the front vent of the fan will move back and forth, increasing the coverage of the fan.

WATER TANK SETUP

You can fill the water tank from the side of the unit (through the small drawer opening) or directly into the water tank by undoing the latches and removing the fan head from the water tank base. Water can be filled at the very top of the unit, but please note that this water drains down the cooling pad, rather than directly into the water tank. It is advised not to use the top to fill the tank.

into water tank

Tips:

• Try to keep the water level between the MIN and MAX lines in the water tank (seen on the front of the water tank) in order to prevent water pump damage or tank overflow.

• If the water falls below the MIN line, your unit may beep for a short time as a warning. Add some water to the tank until the level is above the MIN line, in order to avoid damage to the water pump.

• Use the included ice packs to improve the cooling power. (Do not break open or modify ice packs in any way—ice

packs already contain a freezing gel and do not need to be opened. Place ice packs in the freezer overnight prior to use, for maximum cooling effect. Frozen ice packs should be placed directly into the water tank, away from the pump.)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Be sure to unplug the unit before doing any cleaning.

2. All plastic parts can be cleaned with mild soap and a damp cloth or sponge. Thoroughly clean any soap residue before using the unit again.

3. Be sure not to allow any water or other liquid to get inside the fan head.
