inspection, repair or replacement.

 Before unplugging the power cord, be sure to turn the power off. When touching the unit, be sure

your hands are dry to prevent electrical shock.

 Never install the unit where it is exposed to direct sunlight, excessive moisture/rain, dust and lack of

ventilation near any heat sources.

 Avoid making contact with moving parts. Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through

the guards whenever the power plug is connected, especially while the unit is working.

 Always place the cooler on a stable, level surface when operating to prevent the fan from

overturning. Do not run the power cord under carpet. Do not cover the power cord with throw rugs
or runners. Route the power cord away from walking paths so that nobody can trip over it. The cable
should be kept away from heat, sharp edges and oil.

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the product or flexible cord to rain,

moisture or any liquid other than those necessary for correct operation of the product.

 This product should not be used in the immediate vicinity of water, such as bathtub, washbowls,

bathroom swimming pool etc. Where the likelihood of immersion or splashing could occur.

 Switch off and unplug from outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and

before cleaning. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

 Be sure that no other high current appliances are plugged into the same circuit as your fan, as an

overload can occur.

 Avoid the use of an extension cord as the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
 Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
 Do not use outdoors. FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
 Do not leave the appliance unattended when switched on.

residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for professional advice.

Product Introduction & Features

Evaporative air cooling is a natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze flowing across the water which drops
the temperature at the beach, and has a relaxing cooling effect on people.

When water as a liquid evaporates in to the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This
chemical change requires heat, thus energy or latent heat is taken from the air molecules - dropping the
actual temperature of the air.

Air contains dust, pollen and other pollutants. The evaporative air cooler cleans the air providing cool, fresh,
clean healthy air.

For best operating performance position the unit in a location that will create a “flow through” air effect.

The greatest cooling effect will be felt if the unit is operated in a partly opened doorway or window with the

“cool” conditioned air directed into the room to be cooled. It is important to also have a door or window
partly opened away from the cooler to create this “flow through” effect.

On days of high humidity, the cooling effect may be significantly reduced as the air entering the filter may
already be saturated with moisture. On days like this it may be better to switch the cooling feature OFF and
operate the unit as a fan only.
