the power plug from the wall power outlet with dry hands.

section on how to reinsert the water tank. 
Press the UNLOCK RELEASE on the back of the unit by pulling up. You will hear it UNLOCK.

Always ensure there is adequate water in the water tank before switching ON the unit in COOL & 
WARM modes. 
Operating the unit with inadequate water levels can cause damage to the water pump and the unit. 
If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, turn off the Main Power Switch on the 
left side of the unit and empty the water tank. 
Observe the minimum water level mark and maximum water level when filling the water tank. 
It is recommended to fill the water tank directly by pulling the tank half-way or one-third out and 
pour water into it. 
You can also open the top cover of the ice compartment; use a pitcher to pour water into the ice 
compartment, the water will drain down into the water tank. Do not fill water above the "Max." 
water level mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers. 
You can also remove the tank and fill directly from the kitchen sink. Please note it is a 12 litre 
capacity water tank. Please be careful when transporting the water tank after it is filled with water. 
It is recommended that you use a large towel near the fill area as it is easy to spill water if you 
do not smoothly slide the tank back into place. It is recommended that you put a water proof 
mat under the unit if you have hardwood floors. Make sure that the floor is a flat level and hard 
surface and do not tilt or angle the unit. 
Once you put the water tank back in place, press firmly until you hear it lock in. If you do not hear 
the CLICK and if the back of the tank is not flush the unit will not operate. 
Make sure that your hands are dry before plugging the power plug into the wall outlet to avoid 
serious harm or death from electrical shock.
Note: The water capacity refers to the total volume of water that can be contained within the air 
cooler water tank and water distribution system. The water capacity in the tank at the “Max.” indicator 
level may be lower than the actual water capacity of the air cooler.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can damage the unit and Honeycomb 
media.

CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER* AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media. 
The Carbon Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill. See Figure 1 
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 media 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 Cooling Media 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 Cooling Media, the media should be removed and washed under fresh water. The 
media should be cleaned every two months or sooner, depending on your needs. 
For best results allow the Honeycomb Cooling Media to dry after each use by turning off the cool 
function 15 minutes before turning the unit off.
