Product Introduction and Features

Evaporative air cooling is the natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze flowing
across the water which drops the temperature at the beach.

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 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.

indicator LED lights on. SPEED function High-Mid-Low can also be used in­conjunction with the SLEEP and Natural function.

D. TIMER: Can be set for a length of time before the cooler switches itself OFF.

Press once for every 30min increments. Maximum allowable is 7.5hrs. Example
of use: If 0.5hr and 1.0hr lights on at the same time, it means timer is set 1. 5hrs
before automatically switching OFF. The TIMER function is OFF when no LED
are lit up.

E. COOL MODE: Press once to operate the COOL function. This function begins

the process of soaking the air filter in water so that normal air passing through
the air filter will be cooler when blown out. Press the button again to switch this

F. MODE: There are 3 mode functions, Normal, Natural or Sleep.
Normal mode:
Constant air flow and can be adjusted via pressing the

SPEED function button. Example: Normal LOW or Normal

High or Normal Medium.
Natural mode:
Programmed to simulate natural air flow (wind) as it would be if it was

entering via the window. This mode is preferred for use when constant air
flow (Normal mode) is not suitable. Natural mode can be operated HIGH or

MEDIUM or LOW speed.
Sleep Mode:
Programmed to provide comfort while you are asleep. This mode is similar

to the Natural mode and can operate with SPEED mode HIGH or MEDIUM

or LOW.
NOTE: All above can be operate via the remote controller pod shown in Fig.2

OPERATION

1. Ensure that the cap on the water drainage outlet of the unit is tightened. Pour

clean cold water into the water filler area, observing the water level indicator on

the bottom front panel.
CAUTION: DO NOT SPILL OR ALLOW WATER TO COME IN CONTACT WITH
THE CONTROL PANEL

Do not overfill past the MAX water indicator mark.
If desired, place ice in the ice tank in the top of the unit.

CAUTION:

• Do not pour water into the ice tank.

• Do not allow the combined use of water and ice to overfill the water

reservoir.

• When moving the unit, do so with extreme caution, so as not to spill any
water in the reservoir. The unit should be moved slowly and in a sideways
direction.

• Always keep the unit upright.

2. Connect the unit to a power outlet of the same voltage and frequency as
indicated on the rating plate. The unit ON/OFF LED for the power will light up to
indicate that there is power to the unit.

by a combination of indicator lights.

EG: 5.5hrs is indicated by the 4hr LED, the 1hr LED and the 0.5hr LED being
illuminated.

5. To initiate the cooling function depress the COOL button. It will take
approximately minutes for the air to cool.

NOTE: If this button is not depressed the unit will only circulate “room
temperature” air.

6. Move the horizontal louver for the air outlet to blow the air up or down to suit
your preference.

7. The vertical louvres can be set to a direction or allowed to rotate through 120o by
depressing the SWING button.

8. All the functions can be performed with the remote control supplied with this unit.

a. Remove the battery cover and install two “AAA” batteries as indicated.

(Please observe correct battery polarity.)

b. Point the remote towards the unit and depress the appropriate button.

The remote control will operate up to 4 metres from the unit.

9. Depress the OFF button to cancel all functions.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure effective humidifying and filtering, it is recommended that the filtering
system be cleaned once every 1-2 months.

1. Disconnect the unit from the mains supply.

2. Empty the water reservoir by loosening the plug of the water drainage outlet.
Make sure you have a container under the drain to collect the water or empty
the unit outside. You may have to empty the water collector a few times, so just
re-cap the plug of the water drainage outlet during emptying.

3. It is important after every season to clean the water reservoir and filter system of
the unit.

CAUTION: Care must be taken as the filter system contains electric cables and motor. These

components are not to be splashed or immersed in water.

4. Unscrew rear fixing back cover screws and release the back cover.

5. Disconnect the electric motor connection and remove the complete filter
assembly by pulling out from the top and then lifting the filter assembly - up and
out.

6. The air filter is connected into the back cover via two clips at the top. Release by
pressing the two clips down and give it a little push. Be careful not to damage
the filter.

CAUTION: Do not immerse or allow the motor or electric cables to come in contact with any liquid.

Do not immerse the Photocatalysis filter in water or any other liquid.
This filter should not be allowed to become wet. It should be placed in a
sunny position to reactivate it.

7. The water curtain is supported by two rollers, which can be removed for
cleaning with mild soap. It is recommended to be cleaned once every 6 months.

8. Wipe out and dry the water reservoir. Replace the water drainage plug. It is
recommended to be cleaned once every 1-2 months

9. Dry the filter and filter assembly and the water curtain before re-assembling.

10. To clean the exterior surfaces simply wipe over with a soft damp cloth. Should it
be necessary, greasy marks may be removed from the surfaces by using mild
soap and a cloth dampened in hot water. Avoid all other types of detergents,
cleaners and solvents that may contain chemicals which could damage parts of
the unit. Thoroughly dry all parts before storage.

11. Store in a cool dust free location for next use.

PROBLEMS

Always check full product operation as detailed above before returning any
product as faulty.

On humid days the unit may not appear to be cooling correctly. This is due to the
air already being saturated with water. Adding more water to the air will not result
in pulling the air temperature down. In these conditions, it is advisable to operate
the unit as a fan only to circulate room air.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Always operate the unit as detailed above.

• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT remove the cover (or

back) while the unit is in operation or connected to the mains supply.

• Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug, or after the unit
malfunctions, or is damaged in any manner. Return the complete unit to the
place of purchase for in-warranty replacement, or inspection and repair.

• ALWAYS OPERATE AND STORE THE UNIT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION.

CAUTION! Do not immerse the cooler in water or allow water to drip
into the interior of the cooler housing as this could create a fire or
electric shock hazard.
