Information about the device
Description of the device
The air cooler PAE 20 lowers the room temperature to a
comfortable degree by evaporation-based cooling.
The device is filled with cold water in order to cool down the
incoming warm air at the evaporation filter and to blow out the
cold air thus generated via the fan. Ice packs can be used for
additional cooling if required.
Besides its cooling function, the device can also be used for air
freshening: thanks to an integrated air filter and the evaporation
filter's honeycomb structure, the sucked-in air is filtered and
humidified.
The fan speed can be set to three stages.
The discharge direction of the cooled air can be manually
adjusted via the ventilation flaps as well as via the optionally
selectable automatic swing mode.
Using the timer function the device can be switched off
automatically with time delay.
Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at
the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.

3. Fill the water tank(5) with fresh drinking water only.
Optionally, you can add ice cubes made of drinking water
for additional cooling.
ð Observe the minimum and maximum filling level at the
filling level indicator.
The water tank must be filled up to minimum filling
level to enable pump operation.
4. Close the water tank(5) again.
2. Ensure the tight fit of the rubber stopper(5a), for otherwise
there might be uncontrolled water leakage.
5. Make sure that the device is neither damp nor wet on the
outside. Otherwise wipe it dry.
