Information about the device

Description of the device

The air cooler lowers the room temperature to a comfortable degree by evaporation-based cooling.

The device is filled with cold water or optionally with ice cubes and/or ice packs 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.

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.

The device can be operated via the control panel at the device.

Warning

The device is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children.

Warning

Risk of suffocation! Do not leave the packaging lying around. Children may use it as a dangerous toy.

Note

Do not operate the device without an inserted air filter! Without the air filter, the inside of the device will be heavily contaminated. This could reduce the performance and result in damage to the device.

Behaviour in the event of an emergency

1. Switch off the device.

2. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains feed-in: Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.

3. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.

Note

When mounting the wheels, make sure that the filled water tank is not located inside the device.

1. Place the device on its side and insert a roller. Repeat this step for the 3remaining wheels.

ð Please note that the wheels equipped with a parking

brake ought to be positioned at the front of the device.

• To ensure a firmly fixed position, apply the parking brakes.

Filling the water tank

The device requires fresh drinking water for air cooling.

Note

Fill the device with fresh drinking water only. The water temperature must not exceed 40°C.

• To facilitate easy transport, release the parking brakes.

Info

If possible, change the water on a daily basis to prevent bacterial growth.

Observe the following when using the ice packs:

• Put the ice packs into a freezer for at least 4hours before use.

• The water tank(7) should be filled with water before inserting the ice packs.

Info

When using ice packs at high outside temperatures, condensation may form at the water tank and drip onto the floor.

1. Disconnect the device from the mains before refilling water or putting ice packs into the device.

2. Release the water tank by turning the clip upwards.

3. Pull the water tank out a little from the device.

Info

There are two ways to fill the water tank:

Version A: Pull the water tank out of the device as far as possible and use a suitable vessel to fill the water tank. Please note that you cannot pull the water tank completely out of the device since there is a pump installed in the water tank. Continue with step6 in this case.

5. Remove the water tank from the device.

6. Fill the water tank 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.

7. If required, put the ice packs into the water tank for additional cooling.

Version B: Completely remove the water tank from the device and then fill the water tank. To do so, follow steps4 and 5.

4. Release the pump and remove it from the water tank by turning the locking lever 90° clockwise. While doing this, make sure not to damage or loosen the connected cable or the hose attached to the pump.

8. Reinsert the water tank into the device and, if applicable, secure the pump in the water tank by inserting the pump into the retainer and turning the locking lever 90° counterclockwise.
