Information about the device

Description of the device

The air cooler PAE25 cools rooms down to pleasant temperatures by means of evaporation.

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 can be set to four 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 has a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at bedtime.

The device can be operated via the control panel at the device or via the infrared remote control.

Danger!

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

Danger!

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

Caution!

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. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains feed-in: Switch the device off and disconnect the power cable from the mains socket. Hold onto the mains plug while doing so.

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

Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.

• Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.

• Check the fuse (home).

• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device works with reduced or no capacity

• Check the position of the ventilation flaps. They should be opened to the maximum.

• Check the air filter(s) for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air filter(s).

• Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects. Position the device a little more in the room's centre, if required.

The device is running, but there is no air cooling or pump operation

• Check whether air cooling mode is activated. The air cooling symbol(19) should be illuminated.

• Check the filling level of the water tank (see chapter Filling the water tank). The air cooling symbol(19) should not flash.

• Check whether there are any objects blocking the pump inlet. The pump inlet should not be blocked.

• In case the pump does not operate despite a correctly filled water tank and activated air cooling mode, the pump might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

Water leaks

• Check the device for leaks.

• Check the water tank for tight fit.

The water tank cannot be inserted

• Check whether the mechanism for lowering the pump was released. If the pump can be seen in the lower area, the water tank is being blocked.

– Push the pump up until the switch for lowering the

pump can be seen.

The swing function does not work

• The swing function motor might be defective. Please contact the customer service.

The device is loud or vibrates:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright position.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

• Check whether the distance between remote control and device is too large and reduce it, if necessary.

• Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure visual contact between device and remote control.

• Check the charging status of the batteries and change them, if required.

• If the batteries have only just been changed, check them for correct polarity and change them if required.

Note:

Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.

Your device still does not operate correctly after these checks?

Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
