 USER TIPS

NATURAL ENERG Y EFFICIENT COOLING ..

Evaporative air cooling is the natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze blowing across a lake. This
breeze drops the temperature and has a relaxing cooling effect.

The evaporative air cooler cools the air by means of the evaporation of water. When water
evaporates into the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change
requires heat which is taken from the water molecules, resulting in cooler air propelled from the
unit.

USER TIPS

The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or

less, which allows a noticeable temperature decrease. The
temperature decrease will be greater in drier climates because
higher evaporation occurs when humidity is low.

The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed

spaces. It must be kept level and there must be water in the
water tank. The room should have doors and windows opened to
allow free air flow. The evaporative air cooler works best when
placed near an open window, so that outside air is drawn into the Room with open windows & door
evaporative air cooler, the air circulates in the room, then exits via
the door. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a person is in
the flow of air coming out of the evaporative air cooler.

The evaporative air cooler can also be used to humidify dry air
during cool weather. To be used for humidification the windows
and doors should be closed to allow the humidified air to accumu-
late. The evaporative air cooler is not an air conditioner as it does
not use a compressor or refrigerant gas.

NOTE

When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb
cooling media will have an odour which will dissipate within a week
of initial use.

 USE & OPERATION

ROOM COOLING & HUMIDIFYING

When the Water Regulator is set to ''MIN'', the water pump
distributes minimal amount of water to the Honeycomb media.
This results in less water evaporation and reduces cooling
effect.

When the Water Regulator is set to ''MAX'', the water pump

distributes the maximum amount of water to the Honeycomb
media. This results in maximum water evaporation and the
cooling performance improves.
Water Regulator

COOLER LOCATION
Place the cooler in front of an open door or window. Ensure that
there is adequate cross - ventillation in the room by leaving a
door or window open opposite from the cooler.

Following these rules will ensure your cooler will work as

effectively as possible.

 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER AND HONEYCOMB

• The appliance is supplied with carbon filter & honeycomb
Open Screws
cooling media.
• Always keep the Carbon filter clean. You can wash the
Carbon filter at least twice a year or whenever you feel
necessary.
• The carbon filter and honeycomb media are located inside the
back panel. Open the back panel by using a star screw driver
to clean or replace the carbon filter or honeycomb media. It is
recommended that the carbon filter and honeycomb media be
replaced every year, depending on use and environment.
• Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at
Back Panel
least once a week will greatly reduce mineral deposits in the
pads and help to extend the life of Honeycomb cooling media.
• 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 Honeycomb Carbon Filter
water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a
week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits
remain on the Honeycomb 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.
