SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
•Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit This appliance is for indoor use only.
•Rating: This unit must only be connected to a 220-240 V / 50 Hz earthed outlet.
•Installation must be in accordance with regulations of the country where the unit is used.
•If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply have it checked and, if
necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.
•This air cooler has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliance -
use it with care.
•Disconnect the appliance from the power socket before changing filters, dismantling,
assembling or cleaning.
•Avoid touching any moving parts within the appliance.
•Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects though the guard.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not leave
children unsupervised with this appliance.
•Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
•Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
•Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not
available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.
•Never operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not
stretched or exposed to sharp objects/edges.
•A damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in
order to avoid a hazard.
•Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an
authorized service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
•Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
•Never use the mains plug as a switch to start and stop the air cooler. Use the provided
ON/OFF button located on the control panel.
•Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface. Do not move or tilt the unit when the water
tanks are full.
•The appliance should not be installed in laundry or wet rooms.
•Do not use this unit in environments with flammable or explosive gases.
•Avoid keeping the unit in direct sunlight for a long period of time.
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
•Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
•For maximum performance the distance between the unit and a wall or objects should be at least
50cm.
•While in operation, ensure that the level of the water tank does not exceed MAX and does not fall
below MIN.
•Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three
weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be
necessary, depending on the air quality.
•In order to achieve maximum efficiency the unit should be placed near an open door or window.
Evaporative Air Coolers work with an evaporative cooling mechanism which requires cross ventilation.
•This unit will lose efficiency if the relative humidity within the room exceeds 60%.
•The ambient operating temperature range is from 5°C to 40°C.

OPERATION
The air cooler cools the air by means of evaporation. 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 a spot cooling effect.

PARTS LIST
Please Note: Both water tanks are part of the main unit, and are not removable.

The recommended
relative humidity for optimum operation is 60% or
lower. A drier climate make
s for more noticeable cooling.

The evaporat
ive air cooler should not be used in enclosed
or sealed
spaces. It must be kept level and there must be water in the
tank.
Doors
and windows
should be open
to allow free air flow. The
evaporative air cooler works best
when placed near an open window
/
air
current.

The evaporative air cooler can also be used to humidify dry
environments (
during cool weather
)
. To be used for humidification the
windows and doors should be closed to allow the humidified
air to
accumulate. The evaporative air cooler is not an a
ir
conditioner as it
does not use a compressor or refrigerant.
It should not be expected to
cool as
e
ff
ectively
as a refrigerated
air conditioner
.

When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb cooling
media will have an odour
,
this
should
dissi
pate
within a week of use.

INSTALLATION
This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit please note that it
must always be kept upright and then placed on an even surface.
•Remove all packaging – while keeping the air cooler in a vertical position.
•Make sure that all parts are present and that the unit is assembled correctly - including the castor
wheels (these need to be pushed into place on the base of the unit)
•Water tank: Fill the top water tank with water ensuring that water tank does not to go above the
MAX level visible on the front of the unit.
•When Cooling/humidifying, the water level must not be lower than the MIN water line.
•If you want to increase the cooling effect, you can put ice or the charged ice packs into either
water tank, but be sure that by adding ice or icepacks the water level does not go over the MAX
limit. Empty some water if necessary via the drain on the back of the unit.
•Make sure that the filter pad is properly inserted into the back of the unit.
•Connect the power plug to a working socket, and then press the power button.
Please note: When the unit is plugged in, the appliance will go through a diagnostic process to ensure
it is ready for operation. While this is carried out the lights on the front will flash.
ICE BOX
The ice box can absorb the heat in the water, which in turn can lower the temperature of the water tank.
This can make the air flow cooler.
Remove the ice box and put it in the freezer until it is totally frozen 
Put the frozen ice box into the top water tank.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Page 8of 11
ATTENTION: Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning
or performing any maintenance.
CLEANING THE SURFACE
Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause
irreversible damage. Make sure no water enters the control panel.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
Unplug the power cord and remove the honeycomb filter bracket. With a cloth (dipped in a
mild detergent), wipe the water tank. Before using the unit, the tank should be rinsed by
filling the tank and allowing it to drain through the drain port.
Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help
reduce any mineral deposits and keep the filters clean.
Do not run the unit in Humidify mode with stale water in the tank.
We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water if water has been standing
in the tank for an extended period of time.
MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB FILTER PADS
The appliance is supplied with Honeycomb cooling / filters pads. The cleaning frequency
for the Honeycomb filter depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where the
mineral content of water is high (hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the
honeycomb cooling filter and restrict air flow. If mineral deposits remain on the
Honeycomb pads, the filter should be removed and washed under fresh water. For a
deeper clean a mild detergent should be used with a soft brush. Once cleaned the filter
should be rinsed in clean water before leaving to dry.
We recommend cleaning the honeycomb filter at least every two months, depending on your
needs.
For best results, allow the honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off the COOL
function and running the unit as a fan for 15 minutes before turning the unit off.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
1. Empty the tank and clean it following the instructions above.
2. Clean the Honeycomb pad
3. Store the Icepack in the water tank
4. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
