This air cooler has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliance - use it
with care.
Disconnect the power from the unit before changing filters, dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
Avoid touching any moving parts of 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.
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 object/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 turn off the air unit. 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 while the water tank is
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 minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.
Please make sure, while in operation, the water in the water tank does not exceed the MAX level 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 maybe
necessary, depending on the air quality.
In order to achieve maximum efficiency please place the unit 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 in the room exceeds 60%
The ambient operating temperature range is from 5°C to 40°C.
If used in low temperatures (as a humidifier) it is recommended to fill the water tank with warm (but not
hot) water.

FEATURES
Spot cooling and humidifier
Low power consumption and no need for venting
Ideal for shop floors or rooms which cannot be sealed or traditionally air conditioned
3 fan speeds and oscillation setting for improved air flow
Directional louvres to create a cooling spot
Easy to use controls
Large 5.5 litre water tank and cooling pads
Honeycomb Filter for improved cooling and air cleaning
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.
TIPS
The recommended relative humidity for optimum
operation is 60% or lower. A drier climate makes for
more noticeable cooling.
The evaporative air cooler should not be used in
enclosed or sealed spaces. It must be kept level and
there must always be water in the water 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 air
conditioner as it does not use a compressor or
refrigerant. It should not be expected to cool as
efficiently as a refrigerated air conditioner.
When the product is used for the first time the
Honeycomb cooling media will have an odour, this
should dissipate within a week of use.

PARTS LIST
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 any packaging - keep the air cooler in a vertical position.
Make sure all parts are present and unit is assembled correctly - including the castor wheels (these need to
be pushed into place on the base of the unit)
Water tank: when filling the tank ensure not to fill above the MAX level.
When 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 the water tank, but
be sure that by adding ice or icepacks the water level does not go over the MAX limit. Empty some water
before adding the ice packs if necessary.
Make sure filter pad is properly inserted at the back of the unit
Connect the power plug to a working socket, and then press the power button.
Note: If you want to clean the tank wait until unit has been powered-off for 2 minutes.
ICE PACK
The ice pack slowly absorbs heat from the water in the tank to reduce the temperature of the water. This will
help reduce the temperature of the air blowing out of the cooler. Place the ice pack in the freezer until it is
completely frozen before placing it into the water tank. Ice cubes could also be used as an alternative source of
cooling.
NOTE: 1. The Ice Pack is reusable, do not attempt to open or drain.
2. Do not consume the contents of the Ice Pack.
*Design of ice pack may vary

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
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, remove the honeycomb filter bracket and then remove the water tank cover. With a
cloth (dipped in a mild detergent), wipe the water tank then rinse it with water.
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 cooling 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 the 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. 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 cooling function for 15
minutes (with empty water tank) before turning the unit off.
Unplug the power cord, then remove the honeycomb filter frame. Take the honeycomb filter out of the bracket.
With a mild detergent and a soft brush, scrub the honeycomb filter, clean with water and dry
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE:
1. Empty the tank and wash it with warm soapy water.
2. Dry the tank before placing it back in the unit
3. Clean the Honeycomb pads
4. Store the Icepack in the water tank
5. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
