The remote control requires AAA (2 x 1.5V) batteries for replacement.
Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote control and insert the batteries
inside. Care must be taken to insert the batteries according to the correct polarity (+ / –)
markings shown inside the battery compartment.
Always point the remote control signal transmitter towards the unit when operating. Make sure
that the signal path is not obstructed.
Remove the batteries if the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
Do not drop the remote control.
Do not mix different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not recharge the battery.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product and safely disposed of as per local
regulations.

Locate the male connector at one end of the garden hose.
Insert the garden hose connector into the water inlet valve of
the cooler. Screw and tighten the water inlet valve onto the
threaded part of the garden hose connector, making sure the
hose connector is secured to ensure there will be no leaks. If
there is leakage, the hose and the water inlet valve may not be
connected properly. Try to disconnect, replace and tighten the
water inlet valve again.
When the connection is secured, turn ON the water supply and
the water will flow into the water tank of the cooler.
The cooler is now set so the water refills automatically when
the water tank is empty, or when the water reaches below a
minimum level.
When the water tank is full, the water inlet valve will auto-
matically stop the water supply from overflowing.
Please open the water valve for minimum flow as too much
pressure could damage the inlet pressure control system.
WARNING: The maximum water inlet pressure is 0.5 MPa.
USE & OPERATION (CONTINUED)

It is ideal to use the Continuous Water Supply Connection to run the unit for long periods of time
without refilling the tank. This also helps prevent pump failure in case the cooler is running with
inadequate water in the tank.
CAUTION: Unplug the unit from the electrical power outlet before filling or emptying the water tank.
Continuous Water Supply Connection:
For a continuous water supply, you will need a garden hose that is connected to a main water supply.
Manual Water Tank Refill:
FILLING WITH WATER
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Using a portable container or a garden hose, you can refill the water tank manually by pouring
water into the water tank through the water inlet hole located at the top of the air cooler.
Check the water level indicator to know when the water tank is full. Do not fill water above the
"Max." water level mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers.

WARNING: Always ensure the water in the water tank is above the minimum (Min.) water level mark
for both Continuous & Manual Water Refill. Running the unit in Cool mode with inadequate water
may cause pump failure.

CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect from the electrical socket.
•
•
•
•
Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug
located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level and drain it completely.
Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive
elements or chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
LOW WATER ALARM*
The unit is equipped with a low water sensor. In Cooling Mode, when water in the tank is below the
minimum level, you will hear a beeping sound and the indicator light will flash continuously. The unit
will automatically pause evaporative cooling.
Refill the water tank to deactivate the alarm in cooling mode. First switch OFF the unit and unplug
from the power outlet. Fill the water tank with water above the minimum water level mark. Plug in and
switch ON again.
To deactivate the alarm and continue using the unit as a fan (without evaporative cooling), switch the
unit OFF and then ON again. The Low Water Alarm will not activate in Fan only mode. The Low Water
Alarm will sound again if the COOL function is activated while the water tank is still empty.
*Applicable for models with Low Water Alarm feature only.
Note: The water capacity refers to the total volume of water that can be contained within the air
cooler water tank and water distribution system. The water capacity in the tank at the “Max.” indicator
level may be lower than the actual water capacity of the air cooler.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can damage the unit and Honeycomb
media.

Below are instructions on how to clean and maintain your air cooler. If the cooler will not be used for
a long period of time, please refer to the STORAGE & MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES located in the
separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.
CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect from the power outlet.
•
•
•
•
Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug
located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level and drain it completely.
Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive
elements or chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with three Honeycomb Cooling Media pads.
The Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear and Side Grills. Follow Steps 1 to 5 for
instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
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 water tank and refilling with fresh
water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the
Honeycomb Cooling 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.

Remove the screws from the Rear Grill of the Air Cooler.
Carefully pull out the Rear Grill from the Air Cooler.
The Honeycomb Cooling Pad is secured on the Rear Grill by two Horizontal Bars that are fixed in
place by two screws on the Left and Right Sides of these Horizontal Bars. Remove these screws
to release the Horizontal Bars.
Pull out the Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding it out from the Rear Grill. Replace with the new
Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding into the grooves of the Rear Grill until it fits comfortably and
securely in place on the grill. Replace the Horizontal Bars back onto the Rear Grill by replacing the
Left and Right Side screws and tightening them in place. This secures the Honeycomb Cooling
Pad in place on the Rear Grill.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the Honeycomb Cooling Pad on the Left and Right Side Grills.
