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.
Note: The garden hose is not included. Please make use of a garden hose which is compatible with
the unit connection.
Manual Water Tank Refill:

•
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 full, the water inlet valve will automatically
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.
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.

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 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.
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.

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.
