Using your appliance:
Turning Your Air Cooler On/Off:

the air cooler on, and again to turn the unit off.
NOTE: The unit will automatically start
running whenever it is turned on, using the
latest settings as a default.

To install the batteries, first detach the battery
cover from the remote. To do this, place a
thumb on the grooved area at the top of the
battery cover and push it gently down, while
simultaneously pulling the compartment away
from the body of the remote.
Insert 2 x AAA batteries into the battery
compartment, taking care to ensure the
polarities are correct.

automatically click into place and secure the

from the unit.
We recommend closing the vents when not
using the unit for long periods of time or

press the Mode button on the appliance’s
control panel or the remote control. The
corresponding symbol will light up to indicate

cooling period of between 1 and 7 hours.
To program a pre-set cooling time, press the
Timer button on the appliance’s control panel
or the remote control. The corresponding

has been set. The indicators will light up as
follows:
• 1 hour timer: the ‘1H’ indicator will light up.

Using the Humidifying Function:

cold wind function.
To use the humidifying function, press

The included ice packs can be used to
create an even cooler wind when using
the humidifying function.
To make use of the chilled air function,
put the two ice packs included with the
unit into the bottom drawer of a freezer
and leave them overnight, so that the
water inside turns into ice.
Once the ice packs are fully frozen, take
them out of the freezer and insert them
into the smallest compartment inside the
water tank. When each pack is secured
inside the compartment, close the water
tank, turn the unit on and press the
Humidifier/Cold wind button to activate
the humidifying function. The unit will
now operate as normal.
