by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a
shock hazard.
Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)
corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,
and that the wall socket is properly grounded.
DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of
adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only
materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the
electrical parameters of the adapters.
The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote
control appliances which are not specified in this manual.

DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let
any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In
case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all unplug
immediately the power cable from the socket.
DO NOT operate the fan next to an open window while it is raining. Rainwater
splashing onto the fan may cause an electric shock.
Place the appliance at a proper distance from objects or surrounding walls making
sure that its functioning will not cause accidental damages. There should be at least
10 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides, and the top of the fan.
The appliance should NOT be placed on any surface or in the vicinity of objects
which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics, while in operation or
immediately after.
Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it
can be damaged easily.
Always remember to unplug the power cable of the appliance if it is NOT used for a
long period, before changing accessories, storing, cleaning or performing any
maintenance operation.

HOW TO USE
Warning: The fan is fully assembled. DO NOT operate the fan with any of its parts
disassembled. The entire assembled unit works as a single appliance. The fan must
only operate in the upright position. Any other position will be hazardous.

Avoid using the appliance in a closed environment. The appliance should be used
in an open and well-ventilated environment.
When the appliance operates under the COOL function, the Water Tank must be
filled with water. Although the appliance can be used as an ordinary fan without
using the COOL function, accidentally operating the appliance under the COOL
function with an empty Water Tank may result in possible damage to the appliance.
Thus, to be on the safe side, the Water Tank of the appliance should be filled with
water prior to operation.
When moving the appliance, be aware that water can spill out of the Water Tank.
Thus when moving an appreciable distance, it is recommended that all water be
drained from the Water Tank prior to the move.
Emptying the Water Tank
The Water Tank should be emptied and re-filled with fresh, clean water frequently.
DO NOT fill the Water Tank with other liquids.
Open the hatch found at the bottom and back of the appliance and pull out the
Water Tank.
Empty the Water Tank.
Put the empty Water Tank halfway back in, put the frozen Ice Packs into the Water
Tank and then re-fill it with fresh, clean water using a hose or any clean container
until the water level indicator reaches the top of the Water Level scale (above the
minimum and below the maximum levels of the tank). Push the Water Tank
completely into the appliance and close the hatch.

6. When the COOL mode is activated, the Water Pump in the Water Tank pumps water
to saturate the Cooling Pad at the back of the appliance. Air which flows through
the Cooling Pads lose heat to the water and exit at a slightly lower temperature.
Thus a decrease in temperature occurs; the exact decrease depends on the relative
humidity and air temperature. If the button is pressed when the Speed is high, the
fan speed will drop to its lowest speed for 30 seconds before resuming normal
operations.

The appliance
functions, but the
air coming out is
not cool enough.
The Cooling Pad is dry or
contain an insufficient amount
of water due to either
insufficient amount of water in
the Water Tank or that the
Water Pump is not functioning.
Clean the Water Tank and
replace the water in the Water
Tank. Clean the Water Hose.
Remove dirt from the Water
Pump’s strainer. Check that the
Water Pump is functioning
normally. If the Water Pump is
not, please stop use and
contact customer service.
The Dust Filter or Cooling Pad is
clogged with dust or dirt.
Clean or replace the Dust
Filters or Cooling Pads.
Excessive high relative
humidity in the room due to
environmental factors (of which
nothing can be done) or that
the appliance has been turned
on in its current cycle that the
room has been saturated with
moisture (saturated vapour
pressure of water vapour is at
maximum) so much so that the
appliance is unable to lower
the temperature of the room.
Turn the COOL mode off to
avoid releasing more moisture
into the room.
Water is spurting
out from the air
inlet together with
air.
Cooling Pad has strayed out of
position or that the Water Tank
is clogged with debris.
Place the Cooling Pad in the
correct position.
Clean the Water Tank and
replace the water in the Water
Tank. Just in case that debris
has entered the system, clean
the Water Hose and the Water
Pump’s strainer.
10

Undesirable odour
emitted.
The unit is placed in an
environment where
undesirable odours are
prevalent or that algae or
mould is growing on the
Cooling Pads or in the Water
Tank.
Clean the Cooling Pad or Water
Tank and replace the water in
the Water Tank.
The appliance is
overheating. There
are sparks coming
from the outlet
when the
appliance is
plugged in.
This could be caused by a
blockage of hair, dust or some
other obstruction in the Air
Inlet.
Power off the dryer and unplug
it from the power source.
Use a soft bristle brush to
gently remove any lint or hair
present from both the Air Inlet
and its cover.
If this does not fix the problem,
please contact customer
service.
White sediments
in the Water Tank.
The water in the Water Tank is
saturated with salt.
As water is continually removed
from the Water Tank, various
salts are left behind, which in
time become saturated and
exceed their Solubility Product
values (Ksp). This is normal.
Clean the Water Tank and
replace the water in the Water
Tank. Clean the Water Hose.
