Information about the device

Description of the device

The air cooler PAE25 cools rooms down to pleasant

temperatures by means of evaporation.

The device is filled with cold water or optionally with ice cubes

and/or ice packs in order to cool down the incoming warm air at

the evaporation filter and to blow out the cold air thus generated

via the fan.

Besides its cooling function, the device can also be used for air

freshening: thanks to an integrated air filter and the evaporation

filter's honeycomb structure, the sucked-in air is filtered and

humidified.

The fan can be set to four stages.

The discharge direction of the cooled air can be manually

adjusted via the ventilation flaps as well as via the optionally

selectable automatic swing mode.

The device has a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at

bedtime.

The device can be operated via the control panel at the device

or via the infrared remote control.

Errors and faults

The device has been checked for proper functioning several

times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,

check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.

• Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.

• Check the on-site fusing.

• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the

device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a

specialist company or by Trotec.

The device works with reduced or no capacity

• Check the position of the ventilation flaps. They should be

opened to the maximum.

• Check the air filter(s) for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace

the air filter(s).

• Check the minimum distance to walls or other objects.

Position the device a little more in the room's centre, if

required.

The device is running, but there is no air cooling or pump

operation

• Check whether air cooling mode is activated. The air

cooling symbol(19) should be illuminated.

• Check the filling level of the water tank (see chapter Filling

the water tank). The air cooling symbol(19) should not

flash.

• Check whether there are any objects blocking the pump

inlet. The pump inlet should not be blocked.

• In case the pump does not operate despite a correctly filled

water tank and activated air cooling mode, the pump might

be defective. Please contact the customer service.

Water leaks

• Check the device for leaks.

• Check the water tank for tight fit.

11 EN

Operating manual – air cooler PAE 25

The water tank cannot be inserted

• Check whether the mechanism for lowering the pump was

released. If the pump can be seen in the lower area, the

water tank is being blocked.

– Push the pump up until the switch for lowering the

pump can be seen.

The swing function does not work

• The swing function motor might be defective. Please

contact the customer service.

The device is loud or vibrates:

• Check whether the device is set up in a stable and upright

position.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

• Check whether the distance between remote control and

device is too large and reduce it if necessary.

• Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or

walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure

visual contact between device and remote control.

• Check the charging status of the batteries and change

them if required.

• If the batteries have only just been changed, check them

for correct polarity and change them if required.

Notice

Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and

repair work. Only then switch the device back on.

Your device still does not operate correctly after these

checks?
