Information about the device
Device description
The air cooler lowers the room temperature to a comfortable
degree by evaporation-based cooling.
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 speed 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.
Moreover, using the timer function, the device can be switched
on or off automatically with time delay.
Additionally, the device comes equipped with an ionizer which
eliminates odours and bacteria from the room air, if required.

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 damage.
• 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 horizontal ventilation flaps. They
should be opened to the maximum.
• Check the air filter for dirt. If necessary, clean or replace
the air filter.
• 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.
• Check the filling level of the water tank (see Filling the
water tank).
• Check whether there are any objects blocking the pump
inlet. Make sure that the pump inlet is not 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.
• Make sure that the pump is correctly installed and secured
in the water tank (see Filling the water tank).
Water is leaking:
• Check the device for leaks.
• Check the water tank for tight fit.
The swing function is not working:
• 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 just been changed, check them for
correct polarity.
The device still does not operate correctly after these
checks:
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the

Warning of electrical voltage
Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
• Switch the device off.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
Warning of electrical voltage
Tasks which require the device to be opened must

companies or by Trotec.
Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt
1. Remove the air filter.
2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
3. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
4. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the
device cleaned by a specialist electrical company or by
Trotec.
5. Put the air filter back in.
Cleaning the housing
Clean the housing with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Make
sure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical
components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or
abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.
Cleaning the water tank

Cleaning the air filter
The air filter has to be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. This is
brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors
and faults).
Warning
Ensure that the air filter is not worn or damaged. The
corners and edges of the air filter must not be
deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filter,
make sure that it is undamaged and dry!

Replacing the evaporation filter
Note
When set to air cooling mode, the device must not be
operated without the evaporation filter, otherwise
cooling will not work.
Note
Do not operate the device without an inserted air filter!
Without the air filter, the inside of the device will be
heavily contaminated. This could reduce the
performance and result in damage to the device.
The evaporation filter should be replaced in case of heavy
soiling.
In standard operation, the interval for replacing the evaporation
filter is approx. 1year.
Allow the evaporation filter to dry before removing it from the
device.
1. Remove the holder, air filter and evaporation filter(7) from
the device.

Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment
must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of
its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration. You can also find out about other return options
that apply for many EU countries on the website
https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise, please contact an
official recycling centre for electronic and electrical equipment
authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
In the European Union, batteries and accumulators must not be
treated as domestic waste, but must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 6September 2006
on batteries and accumulators. Please dispose of batteries and
accumulators according to the relevant legal requirements.
