3. Using Ice Packs (Optional for Enhanced Cooling)
For enhanced cooling performance, fill the provided reusable ice packs with water and place them in a freezer until completely frozen. Once frozen, place the ice packs into the designated compartment within the water tank. This will help to lower the air temperature further.
