Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the cooler from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Position the cooler on a flat, stable surface. For optimal performance, ensure there is adequate cross-ventilation in the room. Without proper cross-ventilation, the cooler's effectiveness will be reduced.
- Water Filling: Open the water inlet and fill the reservoir with clean water. The cooler has a capacity of 20 liters. Do not overfill.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable 230V electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Turn the fan control knob (refer to Figure 4) to the desired speed setting (Low, Medium, High).
- Cooling Function: To activate cooling, turn the Swing/Pump control knob (refer to Figure 4) to the 'Pump' position. This will start the water pump, wetting the cooling pads.
- Swing Function: To enable automatic air deflection, turn the Swing/Pump control knob to the 'Swing' position. This will activate the oscillating louvers for wider air distribution.
- Air Deflection: Manually adjust the horizontal louvers to direct airflow as needed. The cooler offers four-way air deflection.
- Power Off: Turn both control knobs to the '0' or 'Off' position and unplug the cooler from the power outlet.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Water Tank Cleaning: Regularly drain and clean the water tank to prevent algae growth and maintain hygiene.
- Cooling Pad Maintenance: The honeycomb cooling pads are easily removable. Periodically remove and clean them with water to ensure efficient cooling. Replace pads if they show significant wear or mineral buildup.
- Storage: If storing the cooler for an extended period, drain all water, clean the tank and pads, and ensure all components are dry before storing in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cooler does not turn on. | No power supply; power cord not plugged in; fuse blown. | Check power connection; ensure outlet is functional; check household fuse/breaker. |
| No cooling effect. | Water tank empty; pump not working; cooling pads clogged; insufficient cross-ventilation. | Fill water tank; check pump operation; clean/replace cooling pads; ensure windows/doors are open for airflow. |
| Weak airflow. | Fan speed set too low; air filter/pads clogged. | Increase fan speed; clean air filter/cooling pads. |
| Water leakage. | Overfilled water tank; cooler not on a level surface; drain plug loose. | Do not overfill; place on level surface; secure drain plug. |
