Water Level Indicator: A transparent indicator on the front panel shows the current water level in the 70-liter tank, allowing for easy monitoring and timely refills.
Densenest Honeycomb Cooling Pads: These advanced cooling pads are designed for maximum water retention and efficient evaporation, leading to enhanced and rapid cooling.
Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the cooler from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Position the air cooler on a flat, stable surface in a well-ventilated area. For optimal cooling, ensure there is an open window or door nearby to allow for air circulation. The cooler is equipped with castor wheels for easy movement.
- Water Filling: Open the water inlet cover and fill the 70-liter water tank with clean water. Monitor the water level indicator to avoid overfilling. For enhanced cooling, add ice cubes to the dedicated ice chamber.

- Activating Cooling: Turn the cooling knob to activate the water pump, which will moisten the honeycomb pads and begin evaporative cooling.
- Using the Ice Chamber: For an extra boost of cooling, open the ice chamber lid and place ice cubes inside. This will further chill the water circulating through the pads.

Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air cooler.
- Water Tank Cleaning: Drain and clean the water tank regularly, especially if the cooler is not used for an extended period. This prevents algae growth and unpleasant odors.
- Cooling Pad Maintenance: The Densenest honeycomb pads should be inspected periodically. If they appear clogged with dust or mineral deposits, gently rinse them with water. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Dust Filter Cleaning: The slidable dust filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain air quality and cooling efficiency. Simply slide it out and wash it under running water.
- Louvre Cleaning: The fully collapsible louvres can be easily cleaned by wiping them with a damp cloth. Collapsing them helps prevent dust accumulation and mosquito breeding.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the cooler with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
