2. Setup

Installing the Filter:

- Place the new, prepared filter into the marked location within the drawer.

3. Operation
The Arctic Air Ultra operates as an evaporative cooler. Hot, dry air is drawn into the unit and passes through the wet filter. As the air moves through the filter, water evaporates from the filter's surface, absorbing heat from the air. This process cools and humidifies the air, which is then expelled from the unit, providing a cool, moist, and comfortable personal space.
4. Maintenance
Cleaning the Filter:
The Arctic Air Ultra replacement filters are designed to be washable and reusable. Regularly rinse the filter under cold, running water to remove any accumulated dust or impurities. Ensure the filter is thoroughly cleaned before re-inserting it into the unit.
Filter Replacement:
It is recommended to replace the filter every 3-6 months for best use and to maintain optimal cooling and air purification performance. The lifespan of the filter can vary depending on usage frequency and local water quality.
