Setup Guide
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the evaCHILL unit and all included accessories from the packaging. Verify that you have the replaceable cartridge, USB micro power cable, and funnel.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not turning on. | No power, incorrect power adapter. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the unit and a power source (at least 2A 5V). Try a different USB port or adapter. |
| Unit is leaking water. | Unit is not on a flat surface, overfilled water tank. | Place the unit on a completely flat, horizontal surface. Do not overfill the water tank. Ensure the cartridge is properly seated. |
| Insufficient cooling effect. | Low water level, dirty cartridge, high ambient humidity, unit too far away. | Refill the water tank. Consider replacing the cartridge if it's old or dirty. Note that evaporative coolers are less effective in high humidity. Position the unit closer to you (within 3-5 feet). |
| Unpleasant odor. | Stagnant water, dirty cartridge. | Empty and clean the water tank regularly. Replace the cartridge if the odor persists. |
Important Note: The Evapolar evaCHILL is a personal evaporative air cooler and humidifier. It is not designed to cool an entire room like a traditional air conditioner. Its effectiveness is maximized in dry climates and when used for personal cooling within a small area.
