Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air cooler.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Draining the Water Tank: Regularly drain the water tank, especially if the cooler will not be used for an extended period. Locate the drain plug at the bottom or back of the unit, remove it, and allow all water to drain out.
- Cleaning the Water Tank: After draining, clean the inside of the water tank with a soft brush and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Cleaning Honeycomb Cooling Pads: The honeycomb pads can accumulate dust and mineral deposits. Carefully remove the back panel (refer to diagram if available) and slide out the pads. Rinse them under running water. For heavy deposits, soak them in a mild descaling solution (e.g., vinegar and water) before rinsing. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Nano Carbon Air Filter: The air purifier includes a Nano Carbon Air Filter. This filter should be cleaned periodically by gently vacuuming or rinsing with water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
- Cleaning the Insect Net: The insect net, located at the back, should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockage and maintain airflow. Remove and rinse with water.
