Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
- Water/Ice Reservoir: Periodically empty and clean the water/ice reservoir to prevent mold or mildew buildup. Use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Vents: Check the air vents for any obstructions and clean them if necessary to maintain optimal airflow.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the unit is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | No power connection or faulty 12V source. | Ensure the 12V power cable is securely connected to both the unit and a working 12V output. Test the 12V source with another device if possible. |
| Weak airflow. | Fan speed set too low; vents obstructed; low water/ice level. | Increase fan speed using the digital controller. Check and clear any obstructions from the vents. Ensure sufficient water or ice is in the reservoir. |
| No cooling effect. | Insufficient ice; only water added (swamp cooler mode); unit placed in hot environment. | Add more ice for air conditioning effect. If using as a swamp cooler, ensure water is present. Move the unit to a cooler, shaded area if possible. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Fan obstruction; unit not on a level surface. | Check for any foreign objects near the fan blades. Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface. |
