5. Operating Instructions

Control Panel / Remote Functions:
- Power Button: Press to turn the unit ON or OFF.
- Speed Button: Select from three intensity levels: Low, Medium, or High fan speed.
- Mode Button: Toggle between 'Fan' mode (circulates air) and 'Cooler' mode (activates evaporative cooling with water).
- Timer Button: Set the operational timer for up to 7 hours. Each press typically increases the timer by one hour.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air cooler.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Water Tank Cleaning: Empty and clean the water tank regularly, especially if the cooler is not used for an extended period. This prevents mold and mildew growth. Use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
