| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | No power supply; power button not pressed. | Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working outlet. Press the Power button on the control panel or remote. |
| No cool air/Insufficient cooling. | Water tank empty; cooling function not activated; ice packs not used/frozen; high humidity in environment. | Fill the water tank. Activate the Cooling function. Use frozen ice packs. Evaporative coolers are most effective in dry climates. |
