Setup
1. Unboxing and Inspection:
Carefully remove the air cooler from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components listed in the packing list are present. The package should include the air cooler unit and a user manual.
2. Wheel Installation:
Attach the four castor wheels to the designated slots at the bottom of the air cooler. Ensure they are securely fastened for easy mobility. Some wheels may include a brake lock mechanism; ensure these are engaged when the cooler is stationary.

3. Water Filling:
Locate the water inlet on the side or top of the cooler. Fill the water tank with clean, fresh water up to the 'MAX' indicator level. Do not overfill. The cooler has a 40-litre tank capacity.

4. Power Connection:
Plug the power cord into a standard 230V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch on the cooler is in the 'OFF' position before plugging in.
Operating Instructions
1. Control Panel Overview:
The HAVAI GT 12 features a knob control system located on the top panel. The controls typically include settings for Fan Speed, Pump, and Swing function.

2. Powering On and Fan Speed:
Turn the main power knob to the 'ON' position. Select your desired fan speed (Low, Medium, High) using the speed control knob. The cooler offers 3 speed options.
3. Activating Cooling (Pump):
To initiate cooling, turn on the 'Pump' function. This will circulate water over the honeycomb pads, allowing for evaporative cooling. Ensure the water tank has sufficient water before activating the pump.
4. Activating Swing Function:
Turn on the 'Swing' function to enable the oscillating louvers. This distributes cool air more widely across the room, covering an area of up to 200 square feet with a 15ft air throw.

5. Enhancing Cooling with Ice:
For enhanced cooling performance, especially in very hot conditions, you can add ice cubes directly into the water tank or the dedicated ice chamber (if available) on the top of the unit. This lowers the water temperature, resulting in cooler air output.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air cooler.
1. Water Tank Cleaning:
Drain the water tank completely every few days or when not in use for an extended period to prevent algae and bacterial growth. Use the drain plug located at the bottom/rear of the unit. Clean the tank with a mild detergent and water, then rinse thoroughly.
2. Honeycomb Pad Cleaning:
The three-side honeycomb pads should be cleaned periodically, especially if you notice reduced cooling efficiency or unpleasant odors. Carefully remove the pads (refer to diagrams if available in a physical manual) and rinse them under running water to remove dust and mineral deposits. For stubborn deposits, soak them in a solution of water and mild descaling agent.
3. Exterior Cleaning:
Wipe the exterior surfaces, including the glass top, with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
4. Seasonal Storage:
Before storing the cooler for an off-season, ensure the water tank is completely drained and dry. Clean all components thoroughly. Store the unit in a dry, dust-free place, preferably covered to protect it from dust accumulation.
