Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | No power, power button not pressed. | Check power cord connection. Press the Power button. |
| No cool air. | Water tank empty, Cool function not activated, high humidity. | Fill water tank. Press the Cool button. Evaporative coolers are less effective in high humidity. |
| Water leakage. | Overfilled water tank, unit not level, internal component issue. | Do not overfill past MAX line. Ensure unit is on a level surface. If leakage persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Weak airflow. | Blocked air filter, low fan speed. | Clean the air filter. Increase fan speed using the Speed button. |
| Unusual noise. | Obstruction in fan, unit not stable. | Check for foreign objects. Ensure unit is on a stable surface. |
