Cooling Mechanism
The Auertech Evaporative Air Cooler utilizes advanced motor technology for rapid cooling. Hot, dry air is drawn into the unit, passes through moistened cooling pads, and is then released as a crisp, refreshing breeze. This process involves efficient heat dissipation and energy conversion.

Oscillation and Louver Adjustment
The unit features 120° wide-angle automatic oscillation to distribute air evenly. You can also manually adjust the vertical louvers to direct airflow as needed.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your evaporative air cooler.
1. Cleaning the Water Tank
Empty and clean the water tank regularly, especially if the unit is not used daily, to prevent mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
2. Cleaning/Replacing Filter Pads
The evaporative cooler uses filter pads (cooling pads) that may accumulate dust and mineral deposits over time. Periodically inspect these pads. If they appear dirty or airflow is reduced, clean them according to the instructions provided with the pads, or replace them if necessary. Refer to the manufacturer's website or customer support for replacement parts.
3. Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4. Storage
Before storing the unit for an extended period, ensure the water tank is completely empty and dry. Clean all components. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | No power supply. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. |
| No cool air / Air is not cold enough. | Water tank is empty or low. Cooling mode not activated. High humidity environment. Ice packs not used or frozen. | Fill the water tank. Select "Cooling" mode. Evaporative coolers are less effective in high humidity; consider using as a fan. Ensure ice packs are frozen and placed in the tank. |
| Weak airflow. | Fan speed is too low. Air inlets/outlets blocked. Filter pads are dirty. | Increase fan speed. Ensure no obstructions around the unit. Clean or replace filter pads. |
| Unpleasant odor. | Stagnant water or dirty tank/pads. | Empty and clean the water tank thoroughly. Clean or replace filter pads. Use fresh water. |
| Water leakage. | Water tank overfilled. Unit not on a level surface. | Do not exceed the MAX fill line. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Auertech customer support.
