Scope of Delivery

• 1x Air cooler
• 2x Cooling packs
• 1x User manual

Description of the Unit

The air cooler consists of the following parts:

• Control element
• Air outlet
• Water level indicator
• Water tank
• Grilles
• Water outlet
• Cooling packs

Before First Assembly

Unpacking the Unit

• Open the carton and remove the unit.
• Remove all packaging from the unit.
• Carefully wrap the power cable and ensure it is not damaged.

Assembly

• Place the unit on a level and firm surface to ensure it is stable.
• Maintain a distance of at least 50 cm from walls or other objects.
• Ensure that the air inlet and outlet are unobstructed and not blocked.
• Connect the unit to a grounded socket.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the rubber plug is firmly in the water opening at the back of the unit and closes it so that the water tank cannot leak unintentionally.
2. Fill the water tank to the top of the unit. Open the cover of the upper part of the unit and pour in clean water, checking the level on the front of the water tank:
   • MIN mark: The water tank must be filled above the MIN mark for the pump to work correctly.
   • MAX mark: The water tank must not be filled above the MAX mark, otherwise water may enter the unit and damage electronic components.
3. Ensure that the air cooler is dry on the outside and wipe it if necessary.
4. Close the cover again.

Operation

Controls

• ON/OFF: Switches the unit on and off.
• LOW: Low fan speed.
• MEDIUM: Medium fan speed.
• HIGH: High fan speed.
• SWING: Use the SWING button to activate the oscillation of the unit. The function can be deactivated by pressing the SWING button again.
• COOL: Use the COOL button to activate the cooling function. Ensure the water level indicator is above MIN. As soon as you press the button, the unit draws water through the water filter to generate cool, moist air, which is then blown out by the unit.

Cooling Battery

The scope of delivery includes two cool packs. You can place these in the water tank to achieve an additional cooling effect.

Please observe the following when using the cool packs:

• Fill the connected cool pack with water up to the MAX mark.

• Fill the air cooler with water.
• The MAX mark must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
• Place the cool packs in the compartment at the top of the unit.

Tips for Correct Use

Here are some tips to achieve optimal performance from your air cooler:

• Protect the room from direct sunlight with curtains, blinds, or shutters. This saves energy.
• Do not place the unit where the air outlet is blocked.
• Ensure the air outlet and air inlet grilles are unobstructed.
• Ensure that no heat sources are operating in the room.
• Never use the unit in very humid rooms (e.g., laundry rooms).
• Do not use the unit outdoors.
• Ensure the unit is placed on a level floor and the parking brake is engaged.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Protective Grille

To ensure efficient operation of the air cooler, the protective grille should be cleaned weekly:

1. Switch off the unit before cleaning, wait a few minutes, then unplug the power cable to disconnect the unit from the power supply.
2. Remove the 2 fastening screws on the grille with a screwdriver and remove the grille from the unit.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust from the protective grille.
4. If the protective grille is very dirty, immerse it in hot water and rinse it several times – the water temperature should not exceed 40°C.
5. Allow the protective grille to dry completely before reinserting it into the unit.
6. Reattach the protective grille and secure it with the screws.

Note: Never use the unit without the protective grille.
