Press the [snowflake symbol] button again to turn off the Cool Function.

Warning: When using the COOL function, water must be added to the tank and topped up regularly to avoid damage to the water pump. NEVER activate this function without water in the tank.

Warning: When using the COOL function operation, the cooler should never be moved. Moving the product whilst in use may cause water to spill or enter the electrical components of the unit, damage the product, or cause serious injury.

Warning: If adding ice packs, please leave the water level of the water tank just below the "MAX" level.

How to use ice packs

Ice packs can assist and make the temperature of the water in the water tank cooler, this assists the air cooler blowing out cooler air than normal.

• When filling the ice packs with water, only fill them 3/4 to allow for expansion when the water freezes. Put the ice packs in the freezer.
• You can then add an ice pack to the bottom tank or even one to the top tank for better cooling effects.
