ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance, the minimum distance from a wall or object s should be 50cm.
• Please make sure, while in operation, the water in the water tank does not exceed the MAX level
and does not fall below MIN.
• Keep the cooling pad clean. Under normal conditions, cooling pad should only need cleaning
once every three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more
frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.
• In order to achieve maximum efficiency, please place the unit near an open door or window.
Evaporative air coolers work with an evaporative cooling mechanism, which requires cross -
ventilation .
• This unit will lose efficiency if the relative humidity in the room exceeds 60%
• The ambient operating temperature range is from 5°C to 40°C.
If used in low temperatures (as a humidifier), the water tank should be filled with warm (but not
hot) water.
• Never leave water in the reservoir when the appliance is not in use .
• Empty and clean the air cooler before storage , and c lean it again before the next use.
FEATURES
• 3‑speed fan – low, medium or high for customised airflow and comfort.
• Oscillating Swing – distributes air evenly across the room for efficient cooling.
• Cooling Function – provides refreshing air for hot days.
• Wheels – for effortless mobility.
• Ideal for Spot Cooling – suitable for rooms or spaces that cannot be sealed or traditionally air -conditioned.
• Air Cool ing mode designed for well-ventilated rooms .
• Enhanced c ooling pad for improved cooling .
• Easy to use controls .
• Powerful air throw with a directional swing for faster cooling .

HOW EVAPORATIVE COOLERS WORK
This air cooler uses the natural process of water evaporation to reduce air temperature and provide
efficient spot cooling. Inside the unit, water is pumped over a honeycomb cooling pad, saturating
it. When warm air is drawn through the moist pad, the wate r absorbs the heat and evaporates,
resulting in a cooler airflow. This cooled air is then circulated into the room.
• The recommended relative humidity for optimum operation is 60% or lower. A drier climate
makes for more noticeable cooling.
• The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed or sealed spaces. It must be kept level ,
and there must always be water in the tank. Doors and windows should be open to allow
adequate cross -ventilation . The evaporative air cooler works best when placed near an open
window or air current.
• When the product is used for the first time, the air cooler will have an odour; this should dissipate
within a week.
• Be aware that high humidity levels may encourage the mould/ bacterial growth in the
environment.
NOTE: An air cooler is designed to provide cooling comfort, but it does not regulate room
temperature like an air conditioner.

INSTALLATION
This unit can easily be moved from one room to another. While moving the unit , please note that it
must always be kept upright and placed on an even surface.
• Remove any packaging - keeping the air cooler in a vertical position.
• Make sure all parts are present and the unit is assembled correctly.
• WATER TANK: Fill the water tank through the front filling door with water or through the top tank
with water or ice, ensuring the main tank does not exceed the MAX level.
• Connect the power plug to a working socket, then press the power button.
FITTING THE CASTOR WHEELS
•
Carefully turn the unit upside down and place it on a soft surface to prevent damage.
•
Position each castor over the mounting points on the base of the unit, aligning the pre -drilled
holes on the castor with the screw holes on the underside of the air cooler.
•
Secure each castor using four screw s, tightening them evenly to ensure a firm and stable fit.
•
Install the two locking castors on the same side of the unit, preferably at the front, for easy
access and improved stability. To engage the locking castor, push down on the brake tab until it
clicks into place. To release, lift the tab back up.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
ATTENTION: Please turn off the appliance and disconnect from the mains before filling the
water tank.
Before turning on the cooling function, please add water to the tank. The appliance
can not be used without water in air cooling mode.
Only use clean tap water, and do not fill the water beyond the maximum water level
located at the lower front of the air cooler.
To fill water, there are two options. The first is to open the cover
plate, as shown in the diagram , and pour in clean water slowly.
The second is to open the front water -filling door, as shown in the
diagram , and fill the tank with water.
Page 9 of 13
This machine also features an automatic water -filling system. The
internal float switch automatically opens or closes to control water
flow based on the water level .
NOTE: It is completely normal and not harmful if the device emits a slight odour or the water in the
tank appears slightly discoloured during first -time use. This should dissipate within a week.
USING THE REUSABLE ICE BOX
1. Unscrew the cap and fill the ice box with water to the
indicated fill line.
2. Securely tighten the cap.
3. Let the ice box sit for 30 –40 minutes to allow the ice
crystals to fully absorb the water.
4. Place the ice box in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
5. Once frozen, insert the ice box into the cooler's designated ice
compartment on the top tank to help cool the circulating water.
6. The gel inside may become soft or jelly -like after prolonged use.
Simply refreeze the ice box before the next use. The ice box is reusable and recyclable.

IMPORTANT:
• Always empty the tank before storing the cooler for long periods.
• Regular draining helps prevent bacterial build -up and unpleasant odours.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: Please turn off the appliance and disconnect from the mains before cleaning or
performing maintenance.
CLEANING THE SURFACE
• Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
• Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible
damage.
• Make sure no water enters the control panel.
• Do not permit the area around the air cooler to become damp or wet. If dampness occurs, turn the
output of the air cooler down. If the air cooler output volume cannot be turned down, use the air
cooler intermittently. Do not allow absorbent materials, such as carpeting, curtains, drapes, or
tablecloths, to be damp.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
• Unplug the appliance, then remove the screws securing the rear filter frame.
• Twist the lugs holding the filter frames to the unit and lift off the filters.
• Unscrew the three screws at the top of the rear honeycomb filter.
• Lift the rear honeycomb filter away from the unit.
• Unclip the side honeycomb filters and remove them from the rear of the unit.
• Drain the tank by removing the bung on the back of the tank.
• With a cloth (dipped in a mild detergent), wipe the water tank and rinse it with water.
• Cleaning the water tank at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits and keep the filters
clean.
• Do not run the unit in cooling mode with stale water in the tank.
• We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water if water has been standing in
the tank for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Failure to periodically clean may result in the growth of mould or bacteria, which can
then be released into the air during operation.

MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING PADS
The appliance is supplied with a set of honeycomb cooling pads. The cleaning frequency for the
honeycomb filters depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of the
water is high (hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the honeycomb filter and restrict airflow.
If mineral deposits remain on the honeycomb pads, the filter should be removed and washed under
fresh water. We recommend cleaning the honeycomb filter at least every two months, depending on
your needs.
For best results, allow the honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off the cooling function
for 15 minutes (with an empty water tank) before turning the unit off.
Unplug the power cord, then Twist the lugs holding the filter frames to the unit and lift off the filters.
Lift the rear honeycomb filter away from the unit. Remove the side honeycomb filters following the
same method. Scrub the honeycomb filter with a mild detergent and a soft brush, clean with water,
and dry. Do not dip in water.
END -OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Dust may build up on the pre -filter and cooling pad over time, reducing airflow and cooling
performance. Clean the unit regularly to maintain proper operation and air quality.
1. Completely empty and gently wash the tank with warm, soapy water.
2. Ensure the tank is fully dry, and carefully vacuum the air inlet and outlet grills.
3. Remove any ice packs and store them separately.
4. Cover the unit and store it in a cool, dry location.
