BATTERY WARNING

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF

CHILDREN

Swallowing can lead to chemical burns,

perforation of soft tissue, and death.

Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of

ingestion. Seek medical attention

immediately.

• If the battery compartment (if applicable) does not close securely, stop using the

product and keep it away from children.

• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the

body, seek immediate medical attention

THERE MAY BE NO OBVIOUS SYMPTOMS OF BATTERY

INGESTION

Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s

oesophagus (food pipe). There are no specific symptoms associated with this.

The child might:

• Cough, gag, or drool a lot;

• Appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;

• Be sick;

• Point to their throat or stomach;

• Have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;

• Be tired or lethargic;

• Be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;

• Lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and

• Not want to eat solid food / be unable to eat solid food.

These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then

subsiding.

A specific symptom of button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red)

blood. If the child does this, seek immediate medical help.

The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare

button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

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 should be

50cm.

• Please ensure that the water in the water tank does not exceed the MAX level and does

not fall below MIN while in operation.

• Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters 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 used.

• Empty and clean the air cooler before storage. Clean the air cooler before the next use.

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 water

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 water tank. Doors and windows

should be open to allow free airflow. 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 Honeycomb cooling filter will have an

odour; this should dissipate within a week of use.

• Be aware that high humidity levels may encourage the growth of biological organisms in

the environment.

and clean the water tank, especially if the unit will not be used for an extended period.

1. Switch off and unplug the air cooler from the main power supply.

2. Move the unit to where water can be safely drained (e.g. near a floor drain or outside).

3. Locate the drain nut at the lower rear section of the unit.

4. Unscrew the drain nut slowly to allow water to begin draining.

5. Tilt the unit slightly forward or to the side to ensure all water is fully emptied from the

tank.

6. Once drained, leave the drain outlet open for a few minutes to allow residual moisture to

evaporate.

7. Wipe down the interior of the tank with a soft cloth if needed.

8. Securely reattach the drain nut before using or storing the unit.

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 any 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 underside 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 any 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.

Page 12 of 14

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 FILTER PADS

The appliance is supplied with a set of honeycomb cooling/filter 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.

Replacement filters can be purchased for this unit under model: Arctic25ER-honeycomb

END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE

1. Empty the tank and wipe it with warm soapy water.

2. Dry the tank and clean the Honeycomb pads

3. Store any Icepack you may use in the water tank

4. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
