COOLING

The appliance is able to cool the air ﬂow by adding cold water in the water tank. Create additional cool air by placing a frozen

cooling element in the water in the water tank. The appliance is supplied with two cooling elements, so you can use them

alternately and the appliance is able to cool continuously.

Caution: only use this mode when the water tank is provided with fresh cold water.

key, up to a maximum of 7½ hours.

If, for example, you want to set the air cooler for 5½ hours, you must press down this key until the indicator lights

0.5h + 1h + 4h = 5½ hours light up.

All indicator lights switch off when the entire programme has been completed.

If you want to stop the timer mode or set a new time, you must continue to press the timer key until all indicator lights are off.

When the appliance is on, the timer can be used to switch off the appliance automatically at the required time within the

range from 30 minutes to 7½ hours.

Turn the lock lever of the tank to a horizontal position and carefully pull the water

tank out of the appliance to ﬁll it. Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and make

sure that the water level in the water tank does not exceed the maximum level (MAX).

If you place a frozen cooling element in the water tank, make sure the water level does

not exceed the maximum level.

Place the water tank back in the original position and turn the lock lever to the vertical

position.

• Switch on the appliance using the ON/OFF key.

• The indicator light for the lowest speed

lights up.

• Press the mode key COOLER/HUMIDIFY. The indicator light lights up red.

• Change the ventilation speed with each press on the button SPEED: low, medium or high.

Extra instructions

or air humidiﬁcation mode.

HUMIDIFICATION

The appliance is able to humidify the indoor air and thus create a healthy living environment. For a healthy indoor

living climate, the air humidity should be between 40% and 60%. If the air humidity is lower, use the appliance with

the mode HUMIDIFY

.

Caution: only use this mode when the water tank is provided with fresh cold water.

Turn the lock lever of the tank to a horizontal position and carefully pull the water tank out of the appliance to ﬁll it. Fill the water

tank with fresh cold water and make sure that the water level in the water tank does not exceed the maximum level (MAX).

Place the water tank back in the original position and turn the lock lever to the vertical position.

cleaning and maintenance

5

Before cleaning the air cooler, you must switch it off by means of the on/off button and remove the plug from the socket.

Cleaning the exterior

Clean the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge. If necessary, you can clean the exterior of the appliance

by means of a mild washing-up liquid.

• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning the appliance.

• Dry the exterior of the appliance.

• Never submerge the appliance, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

Cleaning the air ﬁlter

In order to allow the air cooler to function as well as possible, we recommend cleaning the air ﬁlter regularly. The air ﬁlter

could get clogged with dust and dirt.

• Unscrew the air ﬁlter at the rear of the appliance and remove it from the appliance.

• Clean the air ﬁlter with a mild detergent in lukewarm water (approx. 40°C). Then properly rinse clean the air ﬁlter with

clean water and allow it to dry in the air. Do not place the air ﬁlter in the sun or on the heating to dry it.

• Place the air ﬁlter back in the appliance. Check that it is fully dry, before using the air cooler again.

Cleaning the ventilation grilles

In order to allow the air cooler to function as well as possible, you can clean the ventilation grilles by means of a vacuum

cleaner with a soft brush nozzle.

Cleaning the water absorbing ﬁlter

When you have removed the air ﬁlter, you can also remove the water absorbing ﬁlter. Remove the water absorbing ﬁlter from

the holder, clean it with clean water and a soft brush and then carefully place it back in the holder. Do not use detergents,

as they can affect the water absorbing ﬁlter.

Cleaning the water tank

Remove the water tank from the appliance and carefully disconnect the pump from the water tank. Throw away any water

that is still present in the water tank and clean the tank with a soft detergent and warm water. Properly rinse with clean water

and dry. Fasten the pump in the holder again and place the water tank back in the appliance.
