CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
Below are instructions on how to clean and maintain your air cooler. If the cooler will not be used for a
long period of time, please refer to the STORAGE & MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES located in the
separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect from the power outlet.
Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug
located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level and drain it completely.
Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive
elements or chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place our of direct sunlight.
CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Honeycomb Cooling
Media.
The Honeycomb Cooling Media is located inside the Rear
Grill. See Figure 1 for instructions on how to remove
them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the
tank. You must empty the water tank and refill with fresh
water, especially if the tank has not been cleaned in a
long time.
The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb media
depends on local air and water conditions. In areas
where the mineral content of water is high, mineral
deposits may build up on the Honeycomb Cooling Media
and restrict air flow. Draining the water tank and refilling
with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce
mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the
Honeycomb Cooling Media, the media should be
removed and washed under fresh water. The media
should be cleaned every two months or sooner,
depending on your needs.
For best results allow the Honeycomb Cooling Media to
dry after each use by turning off the cool function 15
minutes before turning the unit off.
