HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

The device does not require installation.

Place the unit on a flat and stable surface and connect the power cable to an appropriate power socket (220-240V ~): the

appliance can be started by pressing the ON / OFF button: the unit goes into stand-by -by, it emits two beeps and the

white LED located above the ON / OFF button is always on during operation.

To move the device use the handle on the back. Do not use this cooler in an area with high humidity, rich in dust or with a

temperature above 40 ° C.

This product can be used, with 3 modes (Normal, Natural, and Sleep) and 3 possible ventilation speeds (low,

medium, high), both as a fan and as a cooler / humidifier: in this case, the rear tank must be filled with demineralized

water, without exceeding the maximum limit indicated on the front of the appliance through a transparent window. When

the water level is below the minimum level, the water pump cannot draw water from the tank, so it stops or does not start.

An acoustic signal and a light alarm will sound (the Cool / Humidifier button LED lights up), to remind you that there is not

enough water.

The unit does not stop working, only the water pump stops working, then the "cooling / humidification" function is stopped,

while the ventilation continues.

At the end of use, always empty the internal tank, simply by removing the cap from the lower hole and placing a basin

underneath to collect the residual water.

The fan sucks air from the environment and passes it through the anti-dust filter and the evaporative panel, which is kept

constantly humidified thanks to a system that draws water from the tank and sprays it on the panel. The incoming hot air

evaporates part of the water which is soaked in the panel and is returned to a cooler environment, producing a decrease

in the perceived temperature.

Below is the operating diagram of the Natural mode according to the fan speed set:

- Modalità Sleep: the unit works alternating periods at low, medium or high speed according to a pre-defined program

and accordingly the selected fan speed; in this mode, the corresponding LED on the control panel is

High speed and sleeping mode on: The unit operates at high ventilation speed for 30 minutes, then switches to

medium ventilation speed for 30 minutes, then continues to operate at low ventilation speed.

Medium speed and sleeping mode on: The unit operates at medium ventilation speed for 30 minutes, then continues

to operate at low ventilation speed.

Low speed and sleeping mode on: The unit works constantly in low ventilation speed.

The corresponding LEDs will light up according to the operational ventilation speed

TIMER BUTTON

With the unit on, press this button to select the appliance operation interval.

Press the ON / OFF button, the LED "1H" (1 hour) lights up, press this button repeatedly to select the interval: Led_1H

→Led_2H →Led_1H + 2H →Led_4H →Led_1H + 4H →Led_2H + 4H →Led_1H + 2H + 4H →all off →1H, up to a

The corresponding LED on the control panel lights up. To deactivate the function, press this button again.

DETECTION FUNCTION and RAPID DETECTION OF THE WATER LEVEL IN THE TANK

When the unit is started in cooling mode, it generally takes 50 seconds to detect any lack of water in the tank: at this point an

acoustic signal is emitted and a light alarm indicates the lack of water; the water pump stops and therefore also the cooling

function.

The "quick water level detection function" takes only 8 seconds: after switching on, within 10 seconds, press and hold the

"cooling / humidification" button for 3 seconds; the unit is able to immediately detect the presence of water in the tank. If

there is not enough water, it signals the lack of water with a 5-second beep.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

THE TANK MUST BE FILLED WITH DEMINERALIZED WATER FOR THE APPLIANCE TO

OPERATE IN COOLER/HUMIDIFIER MODE.

Before turning on the appliance, remove the two lateral tank locks by turning them, and extract the tank located in the

back of the appliance. Add demineralized water directly to the water tank. Fill the tank up to the maximum limit indicated,

it will be possible to view the water level through a transparent window, located on the front panel of the unit. Once the

tank has been filled, put it back in its place and reposition the tank locks.

If you want to keep the temperature of the water in the tank below the ambient temperature for a long time, in order to

favor cooling in the hottest season, add one of two tablets of synthetic ice supplied to the water in the tank, after having

left it in the freezer for the time necessary for its complete consolidation. Ice absorbs heat from water.

Continuous use of ice is recommended to optimize the cooling capacity.

It is possible that the first time you use it, you will notice a perfume or the water takes on a particular color: there are no

health risks.
