Warranty Information
Refer to the Safety & Maintenance Guide and User Manual for warranty details.
Power: Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. The cooler will start automatically at medium speed, then switch to low. Press again to turn off.
Mode: Select NORMAL (High, Medium, Low fan speeds), NATURAL (alternating speeds for a natural breeze), or SLEEP (airflow varies randomly for night comfort).
Speed: Press SPEED to cycle through HIGH, MED, LOW fan speeds.
Timer: Set desired time duration for automatic shut-off (up to 8 hours).
Swing: Press SWING to activate automatic left-to-right louver movement. Vertical airflow can be manually adjusted.
Cool: Press COOL to activate evaporative cooling. The water pump operates, and cooler air is produced after the Honeycomb Cooling Media is wet. In fan-only mode, the COOL indicator is off.
Room Cooling and Humidifying: Evaporative cooling produces cool, moist air. The Water Regulator knob adjusts water flow to the Honeycomb Cooling Media for optimal cooling and humidification. Set to MIN for less evaporation and cooling; set to MAX for maximum evaporation and cooling.
Remote Control: Requires AAA batteries. Aim transmitter at the unit. Functions include POWER, SPEED, COOL, SWING, TIMER, and MODE.
Cooler Location: Position for optimal cross-ventilation, preferably near an open door or window. Not for use in enclosed spaces or bathrooms. Outdoors models are IPX4 rated, not for heavy rain/snow.
Filling with Water: Unplug unit. Open Water Fill Door. Refill tank to MAX level; ensure water is above MIN for COOL function. Ice can be added to the ice compartment for enhanced cooling.
Low Water Alarm: Beeping sound and flashing indicator light in COOL mode when water is low. Unit pauses cooling. Refill tank to deactivate. Fan-only mode does not trigger the alarm.
Cleaning & Draining: Drain and refill tank weekly. Clean with a damp cloth. For storage, dry the unit (Fan Only mode 30 min), unplug, drain tank, clean, and store in a dry place. Clean Honeycomb Cooling Media and Carbon Dust Filter (if applicable) regularly, at least every two months or as needed.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
| No discharge of air. | Cord is not plugged in. | Make sure power cord is plugged in and the switch is ON. |
| Not Cooling / Unit is making noise. | Power is not ON. | Turn the unit ON by pressing the power button on the control panel or remote control. |
| Pump is not turned ON. | Turn on COOL function from remote or control panel. | |
| Low or no water in tank, when COOL is selected. | Refill water tank. | |
| Damaged Pump or Calcium deposits on blower. | Contact Customer Service Center. | |
| Excessive humidity in the room. | In cooling mode, the Air Cooler produces moisture as a result of evaporative cooling. This is normal. | The Air Cooler cools best in dry climates. If the ambient humidity level is high (60% or above), refrain from using the Air Cooler until ambient humidity is reduced. Make sure the window/doors are open and there is adequate cross-ventilation in the room so that the moisturized air can circulate better. Do not use the evaporative cooling function on days with high ambient humidity. |
| Odors. | When the Cooler is new. | When the unit is used for the first time, the Honeycomb Cooling Media will have an odor, which will dissipate within a few hours of initial use. |
| Algae or mold due to moist parts. In very damp conditions, algae may form. | Check the Honeycomb Cooling Media. If you see mold spots on the media or suspect an algae issue, remove and replace the Honeycomb Cooling Media. Contact the Customer Service Center for more information. Check water tank & other cooler parts. If you see mold spots or suspect an algae issue, use a damp cloth to wipe away the algae until all spots have disappeared. Make sure all parts are clean & dry before storage. Contact the Customer Service Center if problem persists. | |
| Remote control does not work. | Remote control batteries are old & used or inserted incorrectly in the battery compartment. | Replace with new batteries. Follow the polarity guide inside the battery compartment. |
| Damaged remote control. | If replacing new batteries in the correct position does not work, contact the Customer Service Center. | |
| The unit does not respond. | Damaged Control Panel on unit. | Try to activate the unit with the Remote Control. If the unit responds, then the Control Panel on the unit may be experiencing problems - contact the Customer Service Center. If neither the Remote Control or the Control Panel is working, contact the Customer Service Center. |
| The outdoor Air Cooler is wet from rain. | The Air Cooler was placed outdoors (this is only allowed for outdoor Air Cooler models) and soaked by heavy rain. | A small amount of rain on the unit is not a problem as long as the electrical plug and outlet are dry. If they are wet, DO NOT touch the unit or electrical plug/outlet. Switch off the master power for the outlet before unplugging the unit from the electrical outlet. Make sure all outlets and plugs are dry before use. The Air Cooler is designed to IPX4 product standards and not recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain conditions. Do not operate the Air Cooler when wet. Wait for the Air Cooler to dry before plugging in and turning on the unit again. |
