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 out of direct sunlight.
CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
• The appliance is supplied with three Honeycomb Cooling Media pads.
• The Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear and Side Grills. Follow Steps 1 to 5 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.
