USE & OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CLEANING THE MESH FILTER AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect the power adapter from the unit and
electrical socket.
• The appliance is supplied with a Mesh Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
•
The Mesh Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media are 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.
Removing the Mesh Filter and Honeycomb Frame
with Honeycomb Cooling Media:
1. Carefully pull out the Rear Grill / Mesh Filter from
the cooler.
2. Rinse the Rear Grill / Mesh Filter with clean water
and let it dry before re-installing to the unit.
3. Carefully pull out the Honeycomb Media from
the Honeycomb Frame.
4. Replace or clean media with water and a damp
cloth as needed.
WARNING: DO NOT operate the Air Cooler when
the Rear Grill is removed from the Air Cooler,
or if there is a loose-fitting Rear Grill. Doing so
can cause serious injury or dangerous electrical
shock.
