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

~50Hz): the appliance can be started by pressing the ON / OFF button: the unit goes into stand-by -by, it emits two beeps.

To move the appliance 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, remove the internal tank from its seat and always empty it.

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.
