PACKAGE CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
The Personal Evaporative Cooler uses a built-in fan plus the scientific principles of evaporation to create a natural cooling effect, without harmful chemicals. The amount of cooling will depend on two factors: the indoor humidity and the current room temperature.For example:
- At 30% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 77°F, the air output temperature will be 60°F
- At 40% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 77°F, the air output temperature will be 62°F
- At 30% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 86°F, the air output temperature will be 66°F
- At 40% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 86°F, the air output temperature will be 69°F
- At 30% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 95°F, the air output temperature will be 72°F
- At 40% indoor humidity and a room temperature of 95°F, the air output temperature will be 75.5°F
The Personal Evaporative can operate with or without water. However, it will only cool the air if there is water in the tank. If there is no water in the tank, this device will operate as a fan only, circulating room temperature air. In addition to the fan and cooling functions, this device can also be used as a night light, humidifier and aromatherapy diffuser.Tip: For maximum cooling, fill the tank with ice cold water. You can also add ice cubes if you like.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
METHOD 1:
- Hold the two top sides of the water tank and lift it upwards with your hands.
- Open the lid and fill the tank from a faucet.
- Replace the lid and replace the tank by sliding it back into place, following the built-in grooves.
METHOD 2:
- While the tank is still attached to the device, open the lid of the water tank.
- Using a bottle or cup, fill the water tank.
- Replace the lid of the water tank.
GETTING STARTED
- After the tank has been filled, place the device on a flat, level surface. Plug the device into an AC outlet. At this time, the screen display will be in OFF/STANDBY mode. Keep the device in OFF/STANDBY mode for 15 minutes. This will allow the Cooling Pad to become saturated with water. Do not fill the tank without the Cooling Pad in place.Tip: after the Cooling Pad is saturated, refill the tank to increase the run time by approximately 2 hours
- Place the device 1.5 to 3 feet away from the user, at a 45° angle. Short press the POWER button to activate the device.
- Rotate the louver control knob to adjust the direction of the air output.
