Control Panel and Display  
Note: the buttons on the remote control have the same functionality as those on the main control  
panel  
x ON/OFF- this button turns the unit power on or off  
x TIMER- each time this button is pressed, the digit in the middle of the display  
increments up by 1. The digit in the display corresponds to the amount of time (in  
hours) that the unit will run before shutting itself off. If you do not select a timer  
setting, the unit will run continuously  
x WATER - this button turns on or off the cooling, humidifying, and air cleaning  
function. When the “COOLER/HUMIDIFIER” light on the control panel is lit, the  
unit pumps water from its reservoir over the fabric water curtain. As air is drawn past  
this water, the endothermic effects of evaporation result in cooling. Additionally,  
particulate matter and smoke from the air will be “washed” out of the air and into the  
water reservoir.  
x SWING- this button turns on or off the oscillation function. When the unit oscillates,  
the base remains still and the upper part of the tower turns back and forth, directing  
airflow around the room  
x SPEED- this button adjusts the speed. There are three speed settings for airflow. Note  
that when the unit is initially turned on, it starts on medium speed and changes to low  
speed automatically  
x MODE- this button toggles the airflow functions. There are three functions:  
o Normal/manual- this mode, represented by three horizontal wavy lines, allows  
you to manually set the airflow speed  
o Natural/variable- this mode, represented by a mountain, automatically shifts  
the airflow speeds between the three settings  
o Sleep- this mode, represented by “ZZZ”, operates like the Normal/manual  
mode, but the airflow speed gradually decreases over a period of 1-2 hours,  
and the unit eventually turns itself off. The higher the initial airflow setting,  
the longer the unit runs before shutting off, and the greater the different  
airflow speeds the unit cycles through prior to shutting off  
 
Unpacking and first using the unit  
x Carefully open the box(es) and take the unit out. Remove all packing/plastic bags, etc.  
x Set the unit upright  
x Plug the unit in  
x Open the water port and fill the unit with water. Do not over-fill the unit.  
x Close the water port door  
x Turn the unit on with the ON/OFF button and select your desired settings  
Note: the unit includes two ice boxes. To use them to boost the cooling of the unit, freeze them.  
Then put them into the unit’s water reservoir. You may use them one at a time or concurrently.  
Draining the unit  
x If you ever need to drain the unit, first make sure the unit is in an appropriate place  
for drainage  
x Remove the drain plug from the rear of the unit  
x Allow the water to drain out  
x Reinstall the drain plug  
Cleaning  
x Pre-filter- depending on the environment, the pre-filter may require cleaning every  
two weeks to every two months or more. The easiest way to clean the pre-filter is to  
vacuum it with a brush attachment.  
If the pre-filter is exceptionally dirty, you may remove it from the unit (unplug the  
unit first) and wash it in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse it thoroughly and allow  
it to dry completely before reinstalling.  
The dirtier the air filter is, the less airflow the unit can project.  
x Fabric water curtain- this should also be cleaned every two weeks to every two  
months, again depending upon the environment. Unplug the unit, remove the pre-  
filter, and gently remove the fabric water curtain (it should pull off the fastening  
strips). Wash it in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to  
dry completely before reinstalling.  
Clean the frame on which the water curtain rests with a mild soap and water solution  
before reinstalling the fabric water curtain.  
x Water tank- depending on the environment, the water tank may require cleaning  
every two weeks to every two months or more. If the tank becomes dirty, mildewy, or  
acquires hard water deposits, unplug the unit, remove the water port door and  
carefully clean the inside of the tank with a soft cloth and a mild soap and water  
solution. Rinse out the solution and drain the unit as best you can, but take care not to  
get any of the unit’s electronics wet.  
You can also rinse the water tank with a solution of 2 tablespoons vinegar in ½ gallon  
of water.  
x Exterior of the unit- unplug the unit. Carefully wash it with a mild soap and water  
solution and a soft cloth. Dry the unit with a soft cloth.  
 
Troubleshooting  
The air cooler is not functioning at all.  
x First, move the air cooler to another outlet, and test the outlet with a voltage tester or  
another appliance that is known to be non-defective. If the outlet is bad, contact an  
electrician and move the air cooler to another outlet.  
x There could be insufficient amperage in the power circuit to start the unit. Check your  
fuses (refer to the rating label on the back of the unit for Amp draw).  
Can I put both ice packs in the water reservoir at the same time?  
x Yes  
Is there a difference between the "Cooling" and Humidifying" modes?  
x There is only a "Cooler/humidifier" mode- this mode cools, humidifies, and washes the  
air.  
If the unit runs out of water, is it okay to still run the "Cooler/humidifier" mode?  
x If the unit runs out of water, the pump will never kick on, and the "Cooler/humidifier"  
mode will never activate.  
The unit does not seem to be cooling.  
x This unit is a portable air cooler, not an air conditioner. It will lower the temperature of  
its airflow by up to 12 degrees F. However, it is for spot cooling only- the unit will have  
no effect on the ambient temperature in the room.  
The unit does not seem to be cooling the airflow by 12 degrees F.  
x This unit cools the airflow up to 12 degrees F. Actual cooling will depend on ambient  
conditions. For example, the lower the ambient humidity, the more pronounced the  
cooling will be.  
The control panel is getting hot .  
x There is no danger here. Use the remote control if necessary.  
The unit is leaking.  
x Make sure the drain plug is properly installed.  
x Find the source of the leak.  
o If the unit is leaking from the bottom along the circular edge, the rubber seal is  
not properly seated. Remove the screws from the bottom and remove the base.  
Make sure the seal is in the groove properly. Reinsert the base and its screws.  
Contact customer service for more assistance at 866-319-5473.  
o Pick up the unit and look underneath for drips of water or a crack in the pan. If  
you find damage, contact the retailer as this is a shipping related issue.  
o If the unit is "spitting water" from the front of the unit, either turn down the fan  
speed or turn off the cooler/humidifier setting- in a high humidity environment,  
the unit may not be able to evaporate all the water into the air while the unit is set  
on high.  
The unit has oil on the outside.  
o Some oil on the outside is not abnormal. A little oil may have seeped out from the  
oscillating ball bearings, but can just be cleaned off with a paper towel.
