Information about the device

Description of the device
The air cooler lowers the room temperature to a comfortable degree by ventilating cooling.
The device is filled with cold water or optionally with ice cubes and /or ice packs in order to cool down the incoming warm air at the filter and to blow out the cold air thus generated via the fan. Besides its cooling function, the device can also be used for air freshening: thanks to an integrated and the filter’ honeycomb structure, the sucked-in air is filtered.
The fan speed can be set to three stages.
The discharge direction of the cooled air can be manually adjusted via the ventilation flaps as well as optionally selectable automatic swing mode.
The device has a night mode enabling ultra-silent operation at bedtime.
The device can be operated via the control panel at the device or via the infrared remote control.
Moreover, using the timer function, the device can be switched off automatically with time delay.
The device is equipped with overheating protection that switches off the air cooler in case.
