Allow the unit to dry for 24 hours prior to operating it to minimize the risk of damaging the circuit board. • Do not put any foreign objects into the unit or water reservoir • Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft cloth and a mild soapy water solution only • If the unit becomes noisier as it gets older and/or the airflow becomes less robust, try cleaning the fabric water curtain and pre-filter • Make sure the unit has adequate ventilation around it to ensure airflow both into the rear

For the best cooling performance from your unit, first fill it with water. If ice is available, this will increase its cooling power. Position the unit in a place such that air will be able to “flow through” the area. The greatest cooling effect will be felt if the unit is operated in a partly opened doorway or window with the cooled air directed into the room. If the unit cannot be positioned in an area that will allow the air to “flow through,” it will still cool, but the effect will be lessen
