Frequently Asked Questions - ClimateWizard Convair

How do I clean the air filter?

Turn off the unit and unplug it. Remove the front grille, take out the filter, and wash it with lukewarm water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean the filter every two weeks for optimal performance.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

Check the batteries first; replace them if needed. Ensure nothing is blocking the signal between the remote and the unit. If still not working, point the remote directly at the receiver and try again. Use the control panel on the unit as a temporary alternative.

How do I set the timer?

Press the Timer button on the remote or control panel. Use the + and - buttons to set the desired hours (1-24). The timer can turn the unit on or off automatically. Confirm by pressing Timer again or waiting a few seconds.

What does the 'Dry' mode do?

Dry mode runs the fan at low speed and the compressor intermittently to reduce humidity without overcooling the room. It is ideal for damp but not hot conditions.

Why is water dripping from the back of the unit?

Some water is normal; the unit removes humidity from the air. However, if excessive, check that the unit is installed with a slight tilt backward (about 1/4 bubble on a level) so water drains properly outside.

How do I switch between °F and °C?

With the unit powered on, press and hold the '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds. The display will change between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Use the remote or control panel both work.

The unit shows an error code. What does it mean?

Common codes: E1 – room sensor fault; E2 – coil sensor fault; E3 – condenser sensor fault. Turn off the unit, unplug for 5 minutes, then restart. If persist, contact Convair support.

Can I use an extension cord?

No. Do not use an extension cord because it may cause overheating or fire. Plug the unit directly into a grounded outlet that meets the voltage requirements.

How do I store the air conditioner during winter?

Clean the filter and dry the unit thoroughly. Remove it from the window or cover the outdoor part with a waterproof cover. Store in a dry place to avoid mold.

Does the unit have a sleep mode?

Yes. Press the Sleep button to activate. In sleep mode, the temperature increases gradually (usually 2°F over 2 hours) and the fan runs at low speed for quiet operation.

COMPONENT LOCATION

Front View

Congratulations on purchasing your Convair cooler, manufactured and backed by Convair, a world leader in climate control.

In one compact, lightweight, easy to use and attractive design, the Convair cooler keeps your office or home space clean and cool all year long.

The Convair cooler is a powerful evaporative cooler, that will give you plenty of cool, fresh air. Place the cooler in front of an open door or window so that it is drawing in fresh air. Open a door or window opposite to create flow through ventilation. Ensuring the cooler has adequate ventilation is important in maintaining cooler performance.

Featuring an exclusive High Airflow Filter, the Climate Wizard™ helps filter dust, pet dander, pollen and other contaminants down to 0.3 microns in size, and releases filtered air back into the room.

ASSEMBLY

Handle Assembly

The Climate Wizard and Magicool coolers are supplied with a handle, which can be fitted to the cooler. The Magicool compact is not supplied with a handle.

To attach the handle, simply push it into the slot at the back of the cooler (Fig 01).

The handle has been designed to be a permanent addition to the cooler. Do not attempt to remove the handle once it is fitted.

Once clipped into place, the handle will aid in the manoeuvrability of the cooler around your home or office.

Flip-out Foot

The Magicool cooler is fitted with a flip out foot. Climate Wizard and Magicool compact models do not have this function.

The flip-out foot can be used to increase the angle of the air flow. Hold the cooler firmly at the top and lean it slightly backwards.

Locate the foot at the bottom of the tank and pivot it forward until it locks into place (Fig 02).

Return the cooler to its upright position, so it is resting, at the front, on the flip-out foot. You should now notice the cooler angled back slightly, increasing the height of the air flow.

1. Place the cooler in front of an open window or door so that it is drawing in fresh air.

2. Pour clean water into the opening at the back of the cooler (Fig 03).

The water capacity of the cooler is 13 litres. The minimum amount of water required to operate the pump is 1.9 litres. No damage occurs to the cooler when it is operated without water.

1. Fill the cooler with water until the water reaches the maximum fill level indicated at the rear of the cooler (Fig 03). Do not overfill the cooler as water will spill on the floor.

2. Refill the cooler with clean water whenever the water level in the window appears low (Fig 04).

OPERATING THE COOLER cont.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with internal structure and mounting base (no text or symbols)

1. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the room by leaving a door or window opposite the cooler.open

2. Plug the cord into the power outlet and turn the power on.

3. Turn the cool knob ( ⚙️) to the "cool" position (Fig 05).

1. Turn the fan ( ) on to the desired speed (Fig 06). Maximum cooling capacity will not be reached until the cooling pad is completely saturated. This may take several minutes.

1. If the desired comfort level is not achieved after this time, increase the fan speed. Lower fan speeds provide quieter operation.

2. If the room becomes too cool or too humid, turn the cool knob (※) off and/or turn the fan knob (⊕) to a lower setting.

3. To turn your cooler off, simply turn the fan knob (⊕) off.

Your cooler is fully operational when you receive it, and is ready to provide hours of efficient cooling.

As with many new items, your cooler may have a 'new' cooler odour when first used. This may persist for 4-8 hours, but will fade with use.

To assist with this process, you can drain the water tank and refill with clean water after approx. 12 hour.

How to get the best cooling performance

Place the cooler with its back near to an open window or door so it can draw in 100% fresh air.

Open another window or door on the opposite side of the room for "flow through" ventilation. This cooler will not cool properly in a closed room (Fig 7).

MAINTENANCE

Warning! Ensure the cooler is switched off and the plug is removed from the power socket before performing any maintenance.

To clean the exterior of the cooler, use a damp cloth and mild household detergent.

At the end of each season it is advisable to carry out some simple maintenance on your cooler. This will help maintain its high performance. Follow the next few steps.

1. Drain the water from the cooler. Move the cooler to a drain and remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the tank (Fig 08). When the cooler is empty replace the plug in the tank.

1. For Climate Wizard coolers only, clean or replace the filter every three months, or sooner as required. The filter can be vacuumed or cleaned with water, however, to maintain maximum performance it is recommended that the filter be replaced. To remove the filter, disengage the filter cartridge clips (Fig 11) at the top rear of the cooler while lifting the cartridge up and outwards.
