Frequently Asked Questions - Evaporative Cooler EV250WH DELONGHI

How does an evaporative cooler work?

An evaporative cooler works by drawing warm air through water-saturated cooling pads. The water evaporates, absorbing heat and cooling the air before it is circulated into the room.

How do I fill the water tank?

Fill the water tank by removing the upper tank or using the top opening. Ensure the water level does not exceed the MAX mark. Use cold tap water; avoid hot water.

How often should I clean the cooling pads?

Clean the honeycomb cooling pads every 2-4 weeks depending on usage and water quality. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry before reinstalling.

Can I use ice for better cooling?

Yes, the cooler has an ice compartment for 2 ice packs. Adding ice enhances the cooling effect, especially in high humidity.

Is the cooler noisy?

The noise level is ≤ 55 dB(A), comparable to a quiet conversation. Lower fan speeds produce less noise.

How do I activate the oscillation?

Press the Oscillation button on the control panel or remote control. The unit will oscillate 90° to distribute air evenly.

What is the recommended room size?

The EV250WH is suitable for rooms up to 25 m² (270 ft²) when used as an evaporative cooler. Performance depends on humidity and ventilation.

Does it have a remote control?

Yes, a remote control is included for convenient operation from a distance. It allows you to adjust fan speed, timer, and oscillation.

How do I clean the water tank?

Empty the tank regularly and wipe it with a damp cloth. For mineral deposits, use a mild vinegar solution (1:1) and rinse thoroughly.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement cooling pads, ice packs, and remote controls are available from DeLonghi authorized dealers or online stores. Use only genuine parts.

• USE OF REMOTE CONTROL: Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the plastic tab (fig. 1). Point the remote control toward the LED display. The maximum operating distance is approx. 6 metres from the receiver.

3.2 Turning the appliance on and off

1. Connect the appliance to a power outlet: the appliance will make an audible signal. The machine is ready for use.
2. Press the key (B1 or D1). The appliance will turn on with the "MED" fan speed and "ionisation" active (fig.2);
3. To turn the appliance off, press the key (B1 or D1).

3.3 Selecting the fan speed

1. Press the key (B2 or D4);
2. Each time the key is pressed, the fan speed changes (MED, MAX, MIN) (fig. 3).

3.4 Cooling/humidification

Prepare the appliance by filling up the water tank.

1. Extract the water tank (fig. 4) and fill it with fresh tap water (MAX 4.5L); take care not to exceed the MAX level visible through the level indicator (A2). The MAX level guarantees 6 hours of appliance use;
2. Re-insert the water tank;
3. Press the key (B3 or D6): the corresponding symbol will light up on the display (fig. 5). The air enters the cooling device and exits cooled, thus helping to reduce the air temperature;

Note:

When this function is used for the first time, the water in the tank may change colour: this is part of the appliance's normal operation.

To improve the performance of the appliance, use the "Ice box" (A11).

1. Fill the "Ice box" with tap water (fig. 6);
2. Place the "Ice box" in the freezer (fig. 7) and leave it there until it freezes;

The appliance can be set to work in 3 different fan modes:

1. NORMAL - Press the key (B2 or D4) to select the fan speed;
2. NATURAL- Press the MODE key once (B4 or D5). The device will run random fan cycles at different speeds, pausing every now and then for a few seconds (fig. 10);
3. SLEEP- Press the MODE key twice (B4 or D5). The appliance will automatically work at MAX speed for 30 minutes, then MED speed for 30 minutes: it will then continue at MIN speed (fig. 11).

3.6 Swing

1. Press the key (B5 or D2) to activate grill rotation (fig. 12): the corresponding symbol will light up on the display;
2. To stop rotation, press the same key again.

Note:

The grill can be vertically tilted by manually adjusting it to direct the air flow (fig. 13): make this adjustment with the grill stopped, without forcing it.

3.7 AUTO-OFF

It is possible to delay shutdown by 1 to 24 hours by pressing the L key (B6 or D3).

1. Press until selecting the number reflecting the desired hours of operation: the number is shown on the display (C1);

Note:

To exit automatic shutdown, press the key (B6 or D3) until setting the numeric value "00": the symbol and "00" will flash. When they turn off, automatic shutdown is cancelled.

4. FILLING THE WATER TANK

Before activating the Cooling/humidification function, always make sure there is water in the tank. If the water finishes during use, the appliance makes an audible signal and the symbol flashes on the display (fig. 15): the device will nonetheless continue to ventilate.

1. Extract the water tank (fig. 4) and fill it with MAX 4.5L of fresh tap water (always use tap water, never overfill the tank): check the water level indicator (A2);

• Never spray insecticides or similar substances: the plastic may be deformed.
• Clean the surfaces of the appliance using a soft cloth, never use abrasive sponges as these may scratch the surface.

5.1 Cleaning the dust filter and honeycomb cooling pad

Clean the dust filter regularly. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the frequency of use: if used daily, it is recommended to clean the filter every week.

• Extract the dust filter and cooling pad (fig. 17);
• Remove any dust from the filters using a vacuum cleaner (fig. 18);
• Wash the cooling pad thoroughly with water; then leave it to completely dry and re-insert the filters in their housing (fig. 19).

The remote control is ready for use.

Note:

If the remote control is disposed of or replaced, the battery must be removed and disposed of in accordance with laws in force, insofar as batteries are harmful to the environment.

Do not throw the battery into an open flame as it may explode or release hazardous liquids.
