Ice bricks
Warning: always keep the cap closed. The solution inside must not be touched, swallowed or breathed in. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
INSTALLATION
- After unpacking, check that all parts of the appliance are present; if in doubt, do not use and contact a qualified technician. The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, metal staples, etc.) must not be left within reach of children, as they constitute possible sources of danger and must be disposed of according to applicable regulations in recycling containers. Warning: any stickers or advertising leaflets applied must be removed before using the appliance.
- Assemble the 4 wheels onto the base, turning to tighten into the respective holes: it is advisable to place the lockable castors at the back (15), which are locked by pushing the lever down. Check that all 4 wheels touch the floor.
- Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage on the data plate matches that of the electric system. In the event of incompatibility between the power socket and the appliance's plug, have the plug replaced with a suitable model by a qualified professional, who should ensure that the cable is appropriate for the power rating of the device. The use of adaptors or extensions is generally not advisable; if it is necessary to use them, they must comply with safety regulations and the total current (amps) must not be rated lower than the maximum current of the appliance.
- Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and that the power cord is not damaged: if in doubt consult a qualified professional.
- The plug point must be accessible so as to easily remove the plug in case of an emergency.
- Stand the appliance on a flat, horizontal and stable surface, and keep it away from:
- heat sources (e.g. open flames, gas stoves, etc.)
- liquids (e.g. from bathtubs, showers, sinks etc.) to avoid splashing water and to prevent it from falling into them (the appliance should be kept a minimum of 2 metres away).
-
fabrics (curtains, etc.) or floating materials/particles that may block the aspiration grid; check also that the front part is free from floating particles (dust, etc.).
-
This device is NOT suitable to use it in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapor, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air).
-
If there is a fault or the appliance is not working correctly, switch it off and have it checked by a qualified professional. Repairs done by an unqualified person can be dangerous and cause the guarantee to become void.
• The appliance comes with the following parts:
-
Water tank (10) is at the back. It slides out like a drawer and it is locked into place with a lever (9). Add demineralised water that is limescale and additive free (no essences, detergents or other). Do not exceed the max. level marking (approx. 4L: running time of approx. 6 hours) or fill to below the min. level (approx. 1 litre). The 2 ice bricks provided can be added to cool the air down further after having been frozen in a freezer for at least 10 hours.
- Front grille: the horizontal flaps (3) can be adjusted up or down manually. The vertical flaps (4), automatically swivel right and left by pressing the button on the control panel.
- Filters. These are found at the back of the appliance, secured with a frame containing two screws (14): the external pre-filter (8) traps dust, fluff, etc., while the internal filter, made of honeycomb cellulose, is sprayed with water and thereby cools the air that passes through it.
- Control panel with switches for the following functions:
“ COOLING ” button: cools the air and evaporates micro-particles of H^2O it is filled with: this function is most effective in drier air, and is less effective as relative humidity increases (RH). The button starts and stops the water pump. The function only takes place in the presence of water in the tank, within the min-max values; when the water is below the min level switch off the cooler function.
“0” button stops both the ventilation function and the appliance. It is started by pressing it.
“ LOW ” button starts ventilation at minimum speed.
“ MID” button starts ventilation at medium speed.
“ HIGH” button starts ventilation at maximum speed.
“ SWING” button, see above.
USE
To start the appliance, plug it into the mains and choose the required functions.
To turn the unit off completely, after pressing the "0" button, remove the plug from the plug point.
If the appliance is not being used for long periods of time, remove the plug from the plug point and empty the water tank.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important: before performing routine cleaning, remove the plug from the mains.
- Regularly check that the filters are clean and that the water in the tank does not contain deposits or substances to ensure that the functions are as effective as possible.
- To clean the filters, loosen the two screws on top, remove the frame and clean the dirt with a vacuum cleaner or a brush, making sure that the surfaces are not damaged, and rinse with running water. Allow to drip dry completely, place it back in position and tighten the screws.
- To clean the tank use a soft cloth to remove any deposits on the surface, taking care not to damage the pump and other parts.
- To clean the body, use a soft cloth dampened with water and, if necessary, use also a mild everyday detergent.
- Do not use abrasive or corrosive products.
- Do not immerse any electrical parts in water or another liquid. In the event this occurs, dry carefully and check that the electric parts are perfectly dry and, only thereafter, plug the appliance into the mains. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
- If the appliance is not used for long periods of time, you should store it away from dust and moisture; we recommend using the original packaging.
- If you decide to no longer use the device, it is recommended that it is made inoperative by cutting the power cable (first ensure that the appliance has been unplugged from the power supply), and ensure that any parts that could be a hazard to playing children are put away (e.g. the ice bricks).
DISPOSAL
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life. The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales area of at least 400 m ^2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that the appliance consists of.
