Frequently Asked Questions - Breezy Cube LANAFORM

How to fill the Breezy Cube water tank?

Unplug the device, remove the tank, open the cap by turning counterclockwise, pour clean, fresh, preferably distilled or demineralized water, then close the cap tightly.

Can I use essential oils in the Breezy Cube?

No, never use essential oils as they can damage the device and void the warranty.

How often should I clean the tank?

It is recommended to clean the tank every 2 days to prevent bacteria and deposits. Use a soft cloth and vinegar if necessary.

When should I replace the Breezy Cube filter?

The filter should be replaced every 6 months or after approximately 500 hours of use. A flashing red light under the ON/OFF button will alert you.

The red light is flashing on my device, what should I do?

A steady red light indicates the tank is empty. Flashing means the filter needs to be replaced. Refer to the filter replacement section in the manual.

How to use night mode?

Press the ON/OFF button once to turn on the device. Press again to turn off the ambient light: the device then automatically switches to night mode with lowest intensity and quieter operation.

Why is my Breezy Cube not cooling enough?

Check that the tank has water, the ambient humidity is below 60%, and the temperature is high enough. Allow a few minutes for evaporation to take effect.

Can I use the device without water?

Yes, you can use the Breezy Cube as a simple fan even if the tank is empty. It is even advisable to run it empty from time to time to dry the filter.

What to do in case of unpleasant odor?

Empty the water from the tank, clean it, and let the device air out for at least 12 hours. If the odor persists, the filter may have stayed wet too long: replace it if necessary.

What to do if the device leaks?

Check that the drain plug of the tray is tightly closed and that the device is placed on a flat, stable surface. Do not move the device if it still contains water.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing LANAFORM's Breezy Cube personal air cooler.

The Breezy Cube air cooler is designed to cool warm ambient air and help you relax with a breeze. It can be used at the office, in a bedroom, in the lounge or in any place in which you want to cool your personal internal space. In the winter, it also helps you restore a proper humidity level and eliminate the discomfort associated with dry air.

HOW DOES THE COOLING THROUGH EVAPORATION WORK?

Water needs energy to evaporate. When it evaporates naturally, water pumps this energy into the heat of the ambient air, which reduces the air temperature. It is this phenomenon that produces the coolness felt close to a drying sheet or a stream. The Breezy Cube works along the same lines: the water in the reservoir flows into the lower tank and is then absorbed by capillary action through the filter's fabric. This provides a large area of contact with the air and therefore allows fast evaporation. The fan again accelerates this evaporation and diffuses the cooled air. Throughout the process of evaporation, the fabric stays damp when emptying the reservoir.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The refreshing effect of the Breezy Cube increases as the relative humidity falls. The drier the surrounding air, the more you will feel the cooling effect. The personal space cooler is most effective when it is used in warm, slightly humid weather when humidity does not exceed 60%.

Moving the device

Make sure you always move the Breezy Cube using the handle, according to [ ■ 2].

Instructions prior to using the device for the first time

Remove the air cooler from its original packaging and check that it does not have any faults. If you notice any faults, return it to the supplier or the supplier's after-sales department.

▲ Remove the air vent and the piece of foam on the top of the filter: this was used to transport the device so you can dispose of it.

Place the Breezy Cube personal air cooler in the room half an hour before turning it on to allow it to adjust to room temperature.

Filling the reservoir [■ 3]

▲ Please note:

Before filling the device with water, disconnect the power adapter from the wall socket and from the device.

Use only clean distilled or demineralised water in order to avoid any malfunction.

Make sure the reservoir cap is tightly closed after filling in order to avoid any leakage or electric shocks.

The reservoir must be kept clean. Please refer to the chapter on "Maintenance and storage" below.

• Remove the reservoir by lifting it [■1] and keep it upside down [■2].
• Turn the reservoir cap in an anti-clockwise direction to open it [■3].
• Then pour clean, fresh, distilled or demineralised water into the reservoir [ ■4].
• Replace the cap and turn in a clockwise direction to close it tightly.
• Before placing the reservoir on the base of the device, make sure you close the cooler tank drain plug tightly [1 1 11]. to avoid any leakage or electric shocks.
• Finally, fit the reservoir correctly on to the base of the device.

Instructions for use [☐ 4]

Do not move the air cooler when it is being used or when water is left in the reservoir. In fact, a system for draining water that has accumulated is provided to ensure your safety and this might cause leakages when moving the device if it still has water in it. Always therefore empty the reservoir before moving the device.

▲ Make sure your hands are completely dry when connecting and disconnecting the device.

The Breezy Cube personal air cooler comes with a USB cable and an adaptor of 2.0A. Once the air cooler is turned on, it is ready for use.

• Adjust the slots of the air vent upwards or downwards to direct the air flow as required.
• Press the ON/OFF button [▶ 1]: a blue LED light indicates that the ventilation and the atmospheric light are working.
• Press it a second time: the atmospheric light is disabled.

① Turning the mood light off enters the unit in night mode. It then automatically switches to the lowest intensity to be quieter. To exit the night mode and return to the previous settings, press the intensity or timer button.

• The cooler runs continuously by default. Press the timer button (■2) once to set the run time for 2 hours and a second time to set a 4-hour run time. A blue LED light indicates the length of time selected.

- Press the intensity control button [ ■ 3] to go from the lowest intensity to the highest intensity and vice versa. A blue LED light indicates the intensity selected.

- When the reservoir is empty, a red luminous light appears on the ON/OFF button [▶ 1].

① The device can continue to be used when the reservoir is empty in order to benefit from the fan. It is even recommended that the fan be allowed to turn with the reservoir empty from time to time in order to dry the filter completely.

- If this same light flashes, the filter must be replaced (approximately every 6 months). Please refer to the chapter on "replacing the filter" below.

- Press the ON/OFF button once again: the air cooler switches off.

▲ DO NOT LEAVE THE DEVICE CONNECTED WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING IT.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Always switch off the air cooler before cleaning it or storing it.
- If the water contains too much calcium and magnesium, it may deposit a "white powder" in the device. If too much foam is deposited on the device, this will prevent it from working properly.

Maintenance

We recommend:

1 Using clean distilled or demineralised water each time the device is used.
2 Cleaning the reservoir every 2 days.
3 Cleaning the device (see explanations below) and making sure that all of its parts are completely dry when it is not in use.

To clean the reservoir:

1 Clean the water reservoir with water using a soft cloth and vinegar if there are any foam or limescale deposits on the inside.

2 Rinse the reservoir in clean water.

To clean the filter:

1 Remove the filter by referring to [■5].
2 Clean by brushing with a soft brush (not supplied).

To clean the surface of the cooler:

1 Clean the surface of the device with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth as often as necessary.
2 Never use detergents, an excessive volume of water, treated cloths, cleaning agents or abrasive sprays.

Storage

If you do not intend to use the device for a lengthy period, remove the filter and allow it to dry completely [5 1-3], then wrap it in a protective package and store it with the clean, dry device in a cool, dry place away from the light.

REPLACING THE FILTER [ 5]

For optimum performance, replace the filter every three months or after approximately 500 hours of use. When the filter reaches the end of its serviceable life, the light below the "Refill/Filter" flashes [■4 ■1].

① If you live in a place where the water is hard, it may need to be changed more frequently. In these cases, you will see minerals accumulating on the cooling device which might in time obstruct the air flow.

• Disconnect the air cooler. [▶1]

• Remove the air vent with the push-button at the top right of the vent. [▶2]
  • Take out the used filter. [ ■ 3]

• Then insert the new filter, making sure it is positioned correctly as on the diagram, i.e. with the opening towards the bottom and slot it in towards you. [■4]

• Re-insert the air vent and connect the device so that it can be used again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event of a malfunction under normal conditions of use, please refer to the following list:

Troubleshooting Cause Solution
The device is overflowing. Cooler	tank drain plug in the wrong place.	Replace the cooler tank drain plug so that it is tightly closed.
	Unstable surface Place the device	on a horizontal, stable, flat surface and do not move the device if it still contains water.
	Cracked or damaged reservoir.	Contact your supplier's after-sales service.
The device is not working / The fan is not turning / No light indicator.	Adapter not powerful enough. Use only the mains adaptor supplied with this device.
	No voltage, no current. Check that the USB connector is securely attached to the device; check whether the device is connected and that there is no mains fault.
	Cable out of service. Use another	USB cable (type B USB micro) or contact your supplier's after-sales service.
The device does not cool down / not sufficiently.	Relative humidity too high / ambient temperature too low.	The device cools down through evaporation (please see chapter on “How does cooling work through evaporation”), and may vary depending on the conditions.
	Evaporation has not yet started.	Wait for a few minutes because evaporation takes a little time before the freshness is noticeable.
	Empty reservoir / dry filter. Add water to the reservoir.
Unpleasant smell. The air cooler is new. Drain the water from the reservoir and leave it to air for at least 12 hours.
Unusual noise emitted during operation.	The device is on an unstable or non-flat surface.	Unplug the device and place it on a flat, stable surface.
Minerals accumulating in the cooling device.	Using hard water. Clean the device and use distilled water.

▲ The following effects are not regarded as malfunctions:

1 If your water is particularly hard (contains a lot of minerals), the device may produce a sort of white dust. This is not a malfunction. The solution is to clean it more frequently or to use water that is not as hard.
2 The device runs very calmly but not entirely quietly. A sound level of less than 53DB is regarded as normal.
