Original operating instructions

The equipment is designed for cooling the air in enclosed rooms. The blown-out air is cooled by the evaporation of cooled water from the equipment‘s water tank. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes. Tips on saving energy when cooling Close all windows, doors and venetian blinds in order to reduce incoming sunlight as far as pos- sible.
