What does the water shortage alarm mean?

If the water level is too low, the device beeps and the cooling function indicator flashes. Unplug, wait 2 minutes, then fill the tank to the MAX level.

Can I use ice cubes instead of ice packs?

Yes, you can add ice cubes to the water to improve cooling. Be careful not to exceed the MAX mark after adding.

How to clean the filter and cooling pad?

Remove the filter, then rotate the latch to remove the honeycomb pad. Clean them with a damp cloth or under running water, then dry them completely before reinstalling.

The device does not turn on, why?

Check that the water tank is properly inserted and the latch is in vertical position. The filter must be correctly installed (click). Make sure the device is plugged in and the safety switch is not blocked.
