Frequently Asked Questions - Arctic-Plus ElectriQ

How do I turn on the Arctic-Plus air cooler?

Turn the power knob to the ON position. Then select the desired fan speed (LOW, MID, HIGH) using the speed knob. The unit will start cooling when the water tank is filled.

What is the maximum water tank capacity and how do I fill it?

The Arctic-Plus has a 60-litre water tank. You can fill it manually through the water inlets (top or side) or connect a hose for continuous automatic supply. Ensure water does not exceed the MAX level.

Why does the unit produce an odour when first used?

A slight odour is normal during first use; it comes from the honeycomb cooling pads. This should dissipate within a week of operation.

How often should I clean the honeycomb filter pads?

Clean the honeycomb filters at least every two months. In areas with hard water, more frequent cleaning may be needed. Remove the filter, scrub gently with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry before reinserting.

Can I use the air cooler without water?

Yes, the unit can operate in air cleaner mode without water. However, for cooling and humidification, the water tank must be filled.

What should I do if the water tank does not slide out?

Ensure the unit is powered off and unplugged. Wait at least 2 minutes before removing the water tank. If still stuck, check that the pump supporter is not blocking it.

How do I clean the exterior of the unit?

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the plastic housing. Avoid chemical solvents like benzene or alcohol. Do not let water enter the control panel.

What is the recommended humidity for optimal cooling?

For best performance, the relative humidity should be 60% or lower. High humidity reduces the evaporation cooling effect.

How do I store the air cooler at the end of the season?

Empty and dry the water tank, clean the honeycomb pads, and store the unit in a dry place. Cover it to protect from dust.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Always unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance. Do not use extension cords, keep the unit on a stable surface, and ensure proper ventilation (at least 50 cm from walls). Do not operate with a damaged cord.

Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips

- Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.

- For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 50cm.

- Please make sure, while in operation, the water in the water tank does not exceed the MAX level and does not fall below MIN.

- Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the air quality.

- In order to achieve maximum efficiency please place the unit near an open door or window. Evaporative Air Coolers work with an evaporative cooling mechanism which requires cross ventilation

• This unit will lose efficiency if humidity in the room reaches a relative humidity of over 60%

- The ambient operating temperature range is from 5^ to 40^ .

If used in low temperatures (as a humidifier) it is recommended to fill the water tank with warm (but not hot) water.

OPERATION

The air cooler cools the air by means of evaporation. When water evaporates into the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change requires heat which is taken from the water molecules, resulting in a spot cooling effect.

• The recommended relative humidity for optimum operation is 60% or lower. A drier climate makes for more noticeable cooling.
• The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed or sealed spaces. It must be kept level and there must always be water in the water tank. Doors and windows should be open to allow free air flow. The evaporative air cooler works best when placed near an open window/air current.
• When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb cooling media will have an odour, this should dissipate within a week of use.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

ATTENTION: Please shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance.

Cleaning the surface

Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.

Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage. Make sure no water enters the control panel.

Cleaning the water tank

Unplug the power cord then remove the water tank. With a cloth (dipped in a mild detergent), wipe the water tank, rinse it with water, and then carefully place it back in the unit.

Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce any mineral deposits and keep the filters clean.

Do not run the unit in Humidify mode with stale water in the tank. We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water if water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.

MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB FILTER PADS

The appliance is supplied with a set of 3 honeycomb cooling / filters pads (back and sides). The cleaning frequency for the honeycomb filter depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of water is high (hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the honeycomb cooling filter and restrict air flow. If mineral deposits remain on the honeycomb pads, the filter should be removed and washed under fresh water. We recommend cleaning the honeycomb filter at least every two months, depending on your needs.

For best results, allow the honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off the humidify function for 15 minutes (with empty water tank) before turning the unit off.

Unplug the power cord, then remove the honeycomb filter frame, and take the honeycomb filter out of the bracket. With a mild detergent and a soft brush, scrub the honeycomb filter, clean with water and dry. Do not dip in water.

End of Season Maintenance:

1. Empty the tank and wash it with warm soapy water.
2. Dry the tank and clean the Honeycomb pads
3. Store any Icepack you may use in the water tank
4. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
