Currently, air coolers are considered essential devices in regulating temperature and humidity for many households. However, not everyone knows how to utilize them to their fullest potential. The following mistakes can negatively impact your health, reduce the lifespan of your cooler, and increase energy consumption for your home.
Not turning on the oscillation mode when using an air cooler
Not activating the oscillation mode when using an air cooler
Many experts consider the reverse mode to be truly beneficial for your living space, as the breezes will spread and dissipate to every nook and cranny. Therefore, if you don't activate the reverse mode, the cool breezes will only flow in a certain direction, failing to reach all areas effectively, rendering the air purifier's function ineffective.
Place the air cooler near the wall
It's advisable to position the air cooler in a well-ventilated area
Many people often position the air cooler near the wall or in a corner to minimize room space. However, this habit is not beneficial for the air cooler, as it obstructs its ability to draw in air. It's better to leave about 40 cm of space from the wall and place the back of the cooler near a window or in a location with good airflow to facilitate air circulation in the room.
Move the air cooler while it's still running
One of the fundamental mistakes when using an air cooler is to move it while it's still operating. Doing so may cause the fan's reservoir to spill, affecting the electrical circuit and posing a risk of short circuit.
Therefore, you must completely turn off the air cooler, unplug it, and drain all the water from the reservoir. When there is still water in the reservoir, move it gently.
Failure to clean the air cooler regularly
Many people often overlook the importance of regularly and periodically cleaning the air cooler, leading to poorly functioning internal components, accumulation of bacteria and dust, which can affect the lifespan of the machine and your health. It's essential to frequently drain the bottom of the water reservoir to prevent water residue from clogging the pipes, causing bacterial contamination and affecting the quality of the emitted steam, posing health risks to users.
Additionally, cleaning components such as the dust-blocking filter behind the fan, the cooling pad, water reservoir, and water pump helps prevent blockages of internal parts, ensuring the machine consistently produces a cool breeze.
