Top 10 Safe and Effective Ways to Use Air Coolers

When using an air cooler, ensure the water tank is filled to about half or more. Running the cooler without enough water can damage the pump and reduce the cooler's lifespan. Overfilling may cause overflow or leakage, increasing the risk of short circuits when the cooler is in use.
Note:

• Avoid adding perfumes or scented liquids into the water tank to create fragrance. These can clog the cooling pads, water pipes, or even damage the pump.
• If you want to add fragrance to the room, place a fragrance wax near the cooler so the scent can be carried by the airflow into the room.

Depending on the air cooler's power, the seating position should be adjusted to ensure you receive the optimal airflow. You can follow these guidelines for seating positions:

• For coolers with less than 80 W: Sit about 2-3 meters away to enjoy a balanced, cool breeze.
• For coolers with over 80 W: Sit more than 3 meters away to avoid health risks such as colds, headaches, or dizziness.

If the air humidity is too low, you should manually increase moisture by mopping the floor to cool the space, placing a water bowl or a damp cloth in the room to boost the air's humidity.

For outdoor areas, you can spray water or mop the yard/floor to add moisture. This method enhances the cooling effect of the air cooler, providing a more comfortable experience.

Note: If you have young children at home, be careful not to make the floor too wet to prevent accidents!

Users can clean their air coolers on a weekly or monthly basis depending on usage. Clean the dust filter, cooling pads (these can be washed under running water), and rinse the water tank to ensure they work efficiently without dirt buildup, extending their lifespan.
In some cases, if your air cooler has an unpleasant odor, it might be due to the adhesive used for assembling the cooling pads, and the smell should disappear after the first use.
If the smell persists, it could be because the cooling pad was not dried properly. You can turn off the cooling mode for about 30 minutes, and the fan will dry the pad, eliminating the odor.

Saving electricity with your air cooler is a concern for many users:

• Placement: Make sure to position the cooler in a well-ventilated area without obstacles, allowing the fan to pull in air efficiently, which not only cools effectively but also saves energy.
• Frequent cleaning: Clean the cooler every 4-5 weeks. Dust buildup can reduce its cooling performance, forcing the cooler to work harder and consume more energy.
• Avoid using ion and ozone modes unnecessarily: Only activate these modes when needed, as they consume more power.
• Turn off the cooler and unplug it when not in use to conserve electricity.

Here are some extra tips for using your air cooler:

• Air coolers provide cooling, but they don’t refrigerate like air conditioners. Under ideal conditions, they can lower the temperature by 4-15°C, depending on surrounding temperature, humidity, and room size.
• If you don’t use the cooling mode (Cool mode), the air cooler acts like a regular fan.
• When turning on the cooler, use the Cool mode: fill the water tank with cold water and add dry ice or ice cubes, wait 15 minutes, and the room temperature will drop, enhancing the cooling effect.
• After running the fan for 15-20 minutes, switch to oscillating mode to distribute the cool air evenly throughout the room.
• Change the water in the tank weekly to avoid bacteria growth that can affect your health.
• Along with manual humidity control, use the Humidity Control mode and the ionizer function (if available) to purify the air.
• Set the temperature between 24-26°C when the outside temperature is around 30°C (a 5°C difference is ideal).

Air coolers are compact, stylish, and modern with efficient cooling capabilities, making them a popular choice for many customers. Here are some of the most loved air cooler models currently available:

• Kangaroo KG50F79
• Hommy RPD-80
• Delites BR-A12
• Clari FL-926-2
• Midea AC120-16AR
• Sunhouse SHD7746

Many consumers believe that when using an air cooler, the room must be completely closed like an air conditioner. However, the cooling effectiveness of the air cooler diminishes in a closed, high-humidity space. Air coolers balance humidity to cool the environment, so they should be placed in an open, airy area to work effectively. The air intake (at the back of the cooler) should be placed where it can receive sufficient airflow, ideally with at least 20 cm of space from obstacles.

This is one of the key factors to using an air cooler effectively. Air coolers are versatile and can be used in open spaces, so you won't need to spend extra money on remodeling your room. Many people mistakenly believe that the room should be sealed when using an air cooler, but actually, the cooling performance decreases in a closed, humid room.

Air coolers work by balancing the humidity in the environment, making the air cooler more effective. There's no need to close the doors; simply place the air cooler in a well-ventilated area for optimal performance. Additionally, air coolers are safe for rooms with electronics or wooden furniture, as they only use water vapor to lower the temperature and do not release mist into the air, ensuring safety for electrical devices and wooden items.

Objects placed around the air cooler can block airflow, causing the unit to overheat and reducing its lifespan. The fan is designed with multiple vents to circulate air effectively for optimal cooling. Poor airflow indicates that the air cooler is not functioning properly. Therefore, avoid placing any items around the cooler while it is in use.
