Description

By means of evaporation technology, the Newair Evaporative Cooler EC111W offers effective and strong chilling. This method essentially cools the air by absorbing heat from it using water, therefore relieving the heat load. With a big water tank that can be readily filled and a washable, reusable filter, the cooler is simple to operate and maintain. For even more convenience, the EC111W also boasts a remote control, a programmed timer, and oscillating louvers. Any house or business would benefit much from the elegant and contemporary Newair Evaporative Cooler EC111W.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully remove all packaging materials and retain for future storage/use. Make sure there is no residual foam left in any of the components. No tools will be required to assemble this evaporative cooler.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. Remove the water tank by turning the water tank knob counterclockwise 900.
2. Before using the evaporative cooler for the first time, we recommend cleaning the tank with a warm water and light detergent solution.
3. Fill the tank with clean water. Pay attention to the water level indicator located on the front of the cooler to avoid overfilling the evaporative cooler. The approximate tank size of the EC111W is 1.5 gallons (5.5 liters).

4. Replace the tank back onto the back of the unit. Turn the water tank knob clockwise 900. This locks the water tank back into place.

   

USING THE ICE PACK

The EC111W evaporative cooler includes an optional ice pack for added cooling.

1. Place the ice pack in the freezer until frozen. Do not open the ice pack or ingest its contents.
2. Put the ice pack into one of the water tank’s chambers.
3. The ice pack is not necessary for operation, but will help enhance the cooling effect in higher temperatures.

4. The ice pack will last approximately four hours before melting.

   

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

The EC111W is equipped with a remote control. A CR2032 3V coin-type replacement battery is included for your convenience.

1. To use the remote control, aim it at the unit and select one of the functions on the remote control. The effective distance is approximately 24”.
   • ON/SPEED = Power ON and adjusts speed.
   • OFF = Power OFF
   • TIMER = Timer function of up to 7.5 hours
   • SWING = Swinging air louvers
   • COOLER/HUMIDIFIER = Controls cooling/humidification function
   • MODE = Adjust the airflow mode

CONTROL & DISPLAY PANELS

After the tank is filled with water, connect the evaporative cooler to a power outlet. The unit will beep twice, indicating that the power source is connected. The cooler will be in standby mode at this time.

ON/SPEED & OFF BUTTONS

1. Press the ON/SPEED button to turn on the evaporative cooler.

2. To adjust the fan speed, press the ON/SPEED button again until your desired speed has been reached. The current fan speed will be indicated on the display panel. To turn the unit off and revert back to standby mode, press the OFF button.

   

COOLER/HUMIDIFIER BUTTON

After the desired fan speed has been selected, press the COOLER/HUMIDIFIER button to activate the cooling/humidifying function. This powers the water pump and will cool and add moisture to the air at the same time. The blue cooling icon will also be visible on the display panel.

Please note that if the initial fan speed is set to 3, the unit will revert back to the second speed setting for five minutes. After five minutes, the unit will automatically switch to the third fan speed. This is to allow the cooling pad to be thoroughly absorbed with water, which results in optimized cooling. The cooler will not revert back to other speeds if the initial fan speed was set to either 1 or 2.

MODE BUTTON

The EC111W has two different automatic airflow modes. Setting the airflow mode is optional. To set the airflow mode, press the MODE button.

• Natural Mode
  Indicated by the palm tree icon on the display panel, this setting will adjust the airflow speed between 1, 2, and 3.
• Sleep Mode
   Indicated by the moon icon on the display panel, this setting will cycle through the fan speed settings, and gradually lower the speed at different intervals, depending on the selected fan speed.

TIMER BUTTON

1. This evaporative cooler is equipped with a 7.5-hour programmable timer. To set the timer, press the TIMER button. Each press of this button will add 0.5 hours to the set time.
2. The set time will be indicated in the middle of the display panel.

SWING BUTTON

To activate the oscillation feature, press the SWING button. The fan head will automatically oscillate counterclockwise, which directs cool air into a cyclone for a more focused cooling effect.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

1. If the water level in the tank drops below the minimum level, the unit will produce an audible alert that will last for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the evaporative cooler will automatically turn off.
2. If the water tank is removed while the unit is on, it will automatically turn off.
