evaSMART transportation, cleaning, storage

Here are some short extracts from our user manual - the Product guide which every box with the device is supplied with.

Moving and transportation

Before any kind of transportation, the device should be disconnected from the power source. In addition to the water in the transparent reservoir, the device also stores some water in the internal tank so that the evaporative cartridge can absorb it. Before transportation, it is highly recommended to empty the reservoir and set the device to run on the maximum fan speed for at least one hour to dry the water out from the internal reservoir.
Transportation without drying the water out the internal reservoir is to be attempted at your own risk. Water leakage during the transportation is not covered by the warranty. In order to avoid leakage, the device should be positioned horizontally and and moved slowly.
In order to remove the water instantly from the internal reservoir and prepare device for transportation, please complete the following:

1. Disconnect the device from the power source. 2. Remove the reservoir by sliding it up and drain the water from it. 3. Put the reservoir back in place. 4. It is highly recommended to connect the device to power source again and set the device to run on the maximum fan speed for at least one hour afterwards to dry the water out from the internal reservoir. 5. Disconnect the device from the power source. The device is ready for transportation.

Important:

Even if there is no water in the internal reservoir, the evaporative cartridge could still be wet. Do not transport the device on long distances with a wet cartridge; please see section "Storage during long periods of no usage" below. For shorter distances make sure that the device with a wet cartridge is not isolated in a box or bag with no air flow. 

Cleaning

1. The cleaning period depends on the level of dust in the area that you use your air cooler in. 2. Prior to actual cleaning disconnect the device from the power source. 3. Wipe the device grills with a soft cloth. 4. Wash or wipe the reservoir. 5. Put the device back together; it is now ready to use or store.

Storage during long periods of no usage

Clean the device (as described above), dry it and place it into an appropriately-sized package for storage (original package is recommended). Store the device in a dry space at temperatures 18°C - 25°C (64°F - 77°F).

Important:
— Do not put the device or the cartridge into a bag, box or any container before it is completely dry.
— Fully replace the water in the reservoir at least once a week.
— Use a soft cloth to clean the device. Do not clean the device with gasoline, window-washing liquid or any organic solvent. Warranty does not cover damages caused by improper cleaning.
— Do not wipe the inside of the cartridge, just its outer plastic body.
— Do not put fingers into the internal camera when the device is in operation.
