Introducing the
Please read the Instructions in your Manual before using your InstaChill 09Ex for the first time. The InstaChill 09EX V3 has an automatic Humidity Control function making it one of the most sophisticated evaporative coolers available. It monitors the Humidity level of the air entering the InstaChill and when that reaches 85% relative Humidity it will automatically switch the COOL function Off as evaporative coolers don’t provide cooling above this level.
It will continue to operate the fan to provide cooling through air movement, and when it detects that the relative Humidity has dropped to at least 70% it will turn the COOL function back on.
How the COOL function works
When the COOL function is On the InstaChill pumps water up from the base tank and distributes it into the Hydro-cell Chill Pads which have a honeycomb structure like an ICE car radiator. Hot air is drawn through the wet pads by the fan during which some moisture in the pads is evaporated by the heat in the air. The result is cooler air but carrying some of the evaporated water therefore our recommendation to use in a well-ventilated space to avoid unnecessary build-up of humidity.
How to enjoy maximum cooling
Cooler air is achieved by taking heat from the air to evaporate moisture therefore the colder the water the more heat is used for evaporation. Using chilled water will assist this as will adding to the water ice cubes or frozen pads used in chilly bins. Note that the water tank is not insulated so it is better to top it up regularly rather than filling it completely. If topping up is not practical e.g. overnight, then adding ice cubes at the outset is the best option.
Why is it healthier than air conditioning?
To work efficiently air conditioning needs to continuously recycle air through the fan unit where it is cooled each time. To achieve this the air con requires an artificial environment with no fresh air entering the room. Over time the air can become drier as the cooling function in the fan unit causes moisture to condense which can contribute to a drying effect on your sinuses and eyes. To avoid recycling of airborne bacteria, bugs and pollution including VOCs proper filter maintenance is critical otherwise Indoor Air Quality can be compromised.
Other useful Features
Anion Feature works as an air cleaner by removing bacteria and pollutants from the air that has passed through the Hydro-cell Chill pads. Default mode is On.
Mosquito Repeller emits an ultra-high frequency tone which mosquitos find annoying and literally repels them from entering the room. Default mode is Off.
Swing Feature swings the vent air flow left and right by moving the vertical louvres. The horizontal louvres are also split into 2 sections that can direct airflow more up or down as preferred. Default mode is Off.
Low Water Warning When the water level in the tank is low the COOL function will turn off and the COOL red LED light will start flashing. The fan will continue to operate.
Maintenance
Detailed instructions are on Pages 9 & 10 of your Manual. In summary clean the Chill pads and air filters regularly, at least monthly but more often depending on the air quality and frequency of use. The easier it is for the air to pass through the InstaChill the more effective it will be. When not using the InstaChill for 24 hours or longer, run the InstaChill for 30 minutes or more with the COOL function Off, this will dry out the Chill pads and avoid an environment for bacteria etc. to develop.
Clean the Water Tank regularly when in use, at least once a month. When not in use drain the tank completely and wipe dry any water remaining.
