WEEKLY CLEANING

We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly, more often if you have hard water or notice a build-up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.

Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.

First, turn off and unplug the humidifier. Wait at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.

Remove the Water Tank.

To remove the Power Unit, pull the Latch to release (found under the Water Tank) and lift the Power Unit (Fig. 6). Turn upside-down to check condition of heating element. If build-up of min- erals is heavy, follow the CLEANING THE HEAT- ING ELEMENT instructions. Set the Power Unit aside.

DWM-250 specifications

The Duracraft DWM-250 is a compact, high-performance evaporative cooler designed to provide efficient and environmentally friendly cooling solutions for a variety of spaces. With its innovative features and cutting-edge technology, the DWM-250 has become a popular choice for those seeking relief from the heat while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact.

One of the main features of the Duracraft DWM-250 is its ability to cool efficiently through the process of evaporative cooling. This technology works by drawing warm air through moist pads, allowing the water to evaporate and in turn, cool the air that is circulated into the room. This method not only reduces the temperature but also adds moisture to the air, making it an ideal solution for dry climates.

The DWM-250 is equipped with a powerful fan that delivers a robust airflow capacity of up to 2500 cubic feet per minute (CFM). This ensures that it can effectively cool larger spaces, making it suitable for living rooms, offices, and outdoor areas. Additionally, the unit features adjustable air outlets that allow users to customize the air distribution according to their preferences.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Duracraft DWM-250 is its energy efficiency. Unlike traditional air conditioning units, which can consume a significant amount of electricity, the DWM-250 operates using a much lower power consumption, making it an eco-friendly option. This feature not only helps to lower energy bills but also reduces the overall carbon footprint associated with cooling.

The DWM-250 is designed with user convenience in mind. It includes a large water tank capacity, reducing the frequency of refills and providing longer uninterrupted cooling. Furthermore, the unit is portable, equipped with wheels for easy mobility, allowing users to move it from one room to another or to outdoor spaces with ease.

For added functionality, the DWM-250 comes with multiple fan speed settings, allowing users to select their desired cooling intensity. It also features a convenient control panel with easy-to-use buttons, making it accessible for individuals of all ages.

In summary, the Duracraft DWM-250 stands out as an effective, energy-efficient, and user-friendly evaporative cooler. Its advanced cooling technology, powerful airflow, and portability make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to beat the heat while being environmentally conscious.
