THANK YOU
Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air
Cooler and Heater. For optimum cooling & heating performance from your unit, fill
the water tank with water & ice (if available) to increase its cooling power and turn
off the Cool mode at least 15 minutes before you turn on the heater. The unit should
be positioned in a location that will create a Flow Through Air effect.The greatest
cooling effect will be felt if the unit is operated in a partly opened doorway or window.
Cooler Location - Indoors (Important - Please Read!)
Place the cooler in front of an open door or window. Ensure that there is adequate
cross - ventilation in the room by leaving a door or window open opposite the cooler.
Following these guidelines will ensure your cooler will work as effectively as possible.
Not an Air Conditioner (Important - Please Read!)
The evaporative air cooler is not an air conditioner as it does not use a compressor
or refrigerant gas. It should not be expected to cool as efficiently as a refrigerated air
conditioner.

USER TIPS
Energy Efficient, No Compressor
EVAPORATIVE AIR COOLER
Evaporative air cooling is the natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze blowing across a lake.
This breeze drops the temperature and has a relaxing cooling effect. The evaporative air cooler
cools the air by means of the evaporation of water. When water evaporates into the air, the result
is a mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change requires heat which is taken from
the water molecules, resulting in cooler air propelled from the unit.
HEATER
A fan heater is a variety of convection heater that includes an electric fan to speed up the
airflow(air circulation). This reduces the thermal resistance between the heating element and the
surroundings and is faster than passive convection, allowing heat to be transferred more quickly.
They operate with considerable noise caused by the fan. They have a moderate risk of ignition
hazard in the event that they make unintended contact with furnishings. This type of heater is a
good choice for quick heating of enclosed space.

USER TIPS
The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or
less, which allows a noticeable temperature decrease. The
temperature decrease will be greater in drier climates because
higher evaporation occurs when the humidity is low.
The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed
spaces. It must be kept level and there must be water in the
water tank. The room should have doors and windows opened
to allow free air flow. The evaporative air cooler works best
when placed near an open window, so that outside air is drawn
into the evaporative air cooler, circulates in the room, then
exits via the door. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a
person is in the flow of air coming out of the evaporative air
cooler.
The evaporative air cooler can also be used to humidify dry
air during cool weather. To be used for humidification the
windows and doors should be closed to allow the humidified
air to accumulate.
When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb Cooling Media will have an
odor which will dissipate in a few hours or so of initial use.

ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
Water Regulator

When the Water Regulator is set to MIN, the water pump
distributes a minimal amount of water to the Honeycomb
Cooling Media. This results in less water evaporation and
reduces the cooling effect.
When the Water Regulator is set to MAX, the water pump
distributes the maximum amount of water to the Honeycomb
Cooling Media. This results in maximum water evaporation
and the cooling performance improves.

Open Screws
Back Panel
Honeycomb Cooling Media Carbon Filter
The appliance is supplied with Carbon Filter & Honeycomb
Cooling Media.
Always keep the Carbon Filter clean. You can wash the
Carbon filter at least twice a year or whenever you feel
necessary.
The Carbon Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media are
located inside the back panel. Open the back panel by using
a star screw driver to clean or replace the Carbon Filter or
Honeycomb Cooling Media. It is recommended that the Carbon
Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media be replaced every year,
depending on use and environment.
Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at
least once a week will greatly reduce mineral deposits in the
pads and help to extend the life of Honeycomb Cooling Media.
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank.
You must empty the water tank and refill with fresh water,
especially if the tank has not been cleaned in a long time.
The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb Cooling Media
depends on local air and water conditions. In areas where
the mineral content of water is high, mineral deposits may build
up on the honeycomb cooling media and restrict air flow.
Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at
least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If
mineral deposits remain on the Honeycomb Cooling
Media, it should be removed and washed under fresh water.
The Honeycomb Cooling Media should be cleaned every two
months or sooner, depending on your needs.
For best results allow the Honeycomb Cooling Media to dry
after each use by turning off the cool function 15 minutes
before turning the unit off.
