THANK YOU

Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler. For
optimum cooling from your cooler, fill the water tank to maximum level and load ice inside
the ice compartment before you turn on your air cooler.
Cooler Location (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 guideline 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 refrig-
erant gas. It should not be expected to cool as efficiently as a refrigerated air conditioner.

Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism

Energy efficient, No compressor
Honeywell Evaporative Air Coolers are built to maximize energy efficiency and keep costs low.
Warm air is drawn into the cooler through a dust and odor-reducing carbon filter and enters the
Honeycomb Cooling Media. Water pumped from the tank pours over the honeycomb media. As
the warm air passes through the media, the water absorbs the heat, naturally cooling and humidi-
fying the air. A fan propels the cooled air out into the room. This no-compressor system cools
naturally, efficiently and inexpensively.

USER TIPS
Room with open windows & door
(RECOMMENDED)
Room with closed windows & door
(NOT-RECOMMENDED)
When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb Cooling Media will have an odor
which will dissipate in a week or so of initial use.
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, the air 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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning the unit, switch it to the ''off'' position and remove the plug from the power socket.
To clean the outside, use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
Never use corrosive elements or any chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
The cooler is supplied with Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb 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 media, the media should be removed and washed under fresh water.
The media should be cleaned every two months or sooner, depending on your needs.
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. Empty the tank and refill it with
fresh water if the water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
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.
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.
