THANK YOU!
THANK YOU

Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler. For optimum
cooling performance from your unit, fill the water tank with water & ice (if available) to increase its
cooling power. 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.
Please read these instructions carefully.

Honeycomb Cooling Media
Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism
Warm and

Cold and
humid air
COOL ~ EFFICIENT ~ NATURAL
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.

NOTE
4
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. 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.
When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb
cooling media will have an odour which will dissipate in a week
or so of initial use.

USE & OPERATION
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
When the water regulator is set to MIN, the water pump
distributes a minimal amount of water to the honeycomb
media. This results in less water evaporation and reduces
cooling effect. Thus, reducing the humidity inside the room.
When the water regulator is set to MAX, the water pump
distributes the maximum amount of water to the honeycomb
media. This results in maximum water evaporation and the
cooling performance improves. Thus, increasing the humidity
inside the room.
Water Regulator is located inside the ice loading compartment.
Regulator knob can be rotated using your own hands.

USE & OPERATION
FILL WATER
CAUTION
Open the Water Fill Door located below the Remote Control
Holder on the unit. The water tank of the unit holds up to 20 litres
of water.
Water level display window is located on the front of the unit.
Refill the water tank when water level is low. Do not fill water
above the Max water level mark. Check water level in the tank
before running the ''COOL'' function. Please be sure water in
the tank is always above minimum water level mark. Running
the unit with inadequate water may cause pump failure. If ice is
available you may add ice in the top compartment to enhance
the cooling performance.
Unplug from power when refilling.

WARNING
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK:
• 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 detergents, 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.
•
•
•
•
Turn the power "off" and disconnect the unit from power supply.
Move the unit to a location where it can be drained and remove the drainage
tube/cap (see parts description on page 7).
Once the tank is empty, refill with clean water and drain it again. This should be
repeated weekly to maintain the integrity of the unit and to remove particles filtered
from the air.
Once the tank is clean, refill the water tank. The unit is now ready to be used again.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CARBON / DUST FILTER
Carbon filter behind “air inlet”
• Turn off the unit, and unplug the power cord from wall outlet.
• Rotate the unit facing the back panel, and locate the knobs
to remove back grill.
• Press both the knobs (see fig.) and gently pull out the back
grill, untill it is completely removed.
• Now remove the carbon filter from the back panel.
• You can now clean or replace the carbon filter.
• Insert the dust free filter inside the unit, doing the reverse of
removal procedure.
• The appliance is supplied with carbon filter and honeycomb
cooling media.
• Always keep the carbon filter clean. Wash the carbon filter
at least twice a year or as necessary.
• Draining the water tank and refilling it with fresh water at least
once a week will greatly reduce mineral deposits in the pads
and help extend the life of the honeycomb cooling media.
• Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the
tank. It is recommended to empty the tank and refill it with
fresh water, if the water has been standing inside the tank for
an extended period of time.
• Cleaning frequency depends on local air and water
conditions. For example, in areas where mineral content of
the water is high, deposits may build up in the honeycomb
cooling media, restricting air flow. In this case, it is recommended
to clean the honeycomb cooling media every two months.
• 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.
