When the Sleep mode is selected, the fan will randomly change between High, Medium, Low and off
(5 seconds each) to mimic a natural breeze.
TIMER
Press the TIMER button until the desired time duration setting is selected. When the set time
has passed, the unit will automatically turn off (unit remains in Standby mode until power cord is
unplugged from electrical socket). The TIMER function allows you to program the unit for up to 8
hours of use.
SWING
Press the SWING button until the SWING indicator light is illuminated on
the control panel. The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically.

FUNCTION BUTTONS (CONTINUED)
MODE (COOL)
Press the MODE button to select COOL mode. Pressing the MODE button until COOL is illuminated
on the control panel activates evaporative cooling. The water pump will operate and you will feel the
cooler air after the Honeycomb Cooling Media is completely wet.
Pressing the MODE button again will deactivate COOL light on the control panel, switching off
evaporative cooling.
Note:
When the cooling function is switched OFF, the unit can still function in a fan only mode (without
evaporative cooling).
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
In cooling mode, Honeywell Air Coolers provide moisturized air through
the evaporation of water. There is a manual Water Regulator knob located
in the ice compartment of the unit. This allows you to adjust the amount
of water pumped over the Honeycomb Cooling Media, thus helping to
control cooling and humidification levels.
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.

The remote control requires AAA (2 x 1.5V) batteries for replacement.
Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote control and insert the batteries
inside. Care must be taken to insert the batteries according to the correct polarity (+ / –)
markings shown inside the battery compartment.
Always point the remote control signal transmitter towards the unit when operating. Make sure
that the signal path is not obstructed.
Remove the batteries if the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
Do not drop the remote control.
Do not mix different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not recharge the battery.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product and safely disposed of as per local
regulations.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
WARNING: Caution for ingestion of the small battery. Keep away from children and animals.

CAUTION:
Unplug the unit from the electrical socket before emptying or refilling
the water tank.
Open the Water Fill Door located on the side of the unit.
The Water Level Indicator is located at the front of the unit. Refill the water
tank when water level is low. Do not fill water above the "Max." water level
mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers. Check the water
level in the tank before running the COOL function. Make sure that the
water in the tank is above the minimum water level mark. Running the unit
in COOL mode with inadequate water may cause pump failure.
Note: If ice is available, you may add ice in the top ice compartment to
enhance the cooling performance.
Note: The water capacity refers to the total volume of water that can be
contained within the air cooler water tank and water distribution system.
The water capacity in the tank at the “Max.” indicator level may be lower
than the actual water capacity of the air cooler.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can
damage the unit and Honeycomb media.

Below are instructions on how to clean and maintain your air cooler. If the cooler will not be used for
a long period of time, please refer to the STORAGE & MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES located in the
separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect from the power outlet.
The unit is equipped with a low water sensor. In Cooling Mode, when water in the tank is below the
minimum level, you will hear a beeping sound and the indicator light will flash continuously. The unit
will automatically pause evaporative cooling.
Refill the water tank to deactivate the alarm in cooling mode. First switch OFF the unit and unplug
from the power outlet. Fill the water tank with water above the minimum water level mark. Plug in and
switch ON again.
To deactivate the alarm and continue using the unit as a fan (without evaporative cooling), switch
the unit OFF and then ON again. The Low Water Alarm will not activate in Fan only mode. The Low
Water Alarm will sound again if the COOL function is activated while the water tank is still empty.
*Applicable for models with Low Water Alarm feature only.

CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER* AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill. See
Figure 1 for instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
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 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 tank and refilling with fresh
water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the
Honeycomb Cooling 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.
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.
