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 - 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 refrig-
erant gas. It should not be expected to cool as efficiently as a refrigerated air conditioner.

USER TIPS
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 humidifying the air. A
fan propels the cooled air out into the room. This no-compressor system cools naturally, efficiently
and inexpensively.

NOTE

USER TIPS
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, 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.

is ON. Everytime the water tank goes below the mini-
mum level the LOW WATER ALARM function will
activate with the help of a low water sensor. You will hear 10 beeps and the TANK EMPTY
led indicator will flash continuously. At the same time the power to the pump inside the unit
will be cut off to protect the life of the pump.
To disengage the low water alarm function, turn off and unplug the unit from the power
outlet, and fill the tank with water above the minimum level.
To turn off the alarm function and continue to use it in FAN mode, turn off the unit and turn
the unit on. If COOL button is pressed again without filling the tank with water, low water
alarm will activate again.

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
FILLING WATER
CAUTION
Unplug from power when refilling.
The water tank of the unit holds up to 25 litres of water.
Water needs to be filled inside the unit with the help of water fill door located on the left side
panel of the unit. You may use a water filled jug to manually fill water inside the tank or can also
connect a water pipe to fill this tank.
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 inthe 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.

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.
