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
refrigerant gas. It should not be expected to cool as efficiently as a refrigerated air conditioner.

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.

USER TIPS
NOTE
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 few hours 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.

USE & OPERATION
LOW WATER ALARM FUNCTION
The unit is equipped with a low water sensor. When water in the tank is below the
minimum level, you will hear 10 beeps and the COOL LCD 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 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.
COOLER LOCATION
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 from the
cooler.
Following these rules will ensure your cooler will work as effectively as possible.

USE & OPERATION
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
When the Water Regulator(Part 18) is set to ''MIN'', the
water pump distributes minimal amount of water to the
Honeycomb media. This results in less water evaporation
and reduces cooling effect.
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. Water Regulator

Check water level indicator located on the front of the unit to
determine the level of water inside the water tank. The water
tank of this cooler holds up to 8 gallons of water. Be sure
water in the tank is always above the minimum water level
mark.
To refill the water tank, open the Water Fill Door located below
the left side panel and fill water to the Max Level, as indicated
on the Water Level Indicator. Do not fill water above the Max
water level mark.
For better cooling performance, it is recommended to put ice
cubes inside the ice compartment located on the top of the
cooler.
After refilling the water tank and loading ice, close the water fill
door, connect the power supply and turn on.
Note :
Running the unit with inadequate water may cause pump
failure.

Water Pick Up Tube
Turn the power “off” and disconnect the air cooler from the
power supply.
Move the unit to a location where it can be drained. Remove
the drain plug (Part 17) and allow the tank to empty
Once the tank is empty, unlock the latches on both sides
and lift off the cooler top section as shown in the figure and
place it vertically on the floor. Be careful not to bend the
water pickup tube that hangs below the unit.
Refill the water tank with clean water and drain it completely.
Clean the water tank with detergent or a damp cloth and
rinse it thoroughly.
Place the unit top carefully on the tank and lock the latches.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up tothe maximum level.
The air cooler is now ready to be used. This cleaning
process should be repeated weekly to maintain the integrity
of the unit and to remove particles filtered from the air.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER AND HONEYCOMB
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 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 media. It is
recommended that the carbon filter and honeycomb 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 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.
•
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.
