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 performance.
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.
THANK YOU

Honeycomb Cooling Media
Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism
Warm and
dry air
Cold and
humid air
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.
NATURAL ENERG Y EFFICIENT COOLING ..

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.
NOTE
4
USER TIPS
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
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 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

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.

Latch
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 cap from the drainage tube and allow the tank to empty
(see parts description on page 7).
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 to the 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.
