In cooling mode, Honeywell Air Coolers provide cool, moist air through the
evaporation of water. There is a manual Water Regulator knob located behind
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 greater cooling
performance.

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.

It is ideal to use the Continuous Water Supply Connection to run the unit for long periods of time
without refilling the tank. This also helps prevent pump failure in case the cooler is running with
inadequate water in the tank.
CAUTION:
Unplug the unit from the electrical power outlet before filling or emptying the water tank.
Continuous Water Supply Connection:
For a continuous water supply, you will need a garden hose that is connected to a main water supply.
Note: The garden hose is not included. Please make use of a garden hose which is compatible with
the unit connection.
FILLING WITH WATER
Locate the male connector at one end of the garden hose. Insert the garden hose connector into
the water inlet valve of the cooler. Screw and tighten the water inlet valve onto the threaded part
of the garden hose connector, making sure the hose connector is secured to ensure there will be
no leaks. If there is leakage, the hose and the water inlet valve may not be connected properly. Try
to disconnect, replace and tighten the water inlet valve again.
When the connection is secured, turn ON the water supply and the
water will flow into the water tank of the cooler.
The cooler is now set so the water refills automatically.
When the water tank is full, the water inlet valve will
automatically stop the water supply from overflowing.
WARNING: The maximum water inlet pressure is 0.5 MPa.

LOW WATER ALARM
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.

Fill Door
Manual Water Tank Refill:
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.
WARNING: Always ensure the water in the water tank is above the minimum (Min.) water level mark
for both Continuous & Manual Water Refill. Running the unit in Cool mode with inadequate water
may cause pump failure.
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.
Note: If ice is available, you may add ice in the ice tray to enhance the
cooling performance.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can damage the unit and Honeycomb
media.

CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug
located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level and drain it completely.
Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive
elements or chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
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 electrical socket.

CLEANING THE WASHABLE MESH FILTER AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Washable Mesh Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The Washable Mesh Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill (See
Figure 1 and 2) and see below for instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning.
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.
