FUNCTION BUTTONS (CONTINUED)
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.

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 7.5
hours of use.
MODE
Press the MODE button to select COOL and FAN modes. 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 until Fan is illuminated switches the unit to a fan only mode, without evaporative
cooling.

COOLER LOCATION
FILLING WITH WATER
Make sure to position the air cooler correctly before you set up and start using the product.
Please refer to the COOLER LOCATION (IMPORTANT TO READ) section of the separate Safety &
Maintenance Guide.
CAUTION:
Unplug the unit from the electrical power outlet 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: 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 top ice compartment
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.

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.

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 electrical socket.
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 TANK EMPTY 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.

CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter & Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The Carbon Dust Filter and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill (See
Figure 1) 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.
