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

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 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.
Unit should be placed a minimum 10 inches away from any wall.

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 indicator light 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 the COOL button is pressed again without filling the tank with
water, the low water alarm will activate again.

ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
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 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. Water Regulator

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The Honeycomb Cooling Media is located inside the back panel.
Open the back panel by using a star screw driver to clean or
replace the Honeycomb Cooling Media. It is recommended
that the Honeycomb Cooling 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 Cooling 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 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.
