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 refrig-
erant gas. It should not be expected to cool as efficiently as a refrigerated air conditioner.

USER TIPS
Honeywell Evaporative Air Coolers are built to maximize energy efficiency and keep costs low.
Warm air is drawn into the cooler 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 (Important - Please Read!)
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.

Don't use indoor extension cords outside. Look for extension cords specifically marked for
outdoor use. Look for extension cords that have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
built in.
Make sure the amperage rating for the extension cord is higher than the amperage rating
for the appliance. Check labels and owner's manuals on the appliance and the extension
cord for amperage ratings.
Power cords have to be contained. If they must run along the ground, make sure every inch
of them is secured so they will not be tripped over.
The wiring and connections must be waterproof. Be sure the connections (to the air cooler)
never get wet. Your unit is waterproof, but everything attached to it must be waterproof, too.
Set up your unit so it cannot be tripped over or wobble loose. It must rest on a solid
support.
