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.

USER TIPS
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 a dust and odor-reducing carbon
filter 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 inexpen-
sively.

USER TIPS
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, 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.
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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CARBON FILTER AND HONEYCOMB
Honeycomb
Cooling Media Carbon Filter
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 Cooling Media are located
inside the back panel. Open the back panel by pulling out the
back grill to clean or replace the Carbon Filter or Honeycomb
Cooling Media. It is recommended that the Carbon Filter and
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 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.
