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

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 humidi-
fying the air. A fan propels the cooled air out into the room. This no-compressor system cools
naturally, efficiently and inexpensively.

Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism

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 Room with open windows & door
opened to allow free air flow. The evaporative air cooler works (RECOMMENDED)
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 Room with closed windows & door
air to accumulate. (NOT-RECOMMENDED)

NOTE

When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb Cooling Media will have an odor
which will dissipate in a week or so of initial use.

 USE & OPERATION

ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING

When the Water Regulator is set to ''MIN'', the water pump
distributes minimal amount of water to the Honeycomb
Media. This results in less water evaporation and reduces
cooling effect.

When the Water Regulator is set to ''MAX'', the water pump

distributes the maximum amount of water to the Honeycomb
Media. This results in maximum water evaporation and the
cooling performance improves. Water Regulator

COOLER LOCATION

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 from the cooler.
Following these rules will ensure your cooler will work as effectively as possible.

 USE & OPERATION

CAUTION

Unplug from power when refilling.

FILLING WATER
Unplug the air cooler from power supply.

Check water level indicator located on the front of the unit to

determine the level of water inside the water tank. The water
tank of this cooler holds up to 30 Litres of water. Be sure water
in the tank is always above the minimum water level mark.

To refill the water tank, open the Water Fill Door located below Water Fill Door
the left side panel (refer to page 7) and fill water to the Max
Level, as indicated on the Water Level Indicator. Do not fill
water above the Max water level mark. Top Ice Loading Compartment
For better cooling performance, we suggest putting ice cubes
inside the ice compartment located on the top side of your
cooler.

After refilling the water tank and loading ice, close the water fill
door, connect the power supply and turn on.

Note :
Running the unit with inadequate water may cause pump
failure.

 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
• The cooler is supplied with Honeycomb Cooling Media.
• 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.
• Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. Empty the tank and refill it with
fresh water if the water has been standing in the tank for an extended period of time.
• 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.
• 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.

WARNING
• Before cleaning the unit, switch it to the ''off'' position and unplug from the power socket.
• To clean the outside, use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
• Never use corrosive elements or any chemicals to clean this product.
• When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DRAINING AND CLEANING THE WATER TANK

• Turn the power “off” and disconnect the air cooler from the power
supply.
• Move the unit to a location where it can be drained. Remove the
cap from the water drain plug and allow the tank to empty (see
parts description on page 7).
Water Drain
• Once the tank is empty, unlock the latches on both sides and lift Plug
off the cooler top section as shown in the figure and place it
vertically on the floor. Be careful not to bend the water pickup tube
that hangs below the unit.
• Refill the water tank with clean water and drain it completely.
• Clean the water tank with detergent or a damp cloth and rinse it
thoroughly. Latches

• Place the unit top carefully on the tank and lock the latches.
