Thank You

Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler. For optimum cooling, fill the water tank to the maximum level and load ice inside the ice compartment before turning on your air cooler.

Cooler Location (Important - Please Read!)

Place the cooler in front of an open door or window. Ensure adequate cross-ventilation by leaving a door or window open opposite the cooler. Following these guidelines will ensure your cooler works 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 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.

Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism Description:

The mechanism involves drawing warm air into the cooler, where it passes through a wet honeycomb cooling media. Water, pumped from the tank, flows over this media. As the warm air moves through the wet media, the water absorbs heat from the air, causing it to cool and become humidified. A fan then pushes this cooled, humidified air into the room. The second diagram illustrates this process: warm, dry air enters the honeycomb structure, and cool, humid air exits.

Indoor Use

The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or less, allowing for a noticeable temperature decrease. The temperature decrease will be greater in drier climates due to higher evaporation rates when humidity is low.

The evaporative air cooler should not be used in enclosed spaces. It must be kept level, and the water tank must contain water. The room should have doors and windows opened to allow free air flow. The cooler works best when placed near an open window, allowing outside air to be drawn in, circulate, and then exit through the door. The maximum cooling effect is felt when a person is in the direct flow of air exiting the cooler.

The evaporative air cooler can also be used to humidify dry air during cooler weather. For humidification, windows and doors should be closed to allow the humidified air to accumulate. The unit is not an air conditioner as it does not use a compressor or refrigerant gas.

Indoor Use Recommendations:

• Recommended: Room with open windows & door.
• Not Recommended: Room with closed windows & door.

Note (Important - Please Read!)

When the product is used for the first time, the Honeycomb Cooling Media may have an odor that will dissipate in a few hours of initial use.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Important - Please Read!

• The cooler is supplied with Honeycomb Cooling Media.
• The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb media depends on local air and water conditions. In areas with high mineral content in the water, mineral deposits may build up on the Honeycomb Cooling Media and restrict airflow. Draining the water reservoir and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain, 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 and refill the tank with fresh water if the water has been standing for an extended period.
• 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.

Warning:

• Before cleaning, turn the unit off and disconnect from the power source.
• Use a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the outside of the unit.
• Never use abrasive cleaners.
• When the unit is not in use, store it in a dry place, out of direct sunlight.

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 drain plug and allow the tank to empty (Item #12 on Page 8). [Illustration: Bottom view of cooler showing Water Drain Plug]
• Refill the water tank to the maximum level with clean water and drain it completely.
• Fill the water tank and rinse at least 2-3 times before use.
• After cleaning, ensure the drain plug is back in place.
• Plug into the power supply and turn on the unit.
• If the air cooler is not used for a long period, the water tank should be cleaned at least twice before reuse.

Cleaning The Honeycomb Cooling Media
