THANK YOU
THANK YOU!
Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler. For optimum
cooling performance from your unit, fill the water tank with water & ice (if available) to increase its
cooling power.
Please read these instructions carefully.

USER TIPS
COOL ~ EFFICIENT ~ NATURAL
Evaporative air cooling is the natural way of cooling, similar to a breeze blowing across a lake. This
breeze drops the temperature and has a relaxing cooling effect.
The evaporative air cooler cools the air by means of the evaporation of water. When water
evaporates into the air, the result is a mixture of air and water molecules. This chemical change
requires heat which is taken from the water molecules, resulting in cooler air propelled from the
unit.

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 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. 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.

NOTE
When the product is used for the first time the Honeycomb
cooling media will have an odour which will dissipate in a week
or so of initial use.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Before cleaning the unit, switch it to the ''off''position and

remove the plug 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 & DRAINING 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 drainage tube and allow the tank to empty
(see parts description on page 7).
Once the tank is empty, unlock the latches on both sides
and lift 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.
Place the unit top carefully on the tank and lock the latches.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level.
The air cooler is now ready to be used. This cleaning
process should be repeated weekly to maintain the integrity
of the unit and to remove particles filtered from the air.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER AND HONEYCOMB

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 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 media. If
you have any question about the carbon filter and honeycomb
media be replaced , please contact service centre.
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.
