USER TIPS

What is Evaporative Cooling?
Honeywell Evaporative Air Coolers are built to maximize energy efficiency and keep energy costs low. Warm air is drawn into the cooler and enters the Honeycomb Cooling Media. Water pumped from the water tank pours over the Honeycomb Cooling Media. As the warm air passes through the Honeycomb Cooling 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 

The recommended maximum relative humidity level is 60% or less, which allows a noticeable temperature decrease. The temperature will be lower in drier climates because higher evaporation occurs when the humidity is low.

NOTE
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.

COOLER LOCATION

Indoors
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. 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. Doors and windows should be opened to allow free airflow.

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 near the flow of air coming out of the Evaporative Air Cooler. The Evaporative Air Cooler produces moisture and can be used to humidify dry air. To be used for humidification the windows and doors should be closed.

IMPORTANT:
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.

Outdoors (for outdoor models only)

• Use only on GFCI-protected outlets/ sockets (for the USA only). Press the TEST button (then the RESET button) every month to ensure proper operation.
• Power cords must be secured to avoid tripping.
• The wiring and connections must be protected from water. The electrical plug and Air Cooler connections must be dry at all times. When used outdoors, insert the air cooler electrical plug into an IP44-compliant outdoor electrical outlet.
• Set the unit on a solid flat surface.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

Read the detailed CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK instructions for your Air Cooler, located in the separate User Manual. Below is a general guideline for maintenance and storage of your Air Cooler.

Cleaning
At least once a week, drain the water tank completely and refill it with fresh water. Doing this will greatly reduce mineral deposits and help to extend the life of the Honeycomb Cooling Media.

End-of-Season Storage
If the Air Cooler will not be used for a long time:

• Make sure all parts are dry by running the Fan Only mode for about 1 to 2 hours before storing (time depends on ambient humidity conditions).
• Switch OFF the Air Cooler and unplug from the power supply. Empty/drain all the water from the tank. Note: If the unit is connected to a continuous water supply, you must switch off the water supply and remove the drain tube before draining the water tank. This function is only available on some Honeywell Air Cooler models. Check the User Manual to see if your unit has the Continuous Water Supply Function.
• Clean the water tank with a damp cloth to wipe away any dust or mineral deposits.
• Remove the Honeycomb Cooling Media and Carbon Dust Filter* from the Air Cooler and rinse under fresh water to remove dust and dirt. Replace the Honeycomb Cooling Media and Carbon Dust Filter* after they are clean and dry. To protect the unit from dust, moisture, and scratches, cover with a clean cloth, tarp, or plastic bag before storing.
• Coil the power cord and store it away from the floor to protect it.
• Store this unit at room temperature in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and/or very hot, cold, or damp environments.
