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.

COOLER LOCATION

To maximize efficiency, position the Air Cooler according to the following guidelines:

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 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 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 USA only). Press the TEST button (then 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 the maintenance and storage of your Air Cooler. WARNING: Always switch OFF the Air Cooler and unplug it from the electrical source before cleaning or maintenance.

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 is not 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 it 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 it 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.
• Carbon Dust Filter is available in specific models of Honeywell Air Coolers only. Check the Parts Description in the User Manual for your model to see if it includes a Carbon Dust Filter.

Turn the SWING knob to the ON position to activate the movement of the louvers. The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically. Vertical Air Flow – You can manually adjust the lever located at the front of the unit to change vertical air flow.

COOLER LOCATION

Make sure to position the air cooler correctly before you set up and start using the product. Please refer to the COOLER LOCATION section of the separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.

FILLING WITH WATER

It is ideal to use the Continuous Water Supply Connection to run the unit for long periods of time without refilling the tank. This also helps prevent pump failure in case the cooler is running with inadequate water in the tank.

Continuous Water Supply Connection:

For a continuous water supply, you will need a garden hose that is connected to a main water supply. Note: The garden hose is not included. Please make use of a garden hose that is compatible with the unit connection.

• Locate the male connector at one end of the garden hose. Insert the garden hose connector into the water inlet valve of the cooler. Screw and tighten the water inlet valve onto the threaded part of the garden hose connector, making sure the hose connector is secured to ensure there will be no leaks. If there is leakage, the hose and the water inlet valve may not be connected properly. Try to disconnect, replace, and tighten the water inlet valve again.
• When the connection is secured, turn ON the water supply, and the water will flow into the water tank of the cooler.
• The cooler is now set so the water refills automatically when the water tank is empty, or when the water reaches below a minimum level.
• When the water tank is full, the water inlet valve will automatically.
• Please open the water valve for a minimum flow, as too much pressure could damage the inlet pressure control system.
• WARNING: The maximum water inlet pressure is 0.5 MPa.

Manual Water Tank Refill:

• Using a portable container or a garden hose, you can refill the water tank manually by pouring water into the water tank through the water inlet hole located at the top of the air cooler.
• Check the water level indicator to know when the water tank is full. Do not fill water above the “Max.” water level mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers.

LOW WATER PUMP CUT-OFF

In Cooling Mode, when water in the tank is below the minimum indicator level, the air cooler water pump will automatically turn off. This helps to protect the water pump from running without water in the tank. When the water pump is turned off, the air coolers stop evaporative cooling. To reactivate the water pump and restart the unit in Cooling Mode, first switch OFF the unit and unplug it from the power outlet. Fill the water tank with fresh water above the minimum level mark. Plug in and switch the unit ON again.

CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK

If the cooler will not be used for a long period of time, please refer to the STORAGE & MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES located in the separate Safety & Maintenance Guide. WARNING: Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect it from the electrical socket.

• Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
• Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level, and drain it completely.
• Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive elements or chemicals to clean this product.
• When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA

• The appliance is supplied with three Honeycomb Cooling Media pads.
• The Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear and Side Grills. Follow Steps 1 to 5 for instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
• Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. You must empty the water tank and refill it 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 tank and refilling with fresh water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the Honeycomb Cooling 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.

Removing the Honeycomb Cooling Media:

1. Remove the screws from the Rear Grill of the Air Cooler.
2. Carefully pull out the Rear Grill from the Air Cooler.
3. The Honeycomb Cooling Pad is secured on the Rear Grill by two Horizontal Bars that are fixed in place by two screws on the Left and Right Sides of these Horizontal Bars. Remove these screws to release the Horizontal Bars.
4. Pull out the Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding it out from the Rear Grill. Replace with the new Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding it into the grooves of the Rear Grill until it fits comfortably and securely in place on the grill. Replace the Horizontal Bars back onto the Rear Grill by replacing the Left and Right Side screws and tightening them in place. This secures the Honeycomb Cooling Pad in place on the Rear Grill.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the Honeycomb Cooling Pad on the Left and Right Side Grills.
