USER TIPS

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.

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.

What is Evaporative Cooling?

Evaporative Air Cooling Mechanism

Honeycomb Cooling Media

Warm Air Cool Air

Pump Water

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 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.

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

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.

IMPORTANT: Honeywell Outdoor Air Cooler models are designed to IPX4 product standards and not

recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain or snow.

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 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 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.

•

Carbon Dust Filter is available in speciﬁc models of Honeywell Air Coolers only.

Check the User Manual for your model to see if it includes a Carbon Dust Filter.

Calcium deposits on

blower.

Contact Customer Service Center.

Excessive

humidity in the

room.

In cooling mode, the Air

Cooler produces moisture

as a result of evaporative

cooling. This is normal.

The Air Cooler cools best in dry climates. If the

ambient humidity level is high (approx. 75% or

above), refrain from using the Air Cooler until ambient

humidity is reduced.

Make sure the window/doors are open and there

is adequate cross-ventilation in the room so that

the moisturized air can circulate better. Do not use

the evaporative cooling function on days with high

ambient humidity.

Odors.

When the Cooler is new.

When the unit is used for the ﬁrst time, the

Honeycomb Cooling Media will have an odor, which

will dissipate within a few hours of initial use.

Algae or mold due to

moist parts. In very damp

conditions, algae may

form.

Check the Honeycomb Cooling Media. If you see

mold spots on the media or suspect an algae issue,

remove and replace the Honeycomb Cooling Media.

Contact the Customer Service Center for more

information.
