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.

USER TIPS
THANK YOU
Congratulations on your purchase of this versatile Honeywell Evaporative Air Cooler. The Safety &
Maintenance Guide and the separate User Manual are intended to provide you with important
information needed to set up, operate, maintain and troubleshoot this product.
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.
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
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 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.

WARNING—READ AND SAVE THE AIR COOLER GUIDE AND USER MANUAL
The Air Cooler Guide and User Manual are intended to provide important information needed to set up,
operate, maintain and troubleshoot your Air Cooler. Failure to follow these instructions may damage
and/or impair its operation, create hazards, and void the warranty.

•
Check the household voltage to ensure it matches the appliance’s rating specifications.
Before operating the product, remove the packaging and check that product is in good condition.
DO NOT operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
with a supply cord which is as per manufacturers specifications, by the authorized service centre or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this unit.
DO NOT run power cord under carpeting, or cover it with rugs or runners. Keep the cord away from
areas where it may be tripped over.
Always ensure the water tank is filled with water above the "min." level mark, when operating the air
cooler in evaporative COOLING mode.
Always unplug the Air Cooler before refilling the water tank, cleaning, servicing or relocating the unit.
Never pull the cord. Remove it from the electrical outlet/ socket by grasping and pulling on the
plug-end of the cord.
This appliance has been manufactured for use in domestic environments and must not be used for
other purposes.
DO NOT use in areas where gasoline, paint or other flammable goods and objects are stored.
When using the COOL setting, make sure the water tank is at Max Indicator Level. Operating the unit
on the COOL setting with an empty tank may result in damage to the water pump.
DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions of the Air Cooler, as this
may void the warranty.
DO NOT cover the cooler’s air inlet or outlet, as this may damage the motor.
DO NOT insert or allow objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this may damage the
unit and may cause electrical shock or fire.
DO NOT operate with the Honeycomb Cooling Media removed, as this will overload and damage the
motor.
SAFETY RULES
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)
IMPORTANT: Honeywell Outdoor Air Cooler models are designed to IPX4 product standards and not
recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain or snow.

Make sure all parts are dry by running the Fan Only mode for about 30 minutes 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 and scratches, cover with a clean cloth or plastic bag before storing.
Coil the power cord and store it away from the floor to protect it.
*Carbon Dust Filter is available in specific models of Honeywell Air Coolers only. Check the User Manual for your model
