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
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.

COOLER LOCATION (CONTINUED)
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).
•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.
IMPORTANT: Honeywell Outdoor Air Cooler models are designed to IPX4 product standards and not recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain or snow.
SAFETY RULES
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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
•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.
