FUNCTION BUTTONS
POWER
Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. The cooler will start automatically at medium speed. After a few seconds, the speed will switch to low. To turn the unit off, press the button again.
SPEED
Press the SPEED button repeatedly to change the speed between High – Med – Low.
TIMER
Press the TIMER button until the desired time duration setting is selected. When the set time has passed, the unit will automatically turn off (the unit remains in Standby mode until the power cord is unplugged from the electrical socket). The TIMER function allows you to program the unit for up to 8 hours of use.
SWING
Press the SWING button until the SWING indicator light is illuminated on the control panel. The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically. Vertical Air Flow – You can manually adjust the louvers to change the vertical airflow.
COOL
Press the COOL button until the COOL indicator light is illuminated on the control panel. This activates evaporative cooling. The water pump will operate and you will feel the cooler air after the Honeycomb Cooling Media is completely wet. When the COOL indicator light is switched OFF, the unit can still function in a fan-only mode (without evaporative cooling).
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
In cooling mode, Honeywell Air Coolers provide cool, moist air through the evaporation of water. There is a manual Water Regulator knob located in the ice compartment of the unit. This allows you to adjust the amount of water pumped over the Honeycomb Cooling Media, thus helping to control cooling and humidification levels. When the Water Regulator is set to MIN, the water pump distributes a minimal amount of water to the Honeycomb Cooling Media. This results in less water evaporation and reduces the cooling effect. When the Water Regulator is set to MAX, the water pump distributes the maximum amount of water to the Honeycomb Cooling Media. This results in maximum water evaporation and greater cooling performance.
REMOTE CONTROL
NOTE:
- The remote control requires a CR2025 (1 x 3V) coin type or equivalent battery for replacement. Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote control and insert the battery inside. Care must be taken to insert the batteries according to the correct polarity (+ / –) markings shown inside the battery compartment.
- Always point the remote control signal transmitter towards the unit when operating. Make sure that the signal path is not obstructed.
- Remove the batteries if the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
- Do not drop the remote control.
- Do not mix different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not recharge the battery. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product and safely disposed of as per local regulations.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak. This product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used lithium button/ coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
- The batteries shall be disposed of properly, including keeping them away from children.
- Even used batteries may cause injury.
LOW WATER ALARM*
The unit is equipped with a low water sensor. In Cooling Mode, when water in the tank is below the minimum level, you will hear a beeping sound, and the indicator light will flash continuously. The unit will automatically pause evaporative cooling. Refill the water tank to deactivate the alarm in cooling mode. First, switch OFF the unit and unplug it from the power outlet.
Fill the water tank with water above the minimum water level mark. Plug in and switch ON again. To deactivate the alarm and continue using the unit as a fan (without evaporative cooling), switch the unit OFF and then ON again. The Low Water Alarm will not activate in Fan only mode. The Low Water Alarm will sound again if the COOL function is activated while the water tank is still empty.
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 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 out of direct sunlight.
CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER* AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
- The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
- The Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill. See Figure 1 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 airflow. Draining the water tank and refilling it 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.
