READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
- Before operating the product, remove the packaging and check that product is in good condition.
- DO NOT allow children to play with this appliance, packaging, or plastic bag.
- Check the household voltage to ensure it matches the appliance’s rating specifications.
- DO NOT use an extension cord with this unit.
- DO NOT run the power cord under the 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.
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. 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.
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 maintenance and storage of your Air Cooler.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|
No discharge of air. | Cord is not plugged in. | Make sure power cord is plugged in and the switch is ON. |
| Power is not ON. | Turn the unit ON by pressing the power button on the control panel / remote control or turn the SPEED knob. | |
|
Not Cooling / Unit is making noise. | Pump is not turned ON. | Turn on COOL function from remote or control panel. |
| Low or no water in tank, when COOL is selected. | Refill water tank. | |
| Damaged Pump or 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. 60% 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. |
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|
Remote control does not work. | Remote control batteries are old & used or inserted incorrectly in the battery compartment. |
Replace with new batteries. Follow the polarity guide inside the battery compartment. |
| Damaged remote control. | If replacing new batteries in the correct position does not work, contact the Customer Service Center. | |
|
The unit does not respond. |
Damaged Control Panel on unit. | Try to activate the unit with the Remote Control. If the unit responds, then the Control Panel on the unit may be experiencing problems – contact the Customer Service Center. |
| If neither the Remote Control or the Control Panel is working, contact the Customer Service Center. | ||
|
The outdoor Air Cooler is wet from rain. |
The Air Cooler was placed outdoors (this is only allowed for outdoor Air Cooler models) and soaked by heavy rain. | A small amount of rain on the unit is not a problem as long as the electrical plug and outlet are dry. If they are wet, DO NOT touch the unit or electrical plug/ outlet. Switch off the master power for the outlet before unplugging the unit from the electrical outlet. Make sure all outlets and plugs are dry before use. |
|
The Air Cooler is designed to IPX4 product standards and not recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain conditions. Do not operate the Air Cooler when wet. Wait for the Air Cooler to dry before plugging in and turning on the unit again. |
