CONTROL PANEL
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 Lo – Med – Hi – Natural. The indicator light will show the selected speed:
When the Natural mode is selected, The fan will randomly change between High, Medium, and Low speeds to mimic a natural breeze.
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 7.5 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 vertical airflow.
MODE
Press the MODE button to select COOL and FAN modes. Pressing the MODE button until COOL is illuminated on the control panel activates evaporative cooling. The water pump will operate and you will feel the cooler air after the Honeycomb Cooling Media is completely wet. Pressing the MODE until the Fan is illuminated switches the unit to a fan-only mode, without evaporative cooling.
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
In cooling mode, Honeywell Air Coolers provide moisturized 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 the cooling performance improves.
REMOTE CONTROL
- 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 a fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
WARNING: Caution for ingestion of the small battery. Keep away from children and animals.
FILLING WITH WATER
CAUTION:
Unplug the unit from the electrical power outlet before emptying or refilling the water tank. Open the Water Fill Door located on the side of the unit. The Water Level Indicator is located at the front of the unit. Refill the water tank when the water level is low. Do not fill water above the “Max.” water level mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers. Check the water level in the tank before running the COOL function.
Make sure that the water in the tank is above the minimum water level mark. Running the unit in COOL mode with inadequate water may cause pump failure. Note: The water capacity refers to the total volume of water that can be contained within the air cooler water tank and water distribution system. The water capacity in the tank at the “Max.” indicator level may be lower than the actual water capacity of the air cooler.
CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
Below are instructions on how to clean and maintain your air cooler. 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 it 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
Removing the Carbon Dust Filter*/ Honeycomb Cooling Media:
- Remove all the screws from the Rear Grill.
- Carefully push the left and right sides of the rear grill and pull out from the cooler.
- Pull out the Carbon Dust Filter* and clean it with water as needed.
- To release the Honeycomb Media pull out the Rear Frame and slide the Honeycomb out of the frame.
- Replace or clean media with water and a damp cloth as needed.
WARNING:
- The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* & 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.
