USE & OPERATION
CONTROL PANEL
FUNCTION BUTTONS
POWER
Press the 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 – Medium –
Low. The indicator light will show the selected speed:
COOL
Press the COOL button until is illuminated on the display screen. 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
is not illuminated on the display screen, the unit switches to a fan only
mode, without evaporative cooling.
WARNING: Please ensure sufficient water is in the water tank otherwise you may hear a Low Water Alarm and the cooler will start in a Fan only mode without evaporative cooling.
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 (unit
remains in Standby mode until power cord is unplugged from 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 is illuminated on the display screen.
The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically.
Vertical Air Flow – You can manually adjust the louvers to change vertical air
flow.
NATURAL
Press the NATURAL button until is illuminated on the display screen. The fan
will randomly change between High, Medium and Low speeds to mimic a natural
breeze.
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
POWER : ON / OFF
SPEED : Low / Medium / High COOL : Controls cooling or fan option
SWING : Controls the motion of the louvers
TIMER : Controls the Timer function for automatic off
NATURAL : Turns on Natural mode
Note:
- The remote control requires AAA (2 x 1.5V) batteries for replacement.
- Open the battery compartment at the back of the remote control and insert the batteries 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.
WARNING: Caution for ingestion of the small battery. Keep away from children and animals.
COOLER LOCATION
Make sure to position the air cooler correctly before you set up and start using the product. Please refer to the COOLER LOCATION section of the separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.
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 side of the unit. Refill the water
tank when 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.
Note: If ice is available, you may add ice in the top ice compartment to
enhance the cooling performance.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can
damage the unit and Honeycomb media.
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 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 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
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 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 and drain it completely.
- Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level.
- 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* & 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 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 air flow. Draining the
water tank and refilling 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.
Removing the Carbon Dust Filter*/ Honeycomb Cooling Media:
- Remove all the screws from the Rear Grill of the Air Cooler.
- Carefully pull out the rear grill from the cooler.
- Slide out the Carbon Dust Filter* and clean with water.
- The Honeycomb Cooling Media is secured on the Honeycomb Frame by a Horizontal Bar that is fixed in place by two screws. Remove these two screws to release the Horizontal Bar and slide the Honeycomb out of the frame.
- Replace or clean media with water and a damp cloth as needed.
WARNING: DO NOT operate the Air Cooler when the Rear Grill or Honeycomb Frame is removed from the Air Cooler, or if there is a loose-fitting Rear Grill or Honeycomb Frame. Doing so can cause serious injury or dangerous electrical shock.
*Applicable for models with Carbon Dust Filter only.
