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 airflow. 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 the 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.
IMPORTANT: Honeywell Outdoor Air Cooler models are designed to IPX4 product standards and not recommended to be placed outdoors during heavy rain or snow.
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.
WARNING : Always switch OFF the Air Cooler and unplug it from the
electrical source before cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning
At least once a week, drain the water tank completely and refill it 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.
Carbon Dust Filter is available in specific models of Honeywell Air Coolers only. Check the User Manual for your model to see if it includes a Carbon Dust Filter.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Customer Service Center: See the last page of the User Manual to find the contact details for the Customer Service Center for your area.
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|
No discharge of air.
|
The cord is not plugged in.
| Make sure the power cord is plugged in and the switch is ON.
The 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.
|
The pump is not turned ON.
|
Turn on the COOL function from remote or control panel.
Low or no water in the tank, when COOL is selected.
|
Refill water tank.
Damaged Pump or Calcium deposits on the 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. 75% 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.
