Use & Operation
CONTROL PANEL
Function Button
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, and Low. The indicator light will show the selected speed:
COOL
Press the COOL button until it’s 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.
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 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 it 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.
SLEEP
Press the SLEEP button until it is illuminated on the display screen. When the SLEEP mode is selected, the fan will run on High for one hour, then Medium for the second hour, and on Low speed from the third hour onwards until you switch off the unit.
Room Cooling & 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

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
The Water Level Indicator is located on the side 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.
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 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
- 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.
- Detach the water tank by unlocking the Detachable Water Tank Latches on both sides of the unit.
- Lift the cooler upwards away from the base and place it carefully and vertically on the floor.
- Refill the water tank with clean water and drain it completely.
- Clean the water tank with dish detergent or a damp cloth and rinse it thoroughly.
- Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level.
- Replace the top of the air cooler carefully back onto the tank and lock the side latches.
- The air cooler is now ready to be used.
- Use a damp cloth to remove 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 Honeywell CL30XC Portable Air Cooler unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
Carbon Dust Filter
- 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.
- 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 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 Honeywell CL30XC Portable Air Cooler Cooling Media to dry after each use by turning off the cool function 15 minutes before turning the unit off.
Removing
- 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.

FAQs
How does the Honeywell CL30XC Portable Air Cooler work?
Using evaporative cooling technology, the CL30XC lowers air temperatures and raises humidity in hot, dry conditions by drawing warm air through a cooling pad saturated with water.
What size room is this air cooler suitable for?
This device offers efficient localised or personal cooling and is perfect for small to medium-sized spaces, usually up to 320 square feet.
How often do I need to refill the water tank?
Depending on fan speed and ambient conditions, the roughly 3-gallon water tank can last up to eight hours. When the water level is low, refill as necessary.
Can I use ice or frozen water in the tank?
Indeed, adding ice or frozen water bottles can improve the cooling effect and prolong the cooler air output.
Does the CL30XC require a window or exhaust hose like a traditional air conditioner?
No, you can use this evaporative cooler anywhere there is a power outlet because it doesn’t need to be vented through a window or an exhaust line.
How do I clean the cooling pads?
Before reinstalling, remove the cooling pads as directed in the handbook, give them a quick wash with water, and allow them to air dry. Clean frequently to avoid odours and mould.
Can this air cooler humidify a dry room?
Indeed, it adds moisture to the air through evaporative cooling, which is advantageous in arid climes but less suitable in humid ones.
Is the Honeywell CL30XC energy efficient?
Yes, this air cooler is a cost-effective cooling solution because it uses a lot less electricity than conventional air conditioners.
