USER TIPS
What is Evaporative Cooling?
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.
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
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 Honeywell CL30XC Portable Evaporative Air Cooler 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. 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 Parts Description in the User Manual for your model to see if it includes a Carbon Dust Filter.
