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 the 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.
USE & OPERATION
CONTROL PANEL
FUNCTION BUTTONS
- SPEED / ON-OFF
Connect to the power supply and turn the SPEED knob. The fan will start. Change the speed from 3 to 1 (1 for Low, 2 for Medium, and 3 for High fan speed). To switch OFF the unit, turn the SPEED knob to 0. - COOL
You must add water before operating the unit in Cool mode. Turn the COOL knob to the ON position to activate evaporative cooling. The water pump will operate and you will feel the cooler air after the Honeycomb Cooling Media is completely wet. - SWING
Turn the SWING knob to the ON position to activate the movement of the louvers. The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically. Vertical Air Flow – You can manually adjust the lever located at the front of the unit to change the vertical airflow.
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
It is ideal to use the Continuous Water Supply Connection to run the unit for long periods without refilling the tank. This also helps prevent pump failure in case the cooler is running with inadequate water in the tank.
Note: The garden hose is not included. Please make use of a garden hose that is compatible with the unit connection.
- Locate the male connector at one end of the garden hose. Insert the garden hose connector into the water inlet valve of the cooler. Screw and tighten the water inlet valve onto the threaded part of the garden hose connector, making sure the hose connector is secured to ensure there will be no leaks. If there is leakage, the hose, and the water inlet valve may not be connected properly. Try to disconnect, replace, and tighten the water inlet valve again.
- When the connection is secured, turn ON the water supply and the water will flow into the water tank of the cooler.
- The cooler is now set so the water refills automatically when the water tank is empty, or when the water reaches below a minimum level.
- When the water tank is full, the water inlet valve will automatically.
- Please open the water valve for minimum flow as too much pressure could damage the inlet pressure control system.
CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
If the cooler will not be used for a long period, 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 away from direct sunlight.
CLEANING THE HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
- The appliance is supplied with three Honeycomb Cooling Media pads.
- The Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear and Side Grills. Follow Steps 1 to 5 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.
Removing the Honeycomb Cooling Media:
- Remove the screws from the Rear Grill of the Air Cooler.
- Carefully pull out the Rear Grill from the Air Cooler.
- The Honeycomb Cooling Pad is secured on the Rear Grill by two Horizontal Bars that are fixed in place by two screws on the Left and Right Sides of these Horizontal Bars. Remove these screws to release the Horizontal Bars.
- Pull out the Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding it out from the Rear Grill. Replace with the new Honeycomb Cooling Pad by sliding into the grooves of the Rear Grill until it fits comfortably and securely in place on the grill. Replace the Horizontal Bars onto the Rear Grill by replacing the Left and Right Side screws and tightening them in place. This secures the Honeycomb Cooling Pad in place on the Rear Grill.
- Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the Honeycomb Cooling Pad on the Left and Right Side Grills.
WARNING: DO NOT operate the Air Cooler when any or all of the Rear or Side Grills are removed from the Air Cooler, or if there is a loose-fitting Rear or Side Grill. Doing so can cause serious injury or dangerous electrical shock.

FAQs About Honeywell CO610PM Portable Evaporative Air Cooler
How do evaporative coolers from Honeywell operate?
Warm air is taken into a Honeywell Air Cooler and travels through cooling media made of a wet honeycomb. Cooler, more humid air is produced as a result of its mixing with the water contained in the honeycomb, which causes the water to evaporate and lose heat.
What is the duration of the evaporative cooler’s operation?
Before cool air is anticipated to emerge from the duct outlets, the pads of the Evaporative Cooler must be pre-wet. Usually, this takes five minutes or so. Certain versions include an extra delay before the damper opens, which can cause the operation to take up to eight minutes.
To what extent can evaporative coolers lower the temperature of indoor air?
A single room’s temperature can be dropped by 5° to 15°F with these. There are now also small, wheeled evaporative coolers that are portable. Despite the units’ portability, the humidity level in your house affects how well they cool down.
Is it possible to go from evaporative to refrigeration cooling?
Indeed, we are more than capable of handling your evaporative conversion. Nevertheless, as the refrigerated and evaporative cooling ducts differ greatly, they cannot be used interchangeably. Additionally, using the current outlets is not an option.
When does evaporative cooling stop functioning?
If properly constructed, an evaporative cooling system may operate extremely well up to a wet bulb temperature of 22 degrees Celsius. It can also be utilized in more humid places, up to a wet bulb temperature of 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, although the number of uncomfortable days is significantly increased.
What is the capacity of a Honeywell evaporative cooler?
Capacity of water tank: 12.7 gallons or 60 liters.
How is an evaporative air cooler made by Honeywell cleaned?
After turning off the air cooler, disconnect it from the power source. Using a moist cloth, clean the water tank to remove any dust or mineral buildup.
How is a Honeywell cooler filled?
On the side of the device, open the water-fill door. The unit’s front is where you can find the water level indicator. When the water level is low, refill the tank.
Do nighttime evaporative coolers operate?
One of the oldest and most efficient forms of cooling in use today is evaporative cooling. Any time of day or night, these coolers transform hot air into cool, fresh air with a few basic parts.
Does indoor evaporative cooling function?
Even if there are some conditions in which an enclosed building can benefit from evaporative cooling, the cooler won’t perform to its full potential.
