Cleaning The Carbon Dust Filter And Honeycomb Cooling Media - Honeywell CL201AE User Manual

USE & OPERATION (CONTINUED)
CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER* AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* and
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.
