GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER

Your Holmes ® air purifier features a HEPA-Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne dust and pollen as small as 2 microns, and helps reduce smoke, mold spores and pet dander from air passing through the filter.
Arm & Hammer ® baking soda and carbon help absorb and eliminate household odors.
Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and helps freshen the air.

IONIZER

This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air to help the air purification process.

What Are Ions?
Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless, and harmless.

How Does The Ionizer Work?
Negative ions help air purification by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander to form larger particles. These larger particles are then more easily captured by the filter system.

information Important Notes:
Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small buildup of ions is discharged.

After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills or front panel. This is caused by negative ions exiting the air outlet, evidence of the ionizer's air cleaning effectiveness. You can remove the dust with a soft brush or clean, damp cloth.

Larger particles may be attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls or floors.

This may occur more frequently when the filter is nearing the end of its useful product life and unable to capture as many charged particles.
Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the filter and interfere with the ionization process.

To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces throughout your home:

You may want to run the ionizer less often.
Check the condition of the filter more frequently.

The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the air purifier fan on.

HEPA-TYPE FILTER

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at 2 microns or larger, from the air that passes through them. These include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and pollen.

*Tested and listed by the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS

For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes^® air purifier continuously on the MEDIUM (2) setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the LOW (1) setting. When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH (3) setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air.

FILTER CHECK INDICATOR

The filter indicator light eliminates guesswork by letting you know when it is time to replace the filters.

BEFORE USE

Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet.
Remove the air inlet grill and check if the filter is covered by a plastic bag. If it is, remove plastic bag before use and place filters into unit. Reinstall the air inlet grill.
DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The Filter Check Indicator light will blink three times to indicate that the feature has been activated.
Select the desired operating speed; HI (3), MEDIUM (2), LOW (1), by turning Speed Control Knob to the appropriate setting. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate the air purifier continuously. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use.
To release negative ions into the filtered air, press the ionizer button () to ON and the outer ring of the button will illuminate in blue.
NOTE: The ionizer will not work unless the unit is running.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
The air inlet grill (reference Figure 1) can be removed and washed in warm soapy water (not dishwasher safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.
The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush.
If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier, please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the main housing of the air purifier.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the HEPA-type filter.
If the filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove them before use.

NOTE:
Every few weeks, check the condition of filters. Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage. Under normal conditions of continuous use, the HEPA-type filter will operate efficiently for 3-6 months.

After approximately 4 months of operation, the Filter Check Indicator will light up to alert you to replace filters before further use.

To replace your filter:

Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
Open the air inlet grill and examine the black foam prefilter. Remove any dust or lint, and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse, drip dry, and place back into grill inlet.
Remove HEPA-type filter from the unit by pulling it gently towards you and discard it. DO NOT attempt to clean the old HEPA-type filter.
Install the new HAPF30 HEPA-type filter into the unit. This model utilizes a hang tab and filter clips to insure that the filter is properly in place. Before replacing the filter, make sure that the hang tab is securely in place. The clip can only be attached to the tabs on the filter one way. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang tab with only a small amount of pressure. DO NOT use force while attaching the clip to the filter. (Fig. 2)
Align the clip on the side of HEPA-type filter with rails on the inside of the purifier unit. Gently slide the filter onto the rail. (Fig. 3)
Replace air inlet grill.
To reset the Filter Check Indicator, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. The Indicator light will blink three times and turn off.
