DEVICE COMPONENTS

Filters Included:

1. True HEPA Aer1 Filters 2 Carbon Filters to be installed at initial set up
2. Washable pre-filter on the inside of the air intake grill

PREPARING YOUR DEVICE FOR USE

1. Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet.
2. Remove the air inlet grill and check if the filter is covered by a plastic bag. If it is, remove plastic bag before use.
3. The carbon filters are packed in a plastic bag in the box. Remove plastic bag, use the provided adhesive fastener to attach the carbon filters onto the upper edge of the frame on the Aer1® filters. Then, place all filters back into the unit, and reinstall the air inlet grill.
4. Place unit 12 inches from surrounding objects. DO NOT PLACE the air intake grill or the rear of unit directly against the wall, furniture or other objects.

HOW TO USE YOUR DEVICE

1. Ionizer
2. Fan/mode selection

AIR QUALITY SENSOR-AUTO CLEAN SETTING

Your Air Purifier is equipped with an Air Quality Sensor for the Auto Clean Setting to cycle between low, medium and high speeds, based on surrounding indoor air quality. This setting can be selected directly on the Air Purifier. Once this setting is selected, your Air Purifier will run upon startup in order to quickly analyze surrounding air quality. The auto clean light will be flashing and it will sample the air for 2 minutes. Once air quality has been determined, the unit may switch to a different fan/filtration speed for optimal filtration. The auto clean light will be flashing and the Air Quality Sensor may adjust fan/filtration speeds at varying rates as it continues to measure air quality during use.

MAINTENANCE YOUR DEVICE

The control panel will display "REPLACE FILTER" when it is time to replace your filters.

1. Turn the Air Purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2. The outside of the Air Purifier can be cleaned with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The Air Intake Grill (front cover) can be removed and the washable foam pre-filter can be taken off of the grill. Wash pre-filter in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. The air intake grill can also be washed in warm soapy water. Air dry before re installing. The Filtered Air Outlet can be cleaned of dust with a small, soft brush or a damp cloth.
4. Using a cotton swab, access the Air Quality Sensor by opening the small access door between the 2 Aer1 filters in the filter chamber. Gently insert the cotton swab and wipe the Glass Optical Plates to remove any settled particulates. Close the air quality sensor access door and reassemble air intake door assembly.
5. If you wish to clean the inside of the Filter Chamber, please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

During this maintenance, this is also the recommended interval to change the Carbon filters. You can order these online at holmesproducts.com. Model AOR31.

Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the internal parts of the Air Purifier.

HOLMES AIR PURIFIER FILTERS

• DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the Aer1 Filters or Carbon filters.
• If the filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove them before use.

NOTE: Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage. Under normal conditions of continuous use, the Aer1 Total Air, Odor and Smoke Filter will last 4 months while the True HEPA Allergen and Allergen Performance Plus Filter will last 12 months. Installed in this unit at the time of purchase (installed at original purchase) is the True HEPA Allergen Filter. Check the condition of the Carbon Filters and replace if needed. Carbon pre-filter need to be replaced every 60-90 days.

The unit will notify you when the Aer1® filters need changed in your Air Purifier.
To replace the filters, use the following steps.

1. Once you have purchased the new filters and are ready to install them, follow the instructions below.
2. Open the Air Intake Grill and examine the black foam pre-filter. Remove any dust or lint and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse, wring excess water and air dry prior to installing in unit.
3. Remove the used Aer1 filters and carbon filters from the unit by pulling it gently towards you and discard both the Aer1 and carbon filters. DO NOT attempt to clean the Aer1 filters.
4. To replace the carbon filters, simply remove the old carbon filters with the adhesive fastener, and insert new carbon filters in place after first removing from the plastic bag. Using the new adhesive fastener provided with the carbon filters, attach the new carbon filters onto the new Aer1 filters.
5. Install 2 new Aer1 filters into the unit. Both the arro ws on the filter clip and on the Aer1 filter sticker should point towards the unit. The unit has hanging tabs to slide the filter clip onto.
   
6. Align the clip on the side of Aer1 filter with rails on the inside of 6 the purifier unit. Slide the filter onto the rail and ensure it is securely seated.
   
7. Replace Air Intake Grill by positioning the bottom into the grooves in the appliance and then snapping the top into place.
8. Ensure the unit is plugged into a power outlet. Then reset the filter check indicator by pressing and holding the Fan/Mode button for 6 seconds. The "replace filter" indicator will no longer illuminate when it is reset.

WHAT IS AN IONIZER

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.

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 your Air Purifier fan on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often will I need to change the filters in my Holmes Air Purifier?
See filter option section.

How do I choose which setting to put my Air Purifier on?
Based on your geographical location and season, your fan/mode selections may vary. For high pollutants and allergens, run on the high setting. If you are sensitive to noise, we recommend running on the low setting, especially at night. For constant monitoring and general clean air, we recommend running the unit on the AUTO CLEAN setting.

Why does the device make so much noise

The operation of a Air Purifier produces a fan like noise. Note the lower speed setting will produce a lower noise, but also a slower clean air delivery rate. There are several ways to reduce the noise, including making sure the air intake door and filters are installed correctly and all doors are fully closed. Verify that the unit exhaust (rear) is stationed at least 1 foot away from wall or furniture.
