IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. 3. If the Filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use. 4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters. 5. DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not use near water. 6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or disabled persons. 7. Always unplug the air purifier before moving or cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filter and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord. 8. NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of the unit. 9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has been dropped or damaged in any manner, return appliance to manufacturer for examination and/or repair. 10. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Jarden Consumer Solutions may cause injuries. 11. DO NOT use outdoors. 12. NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the air inlet or outlet grills. 13. Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames. 14. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so may cause injuries and void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized Jarden Consumer Solutions Center. 15. DO NOT place anything on top of unit. 16. Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it. 17. The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL established limits of 50ppb (parts per billion). 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 fan on. 18. This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F. 19. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed control device. PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PLUG SAFETY CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, THIS PRODUCT HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG IN ANY WAY. HAP242_16EM1.indd 2 FEATURES CORD SAFETY • The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards. • If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the air purifier (see rating label marked on product). • Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. 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. 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 usable 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(s) more frequently. CAUTION: 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. FEATURES - OPERATIONS HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED Fig. 1 SETTINGS For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes® air purifier continuously on the MEDIUM ( ) setting. Its G F E rugged motor has been designed to give many years of H D use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the LOW ( ) setting. When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH ( ) setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air. BEFORE 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. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use and place filters into unit. 3. DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS WALL. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet. 2. Select the desired operating speed. Holmes Air Purifiers have three speed settings. You can select from HIGH ( ), MEDIUM ( ) or LOW ( ), by moving the switch to the desired setting. 3. To release negative ions into the filtered air, move the ionizer switch to ON and the light will illuminate. For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate the air purifier continuously.
