Holmes HAP702-NTU-1 Instruction Manual - Page 2

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 filters 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 may cause a static charge to build up on the air outlet grill. A static charge may be felt if the unit is not properly grounded. To avoid a static charge, plug the unit's three-prong plug into a grounded outlet. The static charge will not occur if the ionizer is off. 18. 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. 19. This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F. 20. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed control device. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3-PRONG PLUG To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a grounding type plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. FEATURES POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS • 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 bottom of the 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 This unit is compatible with all Aer1® Filters. This allows you to choose the filter that is just right for you. Below is information on each filter: TOTAL AIR - Advanced Dust Eliminating Technology ODOR ELIMINATOR - 10x the odor fighting power ALLERGEN REMOVER - True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers ALLERGEN PERFORMANCE PLUS - True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers. SMOKE GRABBER - 99% effective at removing smoke from the air steam (*as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter) 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. 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. 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. HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes® air purifier continuously on the MEDIUM ( ) setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of 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. FILTER CHECK INDICATOR Your Holmes Air Purifier includes Aer1® Allergen Performance Plus Filter, specially designed to improve air quality for allergy sufferers!!
