and washed in warm soapy water (not dishwasher

safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.

4. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a

small, soft brush.

5.

If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,

please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.

WARNING:

Do not allow moisture to come in

contact with the main housing of the air purifier.

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 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

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 is

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.

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.

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 avoid fire or shock hazard, 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. To protect against electrical hazards, 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 hazards.

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 will 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. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass purifier,

furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household

solvents to clean any part of the appliance.

17. Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

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.
