CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension card may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the air purifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or table- top where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

FEATURES
Congratulations on your purchase of a Holmes Air Purifier. Your Holmes Air Purifier has an attractive stylish design. Its versatility and quiet operation make this unit perfect for both the home and the office.
TECHNOLOGY
Your Holmes Air Purifier Model HAP242, HAP243, HAP244 or HAP246 incorporates the latest technology in portable air filtration equipment.
•A powerful turbo fan system operated by a rugged long life motor, quietly pulls the air in through the front inlet grill.
•Polluted room air passes through a washable, foam pre-filter that removes larger airborne particles such as lint, dust and pollen. The air then passes through the activated carbon coated layer which helps filter odors. The partially filtered air is then drawn through a pleated long life HEPA filter. This filter removes particles as small as 0.3 microns filtering dust, pollen, smoke and pet dander.
The purified air is then returned to the room through the top mounted grill.
•The air purifier will filter the air 6 times an hour in a room 10' x 11' (109 sq. ft.), 3m x3.5m (10.13m2) when on the HI setting.
IONIZER
•Your Holmes air purifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless, and completely harmless.
•Negative ions help the air purification process 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 that are then more readily captured by the filter system, or they may be attracted to positively charged surfaces like walls or floors.
•You may also note, after extended use, that dust may have collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the ionization effect caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This dust is drawn out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air-cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or soft brush.
Please Note: It is important to replace the HEPA filter at the recommended intervals. Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC (Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power 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 DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
