When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using appliance.
2.To avoid fire and 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 over filter 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 in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6.Close supervision is necessary whan any appliance is used by, or near children or by disabled people.
7.Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, opening the grill, changing the filters or whenever the air purifier is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
8.NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.
10.Use appliance only for the 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 the Holmes Group may cause hazards.
11.Do not use outdoors.
12.Never block the air openings, or place on soft surface, such as bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over, blocking the air intake opening.
13.Keep unit from heated surfaces and open flames.
14.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical func- tions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be per- formed by qualified personnel only.
15.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use this air purifier with any solid-state speed control device.
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 cord 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.
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.
Congratulations on your purchase of an Air Purifier. Your Air Purifier has an attractive stylish design. It’s versatility and quiet operation make this unit perfect for both the home and the office.
OPTIONAL ODOR FILTER
1.) An optional odor filter can be installed in your air purifier. This
filter helps remove unpleasant odors, and extends the life of your main HEPA filter.
2.) Specialized odor filters are available for targeted odor removal for use in removing general purpose, smoke, pet/nursery or kitchen odors.
IONIZER
Your Air Purifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into 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 affect caused by the negative ions exiting from 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 recommend- ed 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.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Filter Check Indicator – There are three different types of indicators used by Holmes Air Purifiers. Your air purifier may have one of the following: a filter condition sticker that serves as a color coded reference point. A filter reminder dial that is manually set to remind the user when it is time to replace the filter. Or an indicator light that illuminates when it is time to change the filter.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Carefully unpack your air purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet (front grill) or filtered air outlet (top of unit). A good location in a room is about 2 feet above the floor and approxi- mately 1 foot away from the wall, in a central location of your home.
2.Removal of the front grill varies with different models. Depending on the model you own you will need to do the following: Press grill release buttons on either side of the grill and pull forward, OR pull grill towards you by grasping sides of the grill.
3.Remove HEPA filter by gripping on both sides and pulling forward.
