Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz- ards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electri- cal rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rat- ing of the air purifier. 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.

TECHNOLOGY
Your Holmes Air Purifier Model HAP240/2404 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
•The purified air is then returned to the room through the top mounted grill. The upward movement of the filtered air promotes efficient room circulation without unpleasant drafts.
•The air purifier will filter the air 6 times an hour in a room 10’x11’ft. (109 sq. ft), 3mx3.6m (10.8m2) 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 either a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally all 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 addi- tional evidence of the
Please Note: It is important to change the HEPA filter at the recom- mended 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. Please remember to change your HEPA and carbon filters regularly to avoid dirty particle discharge that could prove difficult to remove from household objects.
