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 |
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. 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.

PLUG SAFETY
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 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

•Arm & Hammer® baking soda and carbon help absorb and eliminate household odors.
•Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and helps freshen the air.
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
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 fan on.
HEPA-TYPE FILTER
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at
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 HI ( 
) setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air.
FILTER DATE WHEEL
This convenient feature helps you keep track of when to change the filter.
BEFORE USE
1.Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet.
2.If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use and place filters into unit.
3.DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1.Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2.The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft, clean dampened cloth.
3.The rear air inlet grill can be removed 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.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
•DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the HEPA-type filter.
NOTE:
Every few weeks, check the condition of filters. Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage. Under normal conditions of continuous use, the
To replace your filter:
1.Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2.Open the air inlet grill and examine the foam prefilter. Remove any dust or lint, and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse, drip dry, and place back into grill inlet.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, THIS PRODUCT
HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit into a polarized 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

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.
