THESE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
This unit is compatible with all Aer1® Filters. This allows you to choose the filter that is just right for you. Below is information on each filter:
TOTAL AIR - Advanced Dust Eliminating Technology ODOR ELIMINATOR - 10x the odor fighting power ALLERGEN REMOVER - True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers
ALLERGEN PERFORMANCEPLUS - True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers.
SMOKE GRABBER - 99% effective at removing smoke from the air steam (*as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter)
IONIZER
This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing
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.

) has been reset (see instructions above).
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS
SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
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,
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.
NOTE: The ionizer will not work unless the unit is |
running. |
2. | The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a |
| soft, clean damp cloth. |
3. | The air inlet grill (reference Fig. 1) 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 |
