4.Remove protective plastic bag from the filter cartridge.

5.Return the filter to the unit by tilting the filter cartridge top toward you as you insert the bottom of the cartridge fully into the filter recess. NOTE: black carbon side of filter should be facing outwards. Some filters utilize hang tabs and filter clips. The clip can only be attached to the tabs on the filter one way only. The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang tab with only a small amount of pressure. DO NOT use force while attaching the clip to the filter. Align the clip on the top of the HEPA filter with the rails on the inside of the purifier unit. Gently slide the filter onto the rail. (fig. 1)

6.Replace front grill back onto unit securely.

DO NOT POINT OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

or three different speed settings depending on the model you own. You can select from HI, MED, or LOW by sliding the switch to the desired setting. The power light will illuminate letting you know the power is on.

3.To release negative ions into the filtered air slide the ionizer switch to ON and the light will illuminate.

4.For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate the air purifier continuously. It’s rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use.

For continuous use, it’s recommended to operate the air purifier at the MEDIUM setting. For quieter operation or use 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.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.

1.The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft, dampened cloth.

2.The front grill can be removed and washed in warm soapy water (not dishwasher safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.

3.The top air outlet grill can be cleaned of dust with a small soft brush.

WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in contact with the main housing of the air purifier.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Filter Check Indicator – There are three different types of indicators used in our air purifiers. Your air purifier may have one of the follow- ing: 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 illumi- nates when it is time to change the filter.

2.Every few weeks, check the condition of the filters.

3.Remove the front grill. If the unit is equipped with a foam pre-filter, examine the filter. If it has collected a noticeable amount of dust or lint, remove it from the inlet of the grill and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry the pre-filter thoroughly before replacing it into the inlet of the grill.

4.If there is a separate carbon odor filter it should be replaced every 2- 3 months. This helps extend the life of the HEPA filter and provides optimal odor removal.

5.With the front grill removed, check the condition of your HEPA filter. If the filter is dirty remove the used HEPA cartridge and dispose of it in the garbage. Do NOT try to wash and re-use the HEPA filter. Replace with a new HEPA filter, removing the protective polybag before inserting into the air purifier.

6.Units with a filter reminder dial should be set ahead 3-6 months depending on usage.

7. Units which have an indicator light must be reset once	Figure 2
the HEPA filter has been replaced. Reset indicator by
inserting a small object (such as a pin or paperclip)
into the hole marked reset. (fig. 2)

NOTE: The pleated material and rubber gasket should be facing towards the unit when applied.

8.Filter Life – Under normal conditions of continuous use, the HEPA filter will operate efficiently for 3-6 months.

Replacement filters are available from your local supplier or by calling 1-800-5-HOLMES.
