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:
- Read all instructions before using appliance.
- To avoid fire and shock
hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
- If
the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: remove plastic bag over filter
before use.
- 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.
- To protect against electrical hazards DO NOT immerse in water
or other liquids. Do not use near water.
- Close supervision is necessary
whan any appliance is used by, or near children or by disabled people.
- 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.
- NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use outdoors.
- 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.
- Keep unit from heated surfaces and open
flames.
- 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 qualified
personnel only.
- 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.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.
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 recommended
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
- 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 approximately 1 foot away from the wall, in a central location of your
home.
- 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.
- Remove HEPA filter by gripping on both
sides and pulling forward.
- Remove protective plastic bag from the filter
cartridge.
- 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: The side with the soft gasket should face inward. 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)
- Replace front grill back onto unit securely.
DO NOT POINT OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
- Select the desired operating
speed. Holmes Air Purifiers have two
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.
- To release negative
ions into the filtered air slide the ionizer switch to ON and the light
will illuminate.
- 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.
- The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft, dampened
cloth.
- The front grill can be removed and washed in warm soapy water (not
dishwasher safe). Dry before replacing in the unit.
- 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
- Filter Check Indicator – There are three different types of indicators
used in our 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.
- Every few weeks, check the condition of
the filters.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Units with a filter reminder dial should be set ahead 3-6
months depending on usage.
 Units which have an indicator light must be
reset once 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 rubber gasket should be facing towards the unit when applied.- 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.
