CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

PLASTIC HOUSING – A soft damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner may be used to remove any excessive dirt or fingerprints. Treated like any other quality appliance, your Holmes

unit will

retain its attractive appearance for many years. Do not wash the multi-stage filter cartridge. This is a disposable

item.

CHANGING THE FILTER

To keep your Holmes®Air Purifier operating at its peak efficiency, the multi-stage filter cartridge should be replaced on a regular basis. While the length of time between filter changes will vary based on the amount of use and the conditions in which the unit is run, it will be approximately every three months. To change the filter, use the following steps. Remember, always unplug the unit when cleaning it or changing the filter.

1. Looking at the back of the unit, notice the unit’s plastic finger tab at the top of the filter and a pull tab on the filter. Gently pull up on the finger tab while pulling on the filter tab. The filter should pull away from the unit.

2. Discard the used filter, gently wipe the inlet grill taking care not to damage the foam.

3. Remove the replacement filter from its packaging and its sealed bag. Mark on the "Replacement Filter" sticker the date on which the filter should likely be replaced. This date should be approximately three months from date of installation.

4. Install the filter by placing the carbon (black) side towards the unit and introducing the bottom of the filter into the filter cavity. The filter will be resting against the sealing foam and on the filter support ledges.

5. Pivot the top of the filter towards the unit and push it into position. The unit filter tab should latch on the filter.
