cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical

GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER

• Your Holmes®Odor Grabber PlusTMPurifier features an
Arm & Hammer®enhanced HEPA-type filter that helps
fight common household odors and remove particles such
as dust, pollen, mold spores and pet dander from the air
passing through the filter.

• 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
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.

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.

TWO SPEED SETTINGS

Select from HIGH (II) or LOW (I) speed settings depending
on the room air quality.

FILTER REMINDER DIAL

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. Pull air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger
tabs on both sides.

3. Remove carbon pre-filter by pulling off prongs.

4. Remove plastic bag from carbon pre-filter.
