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:
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. To avoid fire and shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V
AC electrical outlet.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: remove plastic bag over
filter before use.
4. 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.
5. To protect against electrical hazards DO NOT immerse in water or other
liquids. Do not use near water.
6. Close supervision is necessary whan any appliance is used by, or near
children or by disabled people.
7. 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.
8. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Do not use outdoors.
12. 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.
13. Keep unit from heated surfaces and open flames.
14. 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.
15. 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.
OPTIONAL ODOR FILTER
1.) An optional odor filter can be installed in your air purifier. This
filter helps remove unpleasant odors, and extends the life of your main
HEPA filter.
2.) Specialized odor filters are available for targeted odor removal for use
in removing general purpose, smoke, pet/nursery or kitchen odors.
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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Remove HEPA filter by gripping on both sides and pulling forward.
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified
personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE
SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
