SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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).
2. Remove front grill by lifting up the side latches and pulling the front grill
forward towards you.
3. Locate the carbon filter. Remove the protective plastic bag from the carbon
filter. Insert the Carbon filter against the main (HEPA) filter, so that the sides
of the carbon filter are held by the tabs on the sides of the HEPA filter. Write
the installation date on the top of the HEPA filter.
4. Check to make sure that the HEPA filter is securely in place. TAB (B) should
now be completely visible on the outside of the HEPA filter. If TAB (B) is not
visible, re-install the HEPA filter by inserting the top of the filter first, then
swinging in the bottom of the HEPA filter until it “clicks “ into place.(See fig.
2) Re-check the carbon filter to make sure that it is still securely in place.
5. Locate the battery cover on front of the main housing above the filter.
Pull the battery holder out of its compartment and replace batteries one
at a time (figure 4).
6. Replace the front grill by first inserting the three tabs on the top of the front
grill. Then swing in the bottom of the front grill and press the grill firmly onto
the unit until the grill locks into place against the main housing. Push the side
latches downward to lock on the front grill.
There are four speed settings, the first being the lowest. As you turn the knob
clockwise, the speed increases until you reach the highest setting.

TECHNOLOGY
Your Holmes Air Purifier 500 Model Series incorporates the latest technology in
portable air filtration.
• Exclusive Holmes HEPA filter system removes 99.97% of all airborne particu-
late as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter.
• The No Escape VaccuumSeal™ helps reduce air bypass and ensure maximum
clean air delivery, by sealing the filter against the main housing.
• A powerful turbo fan system, operated by a rugged, long life
GE motor, quietly pulls the air in through the front inlet grill.
• Polluted room air passes through a carbon odor filter that removes larger air-
borne particles such as lint, dust and pollen and also helps filter out odors.
Next the air continues through a pleated long life HEPA filter. This filter
removes particles as small as 0.3 microns filtering dust, pollen, smoke, mold
spores and pet dander.
• The purified air is then returned to the room through the top grill. The upward
movement of the filtered air promotes efficient room circulation without
unpleasant drafts.
Figure 1
To Remove Filter:
1. Grasp filter from tab (A) on top
front of the filter.
2. Lifting upward, swing bottom of
the filter towards you.

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 tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
