CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• To avoid fire or 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 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 when any appliance is

used by or near children, or disabled persons.

• Always unplug the air cleaner before moving or

cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters

and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the

unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.

• NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of

the unit.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or

plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has

been dropped or damaged in any manner, return

appliance to manufacturer for examination and/or repair.

• Use appliance only for 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

manufacturer may cause hazards.

• DO NOT use outdoors.

• NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa

as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the

air inlet or outlet grills.

• Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.

• DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

• 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 Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized

Jarden Consumer Solutions Service Center.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock, DO NOT use this air cleaner with any solid-

state speed control device.

• Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

• NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner,

furniture polish, paint thinner or other household

solvents to clean any part of the air cleaner.

• The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than

the UL established limits of 50ppb (parts per billion).

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.

• This appliance should only be used in a room with

temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE

1. Carefully unpack your air purifier.

2. Select a firm, level surface with no obstructions to the

air inlets or outlets.

3.

Both HEPA and carbon filters are covered by a plastic

bag to protect their freshness. Before using your purifier,

REMOVE THESE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC BAGS

FROM FILTERS:

• Open the back grill of the air purifier by gently

pulling it towards you. Gently lift the back grill to

remove. (see Figure 3).

• After removing the plastic bags, reassemble the

filters to unit.

• Carbon filter should follow the PCO filter, then the

HEPA filter, then the pre-filter.

• Reinstall the back grill. (see Figure 5).

4. Connect the power adaptor to the power jack (under

rear grill) on the air purifier, and plug the power

adaptor into a 120V AC outlet.

AIR PURIFIER FEATURES:

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

This air purifier uses a UV-C bulb.

HEPA-TYPE PERMANENT FILTER

HEPA-type permanent filter removes up to 99% of

airborne allergens as small as 2 microns, including

ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust,

dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke

from the air passing through it. Permanent filter can be

vacuumed every few weeks for optimal performance.

HIGH AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS

For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes

®

air

purifier continuously on the HIGH (Hi) setting. For quieter

operation (such as in a bedroom), select the LOW (Lo)

setting.

OPTIONAL IONIZER

This appliance has an ionizer, which 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 completely harmless to humans.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Always clean the filter at the recommended

intervals (See Cleaning and Maintenance). Using the

ionizer with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting

the air purifier and attracting to walls, carpets, furniture,

or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove

difficult to remove.

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

5-Stage Air Purification System

Your air purifier uses a five-stage air purification system to

help purify the air that passes through the filter (see Figure 2):

STAGE 1 - The air first flows through the pre-filter and

captures larger particles, thus extending the life of the

HEPA filter.

STAGE 2 - HEPA-type permanent filter removes up to

99% of airborne allergens as small as 2 microns,

including ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen,

household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander

and smoke from the air passing through it.

STAGE 3 - Carbon filter absorbs and eliminates common

household odors, such as garbage or nursery smells.

STAGE 4 -Photocatalyst filter combines UV rays with a

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) coated filter. This process creates

hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions, which are highly

reactive electrons aggressively combined with other

elements in the air, such as VOCs (which include harmful

pollutants, such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and many

other common contaminates) released by building

materials and household cleaners generally found in the

home.

STAGE 5 - UV Bulb

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the unit:

1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.

2. The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a soft,

clean damp cloth.

3. The air inlet grill can be cleaned with a soft, clean

damp cloth.

4. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a

small soft brush.

5. If you wish to clean the filter chamber of the air

purifier, please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it

down. DO NOT WASH Photocatalyst filter and Carbon

filter. The Pre-filter (K) can be washed by using a

mild dish soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

6. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner,

furniture polish, paint thinner or other household

solvents to clean any part of the air purifier.

WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in contact

with the main housing of the air purifier.

FILTER CLEANING/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Note: On average, your HEPA-type permanent filter

needs to be cleaned every few weeks, it is designed to

never need replacement. However, regular cleaning is

important for optimal performance, and we also

recommend replacement for a new HEPA-type permanent

filter after frequent cleaning. Carbon filter needs to be

replaced every 3-4 months. Filter life will vary depending

on air quality and usage.

1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier before replacing

the filters. Remove the rear grill.

2. Remove the filters from the unit by pulling them

gently towards you.

3. To replace the carbon filter, simply remove the old

carbon filter and insert a new carbon filter in its place

after first removing the plastic bag (see figure 3).

Use the plastic tabs on the back grill door as a

guildeline.
