Important Safeguards

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:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or 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 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 the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or disabled persons.
7. Always unplug the air purifier 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.
8. NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of the unit.
9. 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.
10. 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 Jarden Consumer Solutions may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. 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.
13. Keep unit away 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 Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized Jarden Consumer Solutions Center.
15. DO NOT place anything on top of unit.
16. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass purifier, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the appliance.
17. Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
18. 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.
19. This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.
20. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed control device.

Important Safety Instructions

Plug Safety

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, THIS PRODUCT HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will fit into a polarized 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 ALTER THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.

Cord Safety

• The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.
• 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 electrical rating of the air purifier (see rating label marked on product).
• Care must be taken to arrange the cord so it will not drape over the countertop or be pulled on by children or accidentally fall over.

Get to Know Your Air Purifier

• Your Holmes® air purifier features a filter that removes up to 99% of airborne particles as small as 2 microns, and helps capture dust, pollen, mold spores and pet dander from air passing through the filter.
• Arm & Hammer® baking soda additive helps absorb and eliminate household odors.
• An optional ionizer naturally improves air quality and helps freshen the air.

Ionizer

This appliance has an optional ionizer that, when turned on, releases negative ions into the 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 and on the ground. Both positive and negative ions are odorless, and harmless.

How Does The Ionizer Work?

Negative ions help air purification by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the air. These particles take on a negative charge and may join together 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.

Important Notes:

• Your ionizer may produce an occasional cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a buildup of ions is discharged.
• After extended use, you may notice dust on the unit or front panel. This is caused by negative ions attracting dust particles near the air outlet, evidence of the ionizer's effectiveness. You can remove the dust with a dry or clean, damp cloth.
