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:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
This unit is compatible with all Aer1 ® Filters. This allows you to choose the filter that is just right for you. Below is information on each filter:
TOTAL AIR - Advanced Dust Eliminating Technology
ODOR ELIMINATOR - 10x the odor fighting power
ALLERGEN REMOVER - 99.97% True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers
ALLERGEN PERFORMANCE PLUS - 99.99% True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers.
SMOKE GRABBER - 99% effective at removing smoke from the air steam (*as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter)
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.
To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces throughout your home:
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 air purifier fan on.
For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes ® air purifier continuously on the MEDIUM (2) setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the LOW (1) setting. When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH (3) setting to quickly circulate and filter the air in the room.
Your Holmes ® Air Purifier includes Aer1 ® Total-Air Filter(s), specially designed to deliver cleaner air allowing you to dust less often!! The Aer1 ® Total-Air filter(s) last 4 months. See back panel for other filter options. The Visipure ® Filter Viewing Window (Fig. 1 - C) is a lens which allows you to get a clear view of the dirt being collected in the filter and see if the filter needs replacement. The Filter Reminder Dial (Fig. 1 - D) helps you keep track of when to change the filter.

NOTE: Make sure air purifier is placed at least 1 foot away from wall or large objects.
Do not allow moisture to come in contact with internal components.
NOTE: Every few weeks, check the condition of filter(s). The Visipure ® Filter Viewing Window is a lens which allows you to get a clear view of the dirt being collected in the filter. The Filter Reminder Dial also helps you keep track of when to change the filters. Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage (see below). Filters that have accumulated a layer of particles and present discoloration can reduce the air purifier performance and need to be exchanged for new filters. Under normal conditions of continuous use, the Aer1 ® Total Air, Odor and Smoke Filters will last 4 months while the Allergen and Allergen Performance Plus Filters will last 12 months.
After approximately 4 months of operation, check the condition of the filter through the Visipure ® Filter Viewing Window to see how much dust has been accumulated on the filters and use Filter Reminder Dial to keep track on how long a filter has been in use.
