IONIZER

Your Air Purifier has an 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, damp cloth or soft brush.

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.
NOTE: It is important to replace the 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.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To keep your Holmes^® Air Purifier operating at its peak efficiency, the multi-stage filter cartridge should be replaced on a regular basis. While the length of time between filter changes will vary based on the amount of use and the conditions in which the unit is run, it will be approximately every three months. To change the filter, use the following steps. Remember, always unplug the unit when cleaning it or changing the filter.

1. Looking at the back of the unit, notice the unit's plastic finger tab at the top of the filter and a pull tab on the filter. Gently pull up on the finger tab while pulling on the filter tab. The filter should pull away from the unit.
2. Discard the used filter, gently wipe the inlet grill taking care not to damage the foam.
3. Remove the replacement filter from its packaging and its sealed bag. Mark on the "Replacement Filter" sticker the date on which the filter should likely be replaced. This date should be approximately three months from date of installation.
4. Install the filter by placing the white side towards the unit and introducing the bottom of the filter into the filter cavity. The filter will be resting against the sealing foam and on the filter support ledges.
5. Pivot the top of the filter towards the unit and push it into position. The filter tab should latch on the filter.
