FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
• DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the Aer1® Filters.
• If the filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove
them before use.
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 bottom of the product).
• 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.
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER
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 PERFORMANCEPLUS - 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)
IONIZER
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.
• This may occur more frequently when the filter is
nearing the end of its usable product life and is
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.
To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces
throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ionizer less often.
• Performance the condition of the filter(s) more
frequently.
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 air purifier
fan on.
HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED
SETTINGS
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 filter and
circulate the room air.
