BEFORE USE
1. Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level
place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or
filtered air outlet.
2. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove
plastic bag before use and place filter into unit.
3. Select current month on the filter reminder dial. This
will serve as reference for when filter replacement is
needed.
4. DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS
WALL.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Select the desired operating speed from HIGH (III),
MEDIUM (II) or LOW (I) by turning the knob to the
desired setting.
3. To release negative ions into the filtered air, turn the
ionizer knob to ON ( ) and the light will illuminate.
For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate the
air purifier continuously. Its rugged motor has been
designed to provide many years of use.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a
soft, clean dampened cloth.
3. The front air inlet grill can be removed and washed in
warm soapy water (not dishwasher safe). Dry before
replacing in the unit.
4. The filtered air outlet can be cleaned of dust with a
small, soft brush.
5. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,
please only use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.
WARNING: Do not allow moisture to come in contact
with the main housing of the air purifier.
• 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
• Your Holmes ® air purifier features a HEPA-type filter
that removes up to 99% of airborne dust and pollen
as small as 2 microns, and helps reduce smoke, mold
spores and pet dander from air passing through the
filter.
• Arm & Hammer ® baking soda and carbon help
absorb and eliminate household odors.
• Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and
helps freshen the air.
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 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.
To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces
throughout your home:
• You may want to run the ionizer less often.
• Check the condition of the filter 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 fan on.
HEPA-TYPE FILTER
HEPA-type (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are
designed to remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at
2 microns or larger, from the air that passes through
them. These include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet
dander and pollen.
HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW SPEED
SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes ® air
purifier continuously on the MEDIUM (II) setting. Its
rugged motor has been designed to give many years of
use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select
LOW (I) setting. When high levels of air pollution are
present, select the HIGH (III) setting to quickly circulate
and filter the room air.
FILTER REMINDER DIAL
This convenient feature helps you keep track of when to
change the filter.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
Every few weeks, check the condition of the HEPA-type
fitler.
•
Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and
usage.
• Under normal conditions of continuous use, the
HEPA-type will operate efficiently for 3-6 months.
• Use Filter Reminder Dial to keep track on how long
a filter has been in use.
1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Remove the air inlet grill. Remove and examine the
foam pre-filter. If it has collected a noticeable
amount of dust or lint, remove it from the inlet of
the grill and wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and
drip dry the pre-filter thoroughly before replacing it
into the inlet of the grill.
3. With the front grill removed, check the condition of
the HEPA-type filter. Your air purifier has a convenient
filter condition sticker that serves as a color-coded
reference point to help in deciding on when to change
the filter. If the filter is dirty, remove the used
HEPA-type cartridge and properly dispose of it. DO
NOT try to wash and re-use the HEPA-type filter.
4. Install the new HAPF30 filter into the unit. This
model utilizes a hang tab and filter clips to insure
that the filter is properly in place. Before replacing
the filter, make sure that the hang tab is securely in
place. The clip can only be attached to the tabs on
the filter one way. The filter clip should easily slide
onto the filter hang tab with only a small amount of
pressure. DO NOT use force while attaching the clip
to the filter.
5. Align the clip on the top of HEPA-type filter with rails
on the inside of the purifier unit. Gently slide the
filter onto the rail. (Figure 2)
6. Replace air inlet grill.
