14.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical func-

tions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of

performed by qualified personnel only.

15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use

this air purifier with any solid-state speed control device.

Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions

The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz-

ards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer

cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electri-

cal rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rat-

ing 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.

FEATURES

Congratulations on your purchase of a Holmes Air Purifier. Your Holmes

Air Purifier has an attractive stylish design. Its versatility and quiet

operation make this unit perfect for both the home and the office. Your

air purifier will consistently provide you with cleaner air to breathe.

TECHNOLOGY

Your Holmes Air Purifier Model HAP240/2404 incorporates the latest

technology in portable air filtration equipment.

• A powerful turbo fan system, operated by a rugged long life motor,

quietly pulls the air in through the front inlet grill.

• Polluted room air passes through a washable, foam pre-filter that

removes larger airborne particles such as lint, dust and pollen. The

partially filtered air is then drawn through a pleated long life HEPA fil-

ter. This filter removes particles as small as 0.3 microns filtering dust,

pollen, smoke and pet dander. The air then passes through the activat-

ed carbon coated layer which helps filter odors.

• The purified air is then returned to the room through the top mounted

grill. The upward movement of the filtered air promotes efficient room

circulation without unpleasant drafts.

• The air purifier will filter the air 6 times an hour in a room 10’x11’ft.

(109 sq. ft), 3mx3.6m (10.8m2) when on the HI setting.

IONIZER

• Your Holmes air purifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which,

when turned on, releases negative ions into the outgoing filtered air.

Ions are tiny particles that carry either a positive or negative charge.

These ions exist naturally all 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 effect

caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This dust is

drawn out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet. This is addi-

tional evidence of the air-cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The

dust can be easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or soft

brush.

Please Note: It is important to change the HEPA filter at the recom-

mended 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. Please remember to change your HEPA and

carbon filters regularly to avoid dirty particle discharge that could prove

difficult to remove from household objects.

THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC

(Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than

the other). This plug will fit into the power 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 prop-

er outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS

POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
