FEATURES

GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER

of the town.

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 proved. Both positive and negative ions are

the ground. Both positive and negative ions are mindless, adress, and completely harmless.

How Does The Junior 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 petander 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 clam, 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(s) and interfere with the ionization process.

To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces

throughout your home:

- Y or may want to run the ionizer less often. - Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently. CAUTION: The ionizer in this oppliance produces less ozone than the UL's established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pits. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well-variolated areas with the sun on. IMPORTANT: Always clean the LifeLong® filter at the recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE LIFELong® FILTER). Using the ionizer with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and attracting to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove difficult to remove.

HEPA-TYPE LifeLong™ FILTER

The LifeLong® filter allows easy maintenance and eliminates the hassle of filter replacement. 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 HI setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select LOW selling.
