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 a 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 ignizer feature which

When appeared had an optimal model feature limited, 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 net danger to form larger particles. There

smoke, and per damper 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 unable to capture as many charged particles.

- Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust

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 ignizer less after

- Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently.

CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL ^* established limits of 50gph. However,

in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using

small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the air purifier

tan on.
