When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance
directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped,
remove plastic bag before use.
4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid
fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near
heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.
5. To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse
in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children, or disabled persons.
7. Always unplug the air purifier before moving or
cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters
and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the
unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.
8. NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of
the unit.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit
has been dropped or damaged in any manner, return
appliance to manufacturer for examination and / or
repair.
10. Use appliance only for intended household use as
described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by Jarden
Consumer Solutions may cause hazards.
11. DO NOT use outdoors.
12. NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa
as this could cause the unit to tip over and block the
air inlet or outlet grills.
13. Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
14. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or
mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void
your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed
by Jarden Consumer Solutions or an authorized

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 CLEANER
Your true HEPA air cleaner removes up to 99.97% of
airborne allergens as small as 0.3 microns, such as
ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust,
dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander and smoke
from the air passing through the filter.
TRUE HEPA FILTER
HEPA
(High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are
designed to remove up to 99.97% of airborne pollutants
at 0.3 microns or larger, from the air that passes through
them. These include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet
dander, and pollen.
HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW AND SLEEP SPEED
SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes
®
air
cleaner continuously on the MEDIUM (3) setting. For
quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select LOW (2)
or SLEEP (1) setting. When high levels of allergens are
present, select the HIGH (4) setting.
FILTER LIFE MONITOR
The Filter Life Monitor uses a series of lights to give you
an indication of the remaining filter life. When the filters
are new and in good condition, the top light will be
illuminated green. As the filter life progresses, the Filter
Life Monitor will move to yellow. At this point, the carbon
and HEPA filters should be checked. When the Filter Life
Monitor light is red, it is time to change the filters.
DUAL POSITION
The air purifier can stand upright or lie on its side. Also
designed to fit with its back flush against the wall. When
positioning the unit, please be sure the air inlet grill,
filters and air outlet are not blocked to ensure maximum
airflow.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
The door should not be opened when the unit is on
its side.
1. After removing the unit from the box, take the plastic
covering off the unit and properly dispose of it.
2. Lay the air purifier flat on its back with the front grill
pointing up.
3. Open the front grill door of the air purifier by gently
pulling it forward.
4. The carbon filters, which are packed in a plastic bag in
the box, should be removed from the bag and then
placed on each of the pre-installed HEPA filters. The
plastic tabs on HEPA filters will hold the carbon filters in
place (see Figure 1).
5. Close the front grill door by pushing firmly against the
right hand side of the door.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
• Remove all plastic bags from filters before use.
• DO NOT POINT FILTERED AIR OUTLET TOWARDS WALL.
To operate your air purifier:
1. Select location where air intake grill and filtered air
outlet are not obstructed.
2. Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. The air purifier is now ready for use. Set the air
purifier to the desired speed setting; HIGH (4),
MEDIUM (3), LOW (2) or SLEEP (1) by turning the
speed control knob.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

2. The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a
soft, clean damp cloth.
3. The filtered air outlet / top air vent can be cleaned of
dust with a small, soft brush.
4. If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier,
please remove filters and only use a dry, soft cloth to

with the main housing of the air purifier.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
•
NOTE:
DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use HEPA filters.
• If new filters are enclosed in plastic bags, remove
them before use.
NOTE:
On average, HEPA filters need to be replaced
every 12-18 months. Carbon filters need to be replaced
every 3-6 months. Filter life will vary depending on air
quality and usage.
1. Turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. For models with the pre-filter (HAP633 & HAP8650),
periodically check the condition of the foam pre-filter
by opening the front grill door and examining it.
Remove any dust or lint from the pre-filter by
washing it in warm soapy water. Rinse and drip dry.
Replace the pre-filter and secure it with the latch
frame on the front grill door.
3. Remove each of the filters from the unit by pulling
gently towards you.
4. To replace carbon filters, simply remove the old
carbon filter and insert a new carbon in its place,
using the plastic tabs as a guideline (see Figure 1).
5. DO NOT attempt to clean the old HEPA filter. To
replace HEPA filters, discard the old HEPA filters. Put
the carbon filter back on the new HEPA filter. Insert
the new HAPF600 HEPA filter into the unit, by sliding
it onto the hang tabs. (see Figure 2)
6. Close the front grill door by pushing firmly against
the right hand side of the door.
7. After replacing the HEPA filters, RESET the Filter Life
Monitor by inserting a small object (such as a pin or
paper clip) into the hole below the red filter change light
marked RESET and holding it down for 2-3 seconds.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS
SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
