This document describes the Holmes True HEPA Allergen Remover, an air purifier designed to improve indoor air quality by filtering out airborne allergens and pollutants.

Function Description

The Holmes True HEPA Allergen Remover is an air purification device that utilizes a multi-stage filtration system to capture airborne particles. Its primary function is to remove up to 99.97% of airborne allergens as small as 0.3 microns from the air passing through the filter. This includes common allergens such as ragweed pollen, grass pollen, tree pollen, household dust, dust mite debris, mold spores, pet dander, and smoke. The device employs True HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, which are specifically designed for this high level of filtration efficiency. In addition to the True HEPA filters, the system also incorporates carbon filters, which are effective in reducing odors and capturing larger particles. The air purifier is designed for continuous operation to maintain optimal air filtration in indoor environments.

Usage Features

The air purifier offers flexible placement options, as it can be operated either upright or lying on its side. It is also designed to fit flush against a wall, provided that the air inlet grill, filters, and air outlet are not obstructed to ensure maximum airflow.

To operate the device, users first need to prepare it by removing any plastic coverings from the unit and filters. The front grill door opens to allow access for filter installation. Carbon filters, which come packed in a plastic bag, must be removed from their packaging and placed onto the pre-installed HEPA filters, with plastic tabs holding them in place. Once the filters are correctly installed and the grill door is firmly closed, the unit is ready for use.

The air purifier is controlled via a speed control knob, offering multiple settings to suit different needs. These settings include:

HIGH (4): Recommended for situations with high levels of allergens, providing maximum filtration.
MEDIUM (3): The optimal setting for continuous operation and general air filtration.
LOW (2): Suitable for quieter operation, such as in a bedroom environment.
SLEEP (1): The quietest setting, ideal for undisturbed sleep.

The device is equipped with a Filter Life Monitor, which provides a visual indication of the remaining filter life through a series of lights. When filters are new and in good condition, the top light illuminates green. As the filters accumulate particles and their effectiveness decreases, the monitor progresses to yellow, indicating that the carbon and HEPA filters should be checked. When the light turns red, it signals that the filters need to be changed.

For safety, the unit will not operate if the grill door is not fully closed, ensuring that filters are properly installed before use. Users should ensure the unit is properly plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet and that the knob is turned to a desired speed setting for operation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the Holmes True HEPA Allergen Remover. Maintenance primarily involves cleaning the unit and replacing the filters.

Cleaning:

Before any cleaning, the air purifier must be turned off and unplugged from the power outlet.
The exterior of the unit can be cleaned with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
The filtered air outlet and top air vent can be cleaned of dust using a small, soft brush.
If cleaning the inside of the air purifier is necessary, filters should be removed, and only a dry, soft cloth should be used to wipe down the interior.
Important: Filters should never be washed. Moisture should not come into contact with the main housing of the air purifier.

Filter Replacement:

True HEPA Filters: These filters should not be washed or reused. They typically need to be replaced every 12-18 months, though filter life can vary based on air quality and usage. When replacing, the old HEPA filters should be discarded, and new ones inserted.
Carbon Filters: These filters need to be replaced more frequently, typically every 3-6 months. When replacing, the old carbon filter should be removed, and a new one inserted in its place, guided by the plastic tabs.
Pre-filters (for models HAP633 & HAP8650): The foam pre-filter should be periodically checked. It can be cleaned by washing it in warm soapy water, rinsing, and drip-drying before being reinstalled.
After replacing the HEPA filters, the Filter Life Monitor must be reset. This is done by inserting a small object (like a pin or paper clip) into the hole below the red filter change light marked "RESET" and holding it down for 2-3 seconds.

Users can purchase replacement filters from retailers, online at www.holmesproducts.com, or by calling customer service. If the Filter Life Monitor light is red, or if air flow decreases significantly, it indicates that filters need to be changed. If filters have not been changed in a year or more, HEPA filters should be replaced. If carbon filters have not been changed every 3-6 months, they should be replaced.

For any questions regarding the product or warranty service, customers can contact the Consumer Service Department via phone or visit the Holmes website. For inquiries about recycling and proper disposal, local waste management facilities should be consulted.
