Holmes HAP9241W/B Air Purifier Owner’s Guide
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
- If the Filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove the plastic bag before use.
- Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazards, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.
- DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or disabled persons.
- Always unplug the air purifier before moving or cleaning the unit, opening the grill, changing the filter and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the unit, be sure to pull the plug and not the cord.
- NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of the unit.
- 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 the appliance to the manufacturer for examination and/or repair.
- Use appliances 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 injuries.
- DO NOT use outdoors.
- 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.
- Keep the unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
- DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so may cause injuries and 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 Jarden Consumer Solutions Center.
- DO NOT place anything on top of the unit.
- Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
- The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL-established limits of 50 ppb (parts per billion). However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well-ventilated areas with the fan on.
- This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any solid-state speed control device.
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.
FEATURES
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- 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 the rating label marked on the bottom of the 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 PURIFIER
This unit is compatible with all Aer1® Filters. This allows you to choose the
filter that is just right for you. Below is information on each filter:
TOTAL AIR – Advanced Dust Eliminating Technology
- ODOR ELIMINATOR – 10x the odour-fighting power
- ALLERGEN REMOVER – 99.97% True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers
- ALLERGEN PERFORMANCE PLUS – 99.99% True HEPA technology improves air quality for allergy sufferers.
- SMOKE GRABBER – 99% effective at removing smoke from the air steam (*as small as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter)
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 ground. Both positive and negative
ions are colourless, odourless, 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
pet dander 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 a 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 is unable to capture as many charged particles.
- Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may 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 ionizer less often.
- Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently.
- CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL-established limits of 50 ppb.
- However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well-ventilated areas with the air purifier fan on.a
HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW-SPEED SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Holmes® air purifier continuously on
the MEDIUM (2) setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years
of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select the LOW (1)
setting. When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH (3)
setting to quickly circulate and filter the air in the room.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
DO NOT attempt to wash and re-use the Aer1® Filters. If the filters are
enclosed in plastic bags, remove them before use.

- Every few weeks, check the condition of the filter(s). The Visipure® Filter Viewing Window is a lens that allows you to get a clear view of the dirt being collected in the filter.
- The Filter Reminder Dial also helps you keep track of when to change the filters. Filter life will vary, depending on air quality and usage (see below). Filters that have accumulated a layer of particles and present discolouration can reduce the air purifier’s performance and need to be exchanged for new filters. Under normal conditions of continuous use, the Aer1® Total Air, Odor and Smoke Filters will last 4 months while the Allergen and Allergen Performance Plus Filters will last 12 months.
- After approximately 4 months of operation, check the condition of the filter through the Visipure® Filter Viewing Window to see how much dust has accumulated on the filter and use the Filter Reminder Dial to keep track of how long a filter has been in use.
- Filters with a 4-month filter life: Wash the foam pre-filter and replace the Aer1® filter(s) after 4 months of operation.
- Filters with a 12-month filter life: After 4 months of operation, it is recommended to wash the foam pre-filter and check the condition of your filter(s) through the Visipure® Filter Viewing Window. The filters must be replaced after 12 months of operation
To replace your filter(s)
