Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. 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 rating of the air purifier. 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

THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED AC
(Alternating Current) PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.

HARMONY BACKGROUND
First, thank you for choosing a Holmes Harmony Air Purifier.
The Harmony air purifier was created because consumers, like you, provided a lot of feedback about what you wanted in an air purifier. With the features consumers want in mind, we worked with sound experts to make the unit quieter, engineers to make it smaller with more advanced technologies. We created a patented modular filter system for easier filter replacement.
The result is an air cleaner that is in harmony with your environment, it cleans your air and fits your life.

FEATURES

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

Equipped with GE motor
for quieter performance and the added durability necessary for continuous use.

Filter Life Indicator
The filter life indicator will be green when the filters are new or in good condition. Over a period of time, the filters performance will begin to decrease. At this point the filter life indicator will be yellow. Eventually, the filter life indicator will be red, indicating it is time to replace the filters

FILTER LIFE INDICATOR

The Filter life indicator uses a series of lights to give you an indication of the remaining filter life. With new filters, the top light will be illuminated green. As filter life progresses the filter life indicator will move to yellow, and your carbon and HEPA filters should be checked. When the filter life indicator light is red, it is time to change the filters
