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 envi-
ronment, it cleans your air and fits your life.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Turn the air purifier off and unplug it before cleaning.
2) The outside of the air purifier can be cleaned with a soft,
clean dampened cloth.
3) The filtered air outlet on the top of the unit can be cleaned of
dust with a small, soft brush.
4) If you wish to clean the inside of the air purifier, please only
use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it down.
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 your use. Please set the
unit to the desired speed setting; High (IIII), Medium (III),
Low (II), or Sleep (I).
The Filter life indicator uses a series of lights to give you an indi-
cation 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.
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.
2) Place unit with air intake grill pointing up.
3) Open the door of the air purifier.
4) The Carbon filters, which are packed in a plastic bag in the
box, should be put on each of the HEPA filters. The plastic
tabs on the HEPA filter will hold the carbon in place (fig. 1).
5) Close the air purifier door by pushing firmly against the right
hand side of the door.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
1) 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.
2) Turn off and unplug the air purifier before attempting to
replace the filters.
3) Remove each of the filters from the unit by pulling gently
towards you.
4) To replace the carbon filter, 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) To replace the HEPA filter, discard the old HEPA filters. Put
the carbon filter back on the HEPA filter. Insert the new
HAPF600 HEPA filter into the unit, by sliding it onto the
hang tabs.
6) After replacing the HEPA filters, RESET the Filter Life
Indicator by inserting a small object (such as a pin or paper
clip) into the hole marked RESET.
Replacement filters are as follows:
HAPF600 HEPA Filter
HAPF600D HEPA Filter (2 pack)
HAPF60 Carbon Filter
These filters can be purchased at a retailer near you or
by calling 1-800-5-HOLMES.
NOTE: Carbon and HEPA Filters are not washable and
should be replaced at the recommended intervals.

Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz-
ards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electri-
cal rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rat-
ing 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.
