Sunbeam 2571 Introduction, HOW THE SUNBEAM 900 AIR CLEANER AND IONIZER WORKS, Location, Operation

INTRODUCTION

Your Sunbeam 900 Air Cleaner has been designed to let you enjoy a refreshing experience in clean air living.

Airborne particles are removed from air passing through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipi- tationandanactivatedcharcoalfilter.

NOTE: This owner’s manual should be read tho- roughly before your air cleaner is operated. Retain your owner’s manual for future refer- ence.

HOW THE SUNBEAM 900 AIR CLEANER AND IONIZER WORKS

The air around you is filled with thousands of particles ofairpollution.Someofthepollutants(dust,smoke andlint)arevisibletothenakedeye,butmost ofthe pollutants(pollenandbacteria,to nameafew)are microscopicinsize.

Pollutedairenterstheaircleanerthroughthefrontof the air cleaner. (Figure 1) As shown in Figure 2, the fan pulls in dirty air and thePre-Filter (#l) traps largeparti- cles (hair, lint, etc.). The smaller particles (dust, smoke, pollen) in the dirty air receive a positive electrical chargeastheypassthroughtheionizingsection.(#2) The positively charged particles then enter the collect- ingsection (#3) whichusesa series of alternately chargedaluminumplatesto attractandretainthe par- ticles. It works Ii ke a powerful magnet and the particles remaintherethroughnaturaladhesionuntilremoved by the washing process. The air then passes through a charcoal filter(#4) thathelpsremovehousehold odors. Next, the negative ion generator (#5) freshens stale air. Finally,electronicallycleanedairpasses backinto the room through the top grill. (Figure 1)

OPERATION

Plugthecordintoany standardhouseholdelectrical outlet. (See data label on bottom of your air cleaner for electricalspecifications andpowerconsumption.)

TurntheunitonbyslidingtheON/OFFswitchtothe desired speed. (DAILY USE, MEDIUM or SUPER CLEAN,Figure3)Untilyouraircleanerisadequately broken in, the speed should be set on SUPER CLEAN for 1 minute initially before switching to desired speed. Yourelectronicaircleanerisdesignedfor continuous operation -- peak efficiency is obtained when the air cleaner remains on constantly. For best results, Select “DAILY USE” setting.

The “FAN ONLY” speed is provided to assist in the dry cycleaftercleaningthecell.

NOTE: You may notice an occasional, infrequent Sharp snappingsoundcomingfromyourunit. Thisisanormaloccurrencecalled“arcing” and results as large particles of dust are collectedin the ionizing-collecting cell. Should prolongedor continuous arcing occur, the ElectronicCollecting Cell shouldbe thorough- ly cleaned and dried. (See “TO Clean Electronic CollectingCell”.)
