HOW YOUR SUNBEAM

ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER WORKS

The air around you is filled with thousands of particles of air pollution. Some of the pollutants - dust, smoke and lint are visible to the naked eye, but most of the pollutants - pollen and bacteria, to name a few are microscopic in size. Your SUNBEAM electronic air cleaner has been designed to let you enjoy a refresh- ing experience in clean air living.

Polluted air enters the air cleaner through the front (Figure 1). The aluminum pre-filter 1 (Figure 2) on the inside of the front grill of the unit will help remove some of the large particles of pollution as dirty air is drawn in.

Once inside the unit, the pollution particles in the dirty air receive a powerful positive electrical charge as they pass through the ionizing section 2 The positive charged particles then enter a collecting section 3 with alternately charged positive and negative (ground) plates. The particles are repelled from the positive plates and attracted to the oppositely charged plates and remain there through natural adhesion until re- moved by the washing process. The air then passes through a charcoal filter 4 that helps remove house- hold odors. Next the electronically cleaned air passes back into the room through the top grill.

INSTRUCTIONS

A. Remove plastic bag covering the air cleaner.

B.Select location for air cleaner with electrical outlet nearby. Remember, air cleaner must be placed so there is unobstructed free circulation of air into and out of the unit.

OPERATION

A. Plug the power cord into any standard household electrical outlet. (See data label on bottom of unit for electrical specifications and power con- sumption.

B. Turn unit on by turning the On/Off switch to the desired blower speed. (Low, Medium or High) (See Figure 3). Until your unit is adequately broken in, blower motor speed should be set on High for one minute initially before switching to desired setting. Your electronic air cleaner is designed for continuous operation . . . peak effi- ciency is obtained if the air cleaner remains on constantly.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

NOTE: You may notice an occasional, infrequent sharp snapping sound coming from the unit. This is a normal occurrence called “arcing” and results as large particles of dust are collected in the ionizing- collecting cell. Should prolonged or continuous arc- ing occur, the ionizing-collecting cell should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. (See Cleaning In- structions).
