INTRODUCTION

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Your Sunbeam 1800 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 precipitation and an activated charcoal filter.

NOTE: This owner’s manual should be read tho-

roughly before your air cleaner is operated. Retain your owner’s manual for future reference.

Before you operate your air cleaner you must:

HOW THE SUNBEAM 1800 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.

Polluted air enters the air cleaner through the top front grill of the air cleaner. (Figure 1) As shown in Figure 2,

the fan pulls in dirty air and the Pre-Filter (#I) traps

large particles (hair, lint, etc.). The smaller particles (dust, smoke, pollen) in the dirty air receive a positive electrical charge as they pass through the ionizer sec-

tion.

(#2)

The positively charged particles then enter

(#3)

the collector charged aluminum plates to attract and retain the par-

ticles. It works like a powerful magnet and the particles

remain there through natural adhesion until removed by the washing process. The air then passes through a

Charcoal Filter odors. Finally, electronically cleaned air passes back into the room through the bottom front grill. (Figure 1)

4. Replace the cabinet top.

Your air cleaner is now ready for operation.

UNIT LOCATION

Select the location for your air cleaner with an electri-

cal outlet nearby. An example of locating your air

cleaner is shown in Figure 3.

NOTE: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO

Your Sunbeam air cleaner can be placed almost anywhere as long as the air can freely circulate into

the top front grill and out of the bottom front grill.

Remove the polybag surrounding your air cleaner. Remove the cabinet top by lifting up. Using the cell

handle, remove the Electronic Collecting Cell from the cabinet and the Charcoal Filter. Return the Charcoal Filter back to its original position in the collector cell.

OPERATION

Plug the cord into any standard household electrical

outlet. (See data label for electrical specifications and

power consumption. This data label can be seen when

the cabinet top is removed.)

Turn the unit on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the

desired speed. (DAILY USE, MEDIUM or SUPER CLEAN; Figure 4) The air cleaner should be set on SUPER CLEAN for 1 minute before switching to desired speed to initially start-up the unit. Your electronic air cleaner is designed for continuous operation

-- peak efficiency is obtained when the air cleaner remains on constantly. For best results, select “DAILY USE” setting.

An operating light is located on the top right front grill and indicates that the unit is operating. (Figure 5)

The “FAN ONLY” switch is provided to assist in the drying cycle after cleaning the cell. The light does not come on during the fan cycle because the cell is not activated.

NOTE: You may notice an occasional, infrequent

sharp snapping sound coming from your unit. This is a normal occurrence called “arcing’! and results as large particles of dust are collected in the Electronic Collecting Cell. Should prolonged or continuous arcing occur, the Electronic Collecting Cell should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. (See “To Clean Cell”.)

MAINTENANCE

CARE OF CABINET

You should treat the cabinet of your air cleaner as you would any other piece of fine furniture. Soft cloths and furniture polish will keep it clean and attractive for

many years. The front grill can be cleaned using a

vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

ELECTRONIC COLLECTING CELL

After several weeks of collecting dirt, dust, pollen, and

other particles, the Electronic Collecting Cell of your unit will need to be cleaned.

TO REMOVE ELECTRONIC COLLECTING

CELL FOR CLEANING

Turn off the air cleaner and unplug it from the electrical power source.

Remove the cabinet top by lifting up and

lift

out the

Electronic Collecting Cell using the flip-up handle.

(Figure 6) The front filter (Aluminum) is the Pre-Filter. The Elec-

tronic Collecting Cell is the middle (large) filter, and the

Charcoal After-Filter is in the back of the cell assembly. (Figu

REPLACEMENT OF CHARCOAL FILTER

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER HELPS REMOVE HOUSEHOLD ODORS

Remove the Charcoal Filter from the Electronic Collecting Cell. The Charcoal Filter

cannot be cleaned.

It should be replaced every 3-6 months under average conditions. These filters are available in your retail store or through a reorder form enclosed with this unit.

TO CLEAN ELECTRONIC COLLECTING CELL

NOTE: When handling the Electronic Collecting Cell,

care should be taken to avoid damaging wires and metal plates.

Do not wash Charcoal Filter. Do not wash Electronic Collecting Cell in dishwasher.

Slide out Pre-Filter located on front of the Electronic

Collecting Cell. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water. Set aside to dry.

Use dishwashing detergent and the hottest water

available to make a good soaking solution.

NOTE:

If the Cell is extremely dirty, spray the Cell with

a household cleaning agent such as 409,

Fantastik or Lysol. Let the Cell soak five (5) minutes before proceeding to washing instructions.

Completely immerse the Cell and soak for 20 to 30

minutes in a tub or large basin. (Figure 8)

After the Cell has soaked sufficiently, the Cell should

be moved up and down to agitate the water until clean.

Thoroughly rinse both sides of the Cell.

Carefully wipe

a damp cloth along the ionizing wires.

Check to make sure the cell plates are clean. (Figure 9) If not, gently repeat the wash procedure described in the 3 previous

paragraphs, if necessary. NOTE: Slight discoloration of cell plates is normal

after use. Shake as much water out of the Cell as possible.

Replace Cell in the unit as described in the next step.

TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC COLLECTING CELL AFTER CLEANING

NOTE:

Use directions on the side of the Cell for proper placement of the filters into the Cell and for replacing the Cell into the unit. Unit will not operate properly if the Cell is not replaced correctly.

Slide the Aluminum Pre-Filter in the slots provided in the front of the Cell.

Slide the Charcoal Filter in the slots provided in the

back of the Cell. Using the handle, slide the Cell back into the cabinet.

The cell handle must be flipped toward the back of the

Cell, so the cabinet top can be seated properly.

NOTE:

Operate the unit in

“FAN

ONLY” position for a

minimum of one hour to insure the Cell is

thoroughly dry. After the Cell is dry, unit can be

operated normally.

TO REPLACE CABINET TOP

Replace the cabinet top by positioning over the unit and placing on cabinet. (Figure 10) Insure that the plastic ball and socket are engaged.

Plug the cord into the electrical power source.

NOTE:

Operate the unit in

“FAN ONLY”

position for a

minimum of one hour to insure the Cell is

thoroughly dry. After the Cell is dry, unit can be

operated normally.

An occasional “arcing” sound is normal when

operating the unit immediately after cleaning the Cell and should stop after a few minutes of operation. If cleaning the Cell does notalleviate

excessive arcing, refer to the Troubleshooting

Section on page 4.
