HOW THE SUNBEAM HEPA 2500
AIR CLEANER WORKS

1. PRE-FILTER
\

2. CARTRIDGE AIR FILTER
(HEPA FILTER)

3. CHARCOAL
AFTER-FILTER

I

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 true HEPA Filter is enclosed with a sealing label

placed over the top of the collector assembly. This
label provides a complete sealing of the HEPA Filter
ensuring a 99.97% efficiency at removing common
indoor air particles. Do not remove this label unless

replacing the HEPA or Charcoal Filter.

As polluted air is drawn into your console air cleaner

1),

(Figure

an Aluminum Pre-Filter strains out the

larger particles of pollution. The air then passes

through the cartridge air filter (HEPA Filter) where

microscopic particles are collected.

The now cleaned air then passes through a filter of
activated carbon. Activated carbon acts like a sponge
to help remove odors. (Figure 2) Having been cleaned

three ways, the air returns to the room through the

bottom front grill. (Figure 1)

UNIT LOCATION

Select the location for your air cleaner with an electri­cal outlet nearby. An example of locating your air
cleaner is shown in Figure 3.

NOTE: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO

SUPPLY POWER TO YOUR AIR CLEANER.

Your console air cleaner can be placed almost any-

,

where as long as the air can freely circulate into the top
front grill and out of the bottom front grill. (Figure 1)

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

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 HIGH”. (Fig­ure 4) The air cleaner should be set on HIGH for 1
minute before switching to desired speed to initially
start-up the unit. Your 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)

CARE OF CABINET

You should treat the cabinet of your air cleaner as you
would any other piece of fine furniture. A soft, damp
cloth will keep it clean and attractive for many years.
The front grill can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment.
