HOW YOUR SUNBEAM
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER WORKS
INSTRUCTIONS
A. Remove plastic bag covering the air cleaner.
The air around you is filled with thousands of particles
of air pollution. Some of the pollutants - dust, smoke

pollen and bacteria, to name a few are
microscopic in size. Your SUNBEAM electronic air
cleaner has been designed to let you enjoy a refreshing experience in clean air living.
OPERATION
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

charged particles then enter a collecting section 3
with alternately charged positive and negative (ground)
plates. The particles are repelled from the positive
B. Turn unit on by turning the On/Off switch to the
plates and attracted to the oppositely charged plates
and remain there through natural adhesion until removed by the washing process. The air then passes
through a charcoal filter 4 that helps
remove
household odors. Next the electronically cleaned air
passes back into the room through the top grill.

nearby. Remember, air cleaner must be placed so
there is unobstructed free circulation of air into
and out of the unit.

(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).
CARE OF CABINET
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.
OZONE
Under normal operating conditions all electrostatic air
cleaners produce minute quantities of ozone as an
incidental by-product, as do televisions and other
electrical appliances. Scientific measurements taken
with the most accurate equipment available show the
range of ozone emitted from a Sunbeam electronic air
cleaner is between
and
l/5

considered to be harmful, it is dangerous to take an
afternoon walk in the park on a summer day.

Cell will need cleaning about every four to eight weeks
when air cleaner is in constant use.
A. Turn off unit and unplug from electrical power
source.
B. Remove cabinet top. Cabinet top is easily removed
by pressing down on tab located on top of front
grill (Fig. 4); while pressing down on tab with one
hand, slide cabinet top with other hand slowly
toward front grill about one inch until unlocked.
Cabinet top can now be lifted up and off.
