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-
tation 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
refer-
ence.
HOW THE SUNBEAM 900 AIR CLEANER
AND IONIZER 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 front of
the air cleaner. (Figure 1) As shown in Figure 2, the fan
pulls in dirty air and the
Pre-Filter
(#l)
traps large parti-
cles
(hair, lint, etc.). The smaller particles (dust, smoke,
pollen) in the dirty air receive a positive electrical
charge as they pass through the ionizing section.
(#2)
The positively charged particles then enter the
collect-
ing section
(#3)
which uses a series of alternately
charged
aluminum plates to
attract
and retain the par-
ticles.
It works Ii ke
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
(#4) that helps remove household odors.
Next, the negative ion generator (#5) freshens stale air.
Finally, electronically cleaned air passes
back
into the
room through the top grill. (Figure 1)

LOCATION
Remove the plastic bag covering your air cleaner.
Select the location for your air cleaner with electrical
outlet nearby.
Do not use an extension cord to supply
power to your air cleaner.
Remember, the air cleaner
must be
placed
SO that air
can
freely circulate into the
front grill and out of the top grill. (Figure 1) Never place
your air cleaner on soft surfaces (such as beds, sofas
or
carpet),
near computers or next to sources of heat
(such as stove tops, ovens, etc.).
OPERATION
_“.
-.
“_-I-._
Plug the cord into
any
standard household electrical
outlet. (See data label on bottom of your air cleaner for
electrical specifications and power
consumption.)
Turn the unit on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the
desired speed. (DAILY USE, MEDIUM or SUPER
CLEAN, Figure 3) Until your air cleaner is adequately
broken in, the speed should be set on SUPER CLEAN
for 1 minute initially before switching to desired speed.
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.
The “FAN ONLY” speed is provided to assist in the dry
cycle after cleaning the
cell.
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 ionizing-collecting cell. Should
prolonged or continuous arcing occur, the
Electronic Collecting Cell should be
thorough-
ly cleaned and dried. (See “T
O
Clean Electronic
Collecting
Cell”.)
