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.

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.
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.

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).
