Replacing the UV-C Bulb
Before replacing the bulb, make sure the vacuum cleaner is switched off and
unplugged from the power outlet.
The life span of the UV-C bulb, under normal use, is 2 to 3 years.
Caution: Use only Verilux
®
bulbs. Use of an incorrect bulb can result in damage.
To order a replacement bulb, use the Component Reorder form included with this
product, or call Verilux Customer Service at 1-800-786-6850 or visit
www.verilux.com.
1. Detach the protective grill on the
bottom of the base unit by pulling
up the two tabs at the back of the
covering. Set the cover aside
(see Figure 8).
2. Remove the two plastic pieces
that cover the ends of the UV-C
bulb.
3. Unscrew the screws surrounding
the protective housing.
4. Using a small pair of needle nosed
pliers at one end of the bulb, rotate the bulb
90 degrees and remove (see Figure 9).
Note: The UV-C bulb is housed in a glass
sleeve to protect it from accidental
damage. Remove the old bulb from this
sleeve before disposal.
5. Insert the new bulb into the protective
sleeve and place back into unit
being careful not to handle the new
bulb as fingerprints on the bulb are
undesirable. Rotate the bulb by 90
degrees to secure.
6. Relocate the protective housing and
tighten all screws.
7. Relocate the protective grill and snap back
into place.
