INTRODUCTION
LOCATION
Your Sunbeam 900 Air Cleaner has been designed to
let you enjoy a refreshing experience in clean air
living.
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.).
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.
OPERATION
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.
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
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)
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 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-

remain there through natural adhesion until removed
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-
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)

CARE OF CABINET
The outside of the cabinet can be cleaned by using a
soft, clean, damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in
water.
TO REMOVE ELECTRONIC COLLECTING
CELL FOR CLEANING
The Electronic Collecting Cell Will need cleaning
about every four to eight weeks when your air cleaner
is in constant use.
Figure 5
Turn off the air cleaner and unplug it trom the electri-
cal power source.
Remove cabinet lid by depressing tab located under
lid overhang. (See Figure 11 for exact tab placement)
Slide lid forward from base and lift off. (Figure 4)
Push Cell Locking Latch (Figure 5) away from Cell
while lifting Cell out of the cabinet using the two small
handles on top of the Cell. (Figure 5

REPLACEMENT OF CHARCOAL FILTER
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER HELPS REMOVE
HOUSEHOLD ODORS
Washing the Charcoal Filter with soap and water Will
destroy its ability to adsorb odor.
Odor adsorption effectiveness Will gradually deterio-
rate and the Charcoal Filter should be replaced every
three months. These filters are available in your retail
store or through a reorder form enclosed with this unit.

TO CLEAN ELECTRONIC COLLECTING CELL
NOTE: When handling the collecting cell, care should
be taken to avoid damaging wires and metal
plates. Do not wash Charcoal Filter. Do not
wash Electronic Collecting Cell in dishwasher.
Shake as much water out of the cell as possible.
Replace Cell in the unit as described below and oper-
ate unit in “FAN ONLY” position for a minimum of one
hour to insure cell is thoroughly dry.
Slide out Pre-Filter located on front of the Cell. Rinse
thoroughly with clean warm water. Set aside to dry.
TO CLEAN NEGATIVE
ION GENERATOR NEEDLE
Use dishwashing detergent and the hottest water
available to make a good soaking solution.
Make sure the air cleaner is turned off and unplugged
from the electric power source for approximately 1
minute before cleaning needle.
NOTE: If the Cell is extremely dirty, spray the cell with
a household cleaning agent such as 409, Fan-
tastik or Lysol. Let the cell soak five (5) minutes
before proceeding to washing instructions.
The negative ion generator needle is located in the
right rear of the air cleaner (Figure 11) and should be
cleaned at least every 60 days.
Completely immerse the Cell and soak for 20 to 30
minutes.
.
Simply use cotton swab dipped in alcohol and wipe off
the dirt from the needle. Using a dry cotton swab, make
sure the needle is dry.
After the Cell has soaked sufficiently, it should be
shaken vigorously in water until clean. (Figure 9)
Thoroughly rinse both sides of the cell. If a sprayer is
available, spray with water. (Figure 10) Check to make
sure the cell plates are clean. Carefully wipe with a
Q-tip and alcohol along the ionizing wires.
Repeat the above last 3 paragraphs if necessary.

TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC COLLECTING
CELL AFTER CLEANING
NOTE: Use directions on top of Cell for proper place-
ment of the filters into the Cell and for replacing
the Cell into the unit. Unit will not operate
properly if the Cell is not replaced correctly.
Slide the Pre-Filter in the slots provided in the front of
the Cell. (Figure 12)
Slide the Charcoal Filter in the slots provided in the
back of the Cell. (Figure 13)
Figure 10
Using the cell handles (Figure 14), align the Cell with
the ribs (Figure 14) on the inside cabinet wall. Gently
slide Cell into place.

TO REPLACE CABINET TOP
Replace the cabinet top by positioning over the unit.
(Figure 15) Gently slide top forward until the top drops
into place. (Figure 16) Slide top backward until flush
with the back of the unit. (Figure 17)
PRE-FILTER
Operate the unit in “FAN ONLY” position for a min-
imum of one hour to insure the cell is thoroughly dry.
NOTE: An occasional “arcing” sound is normal when
operating the unit immediately after cleaning
the Cell and should stop after a few minutes of
operation. If cleaning the Cell does not alleviate
excessive arcing, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section on page 5.
