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-

ticles. It works Ii ke  
a
powerful magnet and the particles  
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)

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.
