The plug is only designed to fit in polarized outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. • Use indoors only.
Warnings or against sharp edges or corners. • Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. • A damaged power cord must be replaced by qualified service personnel only. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Any attempt to open the unit will void the warranty and could lead to serious damage to the unit and/or personal injury to the user. • Before unplugging the unit from the outlet, turn off all the controls. • Do not unplug by pulling the cord.
Caution This product generates invisible ultraviolet light. To avoid overexposure when the lamp is on, persons must stay at least one foot away from the unit if the total duration of exposure to the unit will be more than 30 minutes per day. Shorter duration of exposure at close proximity is safe. If the enclosure is damaged, do not use the product. Never stare at the UV-C lamp or place your face directly against the front or rear grill during operation.
Frequently Asked Questions How often is cleaning required? At least every two weeks, anytime The Sharper Image® GP™ Silent Air Purifier makes an audible sound or the Cleaning Overdue indicator illuminates. How should it be cleaned? Wipe the removable collection grid with a damp cloth, paper towel or sponge. It is very important that the collection grid is completely dry before returning it to the main housing.
Frequently Asked Questions About OzoneGuard™ What does OzoneGuard™ do? With the OzoneGuard in place, a significant portion of groundlevel ozone inside the air purifier — including any trace levels of ozone by-product — is converted into oxygen before the cleaned air circulates back into the room. Why is the OzoneGuard™ smaller than the grill itself? The majority of the air output is directed toward the center of the grill and therefore a larger OzoneGuard isn’t necessary.
General Instructions Setup and Operation Place The Sharper Image GP at least twelve inches from the wall and in a location where children cannot stare directly into the unit at a close range. Plug into a polarized 110V outlet. (Read Warnings for details.) Switch the POWER CONTROL to the desired setting: ON: The unit will clean and circulate the air but the germicidal lamp is not activated. Blue Glow coming from within the unit indicates that the germicidal lamp is operating.
Setup and Operation Switch the MODE CONTROL to the desired setting: LOW: For small rooms or rooms where the door is usually closed. Mode Control MEDIUM: For average-sized rooms. HIGH: For large rooms and higher traffic areas. To override the MODE CONTROL setting and to run the unit at maximum power for five minutes, press BOOST. Your previously selected power level resumes after the five minutes.
Cleaning the Collection Grid This model features 3 highly charged collection blades separated by 2 oppositely charged “driver” blades. This improves the particle capture rate. Clean the grid every one or two weeks. As a reminder, the Cleaning Overdue indicator turns amber after two weeks. If the Cleaning Overdue indicator turns red, the unit has shut down because of excessive dirt or circuitry problems. In most cases, a thorough cleaning returns the unit to normal operation. 1.
Cleaning the Collection Grid 3. Use a dry or slightly damp towel or sponge to quickly wipe the dust from each of the three collection bars. 4. Before replacing the grid, invert the entire unit two or three times. Note: The grid may also be washed with warm soapy water, then rinsed. If this method is used, allow 24 hours for the grid to completely dry before reinserting it into the main housing.
Thorough Cleaning 3. Use a hair dryer to blow dust from the interior or a vacuum to remove dust. Note: The OzoneGuard cannot be detached from the front grill. The OzoneGuard has sharp edges; use caution when cleaning. CAUTION: Do not use the product if the ionizing wires are broken or either grill appears damaged.
Additional Information The majority of collected particles will gather on the removable stainless steel grid. Over time, debris will accumulate inside the unit. To access the inside, remove the front and rear grills. (See section titled “Thorough Cleaning.”) Sharper Image® Silent Air Purifiers comply with current U.S. safety requirements for low ozone emissions for consumer products.
Germicidal Lamp Replacement Oil from fingers will reduce the germicidal performance of the UV-C lamp. If possible, use gloves or handle only by the metal area of the lamp. Otherwise, clean the lamp after installing to remove fingerprints and oils. To clean: Wipe the lamp, using a paper towel lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol or an ammonia-based cleaner (such as Windex brand). 1. Remove the cover by lifting up on the RELEASE-TAB at the bottom of the cover and sliding the cover up. 2.
