Air Cleaner User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sunbeam 560
Air Cleaner. Your unit has been designed for years of
continuous operation.
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.
HOW THE SUNBEAM 560 AIR
CLEANER WORKS
Your air cleaner has a unique High Efficiency Car-
tridge (HEC) that combines four filters into one com-
pact, disposable element for high efficiency cleaning
and easy replacement of cartridge.
Polluted air enters into the air cleaner through the front
grill. (Figure 1) As shown in Figure 2, the fan pulls in
dirty air and the Pre-Filter (#l) traps large particles
(hair, lint, etc.). The smaller particles (dust, smoke,
pollen) are captured when the air passes through the
2-stage filter. (#2 and #3) The air then passes through a
Charcoal After-Filter
(#4)
that helps remove house-
hold odors. Next, the Negative Ion Generator
(#5)
releases negative ions into the air for extra air freshen-
ing. The cleaned air then passes back into the room
through the top grill. (Figure 1)

LOCATION
Remove and discard the plastic bag covering your air
cleaner. Locate your air cleaner near an electrical
outlet.
NOTE: 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) or next to
sources of heat (such as stove tops, ovens, etc.).
ABOUT NEGATIVE IONS
Negative ions, which occur naturally in our environ-
ment, are simply air molecules with a negative charge
that help to remove positively charged pollutants from
the air. However, when indoor air is cooled or recircu-
lated, the negative ions get stripped out of the air. The
negative ion generator in your air cleaner replenishes
the negative ions in your home. These negative ions
are attracted to pollutants and then to any grounded
surface, e.g. walls.
OPERATION
Plug the cord into any standard household electrical
outlet. (See data label on bottom of your air cleaner for
electrical specifications and power consumption.)
Figure 3 is a diagram of the slide switch label. Initially,
run the unit on HIGH for 1 minute before switching to
the desired speed. The “FAN ONLY” position allows
you to operate your air cleaner without the Negative
Ion Generator engaged. When the Negative Ion Gen-
erator is engaged, the operating light will be illumi-
nated. (See the above section “About Negative Ions”
for more information.) Your 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.
