•Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•Damaged power cord must only be replaced by qualified service personnel. 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 operator.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging unit from outlet.
•Do not unplug by pulling the cord. Grasp the plug itself, not the cord, when unplugging from an outlet.
•Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not continue to use with any opening blocked. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce airflow.
•Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings.
•Do not operate the unit in areas where flammable or combustible products or vapors may be present.
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 1 hour per day. Shorter durations of exposure at close proximity are safe. If the enclosure is damaged, do not use the product.
Never stare at the U.V. lamp or place your face directly against the front or rear grill during operation.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in direct exposure to germicidal light, which can cause temporary or chronic damage to your eyesight, or may even result in blindness.
The collection grid has many edges and areas that can trap water. If running water is used to clean the grid, allow the collection grid to dry completely.
If candles or oil lamps are burned, the collection grid must be cleaned immediately or the collected soot may be released back into the room. In any area where this product will be subjected to heavy pollution it will be necessary to clean the collection grid more frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Ionic Breeze
®
How often is cleaning required?
At least every two weeks or anytime the Ionic Breeze makes an audible sound or the
CLEANING INDICATOR
lights.
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 be allowed to dry completely before returning it to the main housing.
What is the clean fresh scent I smell?
This scent is ozone, (O 3 ), a combination of three oxygen atoms. (The U.S. government has set safe standards for ozone, and the Ionic Breeze complies with those standards.)
Which power setting should I use?
If the odor of ozone is strong (for instance in a smaller room), you may prefer to have the power setting on medium or low.
Please read this product instruction manual for important safety information and operating instructions.

Cleaning the Collection Grid
Cleaning the grid every one or two weeks. As a reminder, the cleaning indicator light will turn amber after two weeks. If the cleaning indicator light turns red, the unit has shut down because of excessive dirt or circuitry problems. In most cases a thorough cleaning will return the unit to normal operation.
Unplug the unit before cleaning.
Remove the collection grid by pulling it from the top of the unit.
Use a dry or slightly damp towel or sponge to quickly wipe the dust from each of the three collection bars.
Invert the entire unit for two or three times before replacing the grid.

Thorough Cleaning
If the unit makes noise during operation, a thorough cleaning of the grid and ionizing wires may be required.
Remove the collection grid by pulling it from the top of the unit.
Wash the grid with warm soapy water, rinse, and
allow to dry for 24 hours before returning to unit.
Use a compressed gas dusting product to remove any accumulated particles from the ionizing wires and to blow out any dust that is settled in the base of the unit. (Because of the dust, it is advisable to do this outside.)
Additional Information
The exterior of the unit can be cleaned using a cloth or sponge and a solution of one part household bleach to five parts water or any bleach based spray cleaner.
Allow the surface to dry completely before plugging it back into an outlet.
The unit will not function while the collection grid is removed and/or the germicidal lamp cover is removed.

The Ionic Breeze has been independently tested and found to comply with U.S. government limits on the maximum acceptable level of ozone, less than 50 parts per billion by volume of air circulating through the device.Persons with a history of asthma, heart disease, or any lung disease or breathing problem should consult with their physician before using this product.
Germicidal Lamp Replacement
Lamps are effective for about 12 months of continuous use.
Replace earlier if there is no “blue glow” inside the housing, when the unit is running in G.P. mode.
Oil from fingers will reduce the germicidal performance of the U.V. lamp. DO NOT allow fingers to come in contact with the glass. Use gloves or handle only by the metal area of the lamp. If you touch the lamp or need to clean it for any reason, wipe with a paper towel dampened with alcohol or any ammonia-based cleaner (such as Windex brand).
Remove the cover by lifting up on the
RELEASE TAB
at the bottom of the cover and sliding the cover upward.
Turn the lamp 1/4 turn (two “clicks”) and slide it from its fixture. Replace with a new lamp of the same type.
Replacement lamps are available directly from The Sharper Image.
