DANGER: Electrical Shock

WARNING: Electrical Shock

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

• Always unplug the unit before servicing.

• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with the usage of electrical appliances.

For this reason, always supervise children when they are near the device.

• Do not carry this unit by the cord or use the cord as a handle.

• Do not handle the unit or plug with wet hands.

• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug itself, when unplugging from an outlet.

• Do not put any objects into the openings or block the airflow to the unit.

• Do not defeat interlock switch.

• Do not operate with an extension cord.

• Opening windows or doors while operating this device may affect performance.

• This device should not be used in the presence of oxygen or any flammable liquid or gases

How It Works

The GermGuardian's powerful fan moves air through the center chamber where germs are

exposed to ultraviolet-C light. The highly reflective chamber maximizes the germ-killing

power of the UV-C light and the microorganisms passing through it are destroyed.

Sanitized air then flows back into the room.

NOTE: It is recommended to run the GG3000B continuously.

Opening doors and/or windows may effect the

performance of this device.

WARNING - Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced

by the lamp in this apparatus. Always disconnect power before revamping or servicing.

Ultraviolet light technology, the same technology used in hospitals and commercial settings for

sanitizing, is capable of eradicating microorganisms, mold spores and viral contaminants from the air.

It is recommended that you leave the GermGuardian UV-C Air Sanitizer running continuously.

Areplaceable 9-watt UV-C light bulb should last approximately 6,000 hours, this number could

vary in some circumstances. A filter that helps reduce odors is also in the product and should be

replaced once a year. Over time, with use, the 9-watt UV-C bulb will lose some intensity

(about 15% at 9,000 hours), therefore it is suggested that the light bulb be replaced once every year.

You will know when to change the 9-watt light bulb when it continuously flickers or changes color.

The replacement bulb and filter come in one package.
