TRUE HEPA FILTRATION
Without properly calibrated airflow, products with a True HEPA Filter will not
achieve their full filtration potential. Gaps, poorly sealed filter housings, and
excessive air velocity all reduce the effectiveness of the product. Independent
testing labratory verifies that the precise calibration of a Sharper Image Air Purifier
allows it to perform at True HEPA standards.

MD1-0044
Part # MD1-0043
2 STAGE FILTRATION
Carbon filtration captures odors and prolongs
HEPA filter life. HEPA filtration captures 99.97%
of particles 0.3 microns or larger, to effectively
clean large volumes of air.
Maintain the high efficiency of your Sharper
Image Air Purifier by regularly replacing
used filters with fresh new ones. Your Sharper
Image Air Purifier will indicate with an
illuminated filter replacement light when
it is time to change the filters. To purchase
replacement filters, please email help@
sihomecomfort.com or call 1-833-800-8669.

14 English
GENUINE SHARPER IMAGE FILTERS ARE RECOMMENDED
Peak performance is only realized when genuine Sharper Image Carbon and
HEPA filters are used. Others may claim to be compatible with Sharper Image

rate of particles 0.3 microns or larger, only when used with Sharper Image Filters.
