HOW THE SUNBEAM HEPA 2500
AIR CLEANER WORKS
The air around you is filled with thousands of particles
of air pollution. Some of the pollutants (dust, smoke
and lint) are visible to the naked eye, but most of the
pollutants (pollen and bacteria, to name a few) are
microscopic in size.
Figure 2
UNIT LOCATION
Your true HEPA Filter is enclosed with a sealing label Select the location for your air cleaner with an electri-
placed over the top of the collector assembly. This cal outlet nearby. An example of locating your air
label provides a complete sealing of the HEPA Filter cleaner is shown in Figure 3.
ensuring a 99.97% efficiency at removing common
indoor air particles. Do not remove this label unless
replacing the HEPA or Charcoal Filter.
NOTE: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD TO
SUPPLY POWER TO YOUR AIR CLEANER.
As polluted air is drawn into your console air cleaner
(Figure
1), an Aluminum Pre-Filter strains out the
larger particles of pollution. The air then passes
through the cartridge air filter (HEPA Filter) where
microscopic particles are collected.
Your console air cleaner can be placed almost any-
,
where as long as the air can freely circulate into the top
front grill and out of the bottom front grill. (Figure 1)
The now cleaned air then passes through a filter of
activated carbon. Activated carbon acts like a sponge
to help remove odors. (Figure 2) Having been cleaned
three ways, the air returns to the room through the
bottom front grill. (Figure 1)

OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
Plug the cord into any standard household electrical
outlet. (See data label for electrical specifications and
power consumption. This data label can be seen when
the cabinet top is removed.)
Turn the unit on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the
desired speed: “DAILY USE, MEDIUM or HIGH”. (Fig-
ure 4) The air cleaner should be set on HIGH for 1
minute before switching to desired speed to initially
start-up the unit. Your air cleaner is designed for con-
tinuous operation -- peak efficiency is obtained when
the air cleaner remains on constantly. For best results,
select “DAILY USE” setting.
An operating light is located on the top right front grill
and indicates that the unit is operating. (Figure 5)

CARE OF CABINET
You should treat the cabinet of your air cleaner as you
would any other piece of fine furniture. A soft, damp
cloth will keep it clean and attractive for many years.
The front grill can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner
with a brush attachment.
TO REMOVE HEPA FILTER ASSEMBLY
Turn off the air cleaner and unplug it from the electri-
cal power source.
Remove the cabinet top by lifting up and remove the
Sealing Label (enables 99.97% efficiency) from the top
of the HEPA Filter Assembly. Do not discard Sealing
Label. Lift out the collector assembly using the flip-up
handle. (Figure 6)
The HEPA Filter Assembly includes:
Aluminum Pre-Filter, HEPA Filter and Charcoal
After-Filter.
The front filter (Aluminum) is the Pre-Filter. The HEPA
Filter is the middle (large) filter, and the Charcoal After-
Filter is in the back of the HEPA Filter Assembly. (Fig-

TO CLEAN PRE-FILTER TO REPLACE HEPA FILTER ASSEMBLY

bly. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water. Set aside
to dry.
NOTE: Use directions on the top of the HEPA Filter
Assembly for proper placement of the filters
into the assembly and for replacing the as-
sembly into the unit.
REPLACEMENT OF HEPA FILTER
After about 12 months of collecting dirt, dust, pollen
and other pollutants, the HEPA Filter of your unit will
need to be replaced. The
HEPA Filter cannot be
cleaned. Use the enclosed reorder form to order
replacement filters if not available from your retailer.
Remove the Pre-Filter and Charcoal After-Filter from
the HEPA Filter Assembly and place aside. The HEPA
Filter can now be discarded. Using the directions on
top of the new HEPA Filter, replace the aluminum
Pre-Filter in slots provided in front of the HEPA Filter
and replace the Charcoal After-Filter in the slots pro-
vided in the back.
Using the handle, slide the HEPA Filter Assembly back
into the cabinet. Aluminum Pre-Filter will face the front
grill. Replace the Sealing Label provided with the new
HEPA Filter over the opening containing the HEPA
Filter Assembly.
TO REPLACE CABINET TOP
Replace the cabinet top by positioning over the unit
and placing on cabinet. (Figure 8) Be sure that the plas-
tic ball and socket are engaged.
Plug the cord into the electrical power source and
select desired speed.
REPLACEMENT OF CHARCOAL FILTER
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER HELPS REMOVE
HOUSEHOLD ODORS.
To remove the Charcoal Filter, remove the Sealing
Label from top of Filter Assembly and place aside so it
can be reused. Remove the Charcoal Filter from the
Filter Assembly. Do not wash the Charcoal Filter. It
should be replaced every 3-6 months under average
conditions. These filters are available in your retail
store or use the enclosed order form.
After replacing the Charcoal Filter, return the Filter
Assembly back into the cabinet. Reseal the top of the
Filter Assembly with the Sealing Label removed pre-
viously.
