GETTING STARTED
- The product will require some assembly before use. The base ships in two separate pieces and will need to be assembled. Simply unscrew the pivot nuts on each base half (keeping the O-ring installed on the base), marry the two base halves together, and reinstall the pivot nuts.
- Once the base is assembled and resting on the floor, place the PURIFY 5 directly on the base.
- To change the product orientation, simply flip the base over and rest the product on the baseNOTE: Do NOT place product directly on the floor without a base. Do NOT use products without a base.
CONTROL PANEL
HOW TO USE
- Press to power unit on and off.
- Select desired speed by pressing: Low, Medium, Medium-High, High. Speed is indicated by a number of fan speed lights illuminated.NOTE: Dust and allergens are most airborne when persons and pets are active in the room. For best results, set the unit on HIGH during these times for high-demand cleaning and circulation. Set the unit to a lower setting for quieter operation when activity is reduced.
- Filter Replacement – Your product is equipped with a Filter Replacement indicator light to show when it is recommended to change the filter cartridge.Please refer to FILTER REPLACEMENT for instructions. This feature is controlled by the time of use. The light will illuminate after 4,500 hours of run time has accumulated.NOTE: User environments will differ. The filter replacement time is based on average use situations. If you are using the air cleaner in a more demanding environment, you may need to change your filter more frequently. In less polluted environments the filter life may extend beyond the notification.
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 laboratory verifies that the precise calibration of a Sharper Image Air Purifier allows it to perform at True HEPA standards.
3-IN-1 FILTRATIONCarbon filtration captures odors and prolongs HEPA filter life. The honeycomb design and use of carbon pellets enable the filter to adsorb more household odors and harmful gases than a traditional carbon filter. HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger, to effectively clean large volumes of air. The Prefilter removes larger particles such as hair, pet dander, and mold spores.
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 icon when it is time to change the filter cartridge. To purchase replacement filter cartridges, please email [email protected] or call 1-833-800-8669.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
GENUINE SHARPER IMAGE FILTERS ARE RECOMMENDEDPeak performance is only realized when genuine Sharper Image Carbon and HEPA filters are used.
