PLEASE READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

DANGER: Electrical Shock

• Use this product only as described in this manual.
• Operate this product on 120V AC, 60HZ only.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - This portable luminaire has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter the plug.
• Do not operate this product with a damaged cord or if there is any physical damage to the unit.
  • This product is for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this product in any area where there is a risk of the unit falling into or being exposed to water.

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 operate without cover in place.
- 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

WARNING: The cords, wires and/or cables supplied with this product contain chemicals, including lead or lead compounds, known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after using. (California code of regulations Proposition 65)

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. Replace Lamp With Lamp Model EV9BL

The 8 hour TWA Ozone for this product is 0.001 ppmv when tested in a 30m^3 chamber. The product complies with the maximum allowable concentration of ozone of 0.050 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in a 24-hour period. The Health Canada Guideline 2010 recommends that the maximum exposure limit, based on averaging time of 8 hours, is 0.020 ppmv or less when tested in a sealed, controlled room approximately 30m^3 .

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.

germguardian

NOTE: It is recommended to run the GG3000B continuously. Opening doors and/or windows may effect the performance of this device.

UV-C Light Bulb & Filter

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. A replaceable 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.

WARNING: Electrical Shock

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU CLEAN THE BULB, BULB HOLDER OR CYLINDER WITH WATER OR WET SOLUTIONS. THIS COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Use of the GermGuardian Unit

When the GermGuardian is turned on you will see five dots of blue light that let you know it is working. Depending on dust conditions and build-up, you may need to occasionally clean the bulb and cylinder with a soft, dry cloth. This product is safe for use around children and pets, and is cool to the touch.

Directions for Use

1. Plug unit into a 120V AC electric outlet.
2. Press the power button. The ring will illuminate around the button.
3. Press the power button to adjust the fan speed. (Bright blue is HIGH, Light blue is LOW).
4. For best results continuous operation is recommended.
5. To turn off the unit press and hold power button for five seconds.

NOTE: THE GERMGUARDIAN UNIT CONTAINS NO SERVICEABLE PARTS EXCEPT ITS UV-C BULB AND FILTER. THE BULB AND FILTER MAY BE REMOVED FOR REPLACEMENT.
