USING THE SANITIZER

This superior quality UV-C LED light safely kills up to 99.9% of surface germs in under 3 minutes, without using harmful chemicals. The iUVBT1 is safe to use on everyday essentials including eyeglasses, smartphones, cosmetic tools, toothbrushes, and more.

INSTALLING THE UV SHELF

A shelf is provided to ensure optimal spacing between your objects and the UVC LEDs. Place the shelf inside the cabinet and firmly press it into the locking tabs.

SANITIZING ITEMS

1. Make sure the iUVBT1 is plugged into a working wall outlet. Lift the lid of the unit and place items on the shelf, making sure not to overlap items. Close the lid.
2. Press and release the Sanitize Button to begin a UV sanitizing cycle. A countdown timer will display the remaining cycle time, LED status indicator (around the rim of the cabinet) will slowly blink, and a tone will
   sound when the cycle is complete.

NOTES

1. Features a built-in safety switch that will shut off the UV light whenever the lid is opened. Do not attempt to defeat the safety function and operate the unit with an open lid.
2. If the lid is opened during the UV sanitizing cycle, the timer will pause. Closing the lid within 1 minute will resume the cycle.
3. We recommend leaving the shelf in place while sanitizing your items. If items are too large, the shelf may be removed. In those cases we recommend flipping the items over and sanitizing a second time for optimal effect.
4. To cancel a sanitizing cycle, press the Sanitize Button.
