HOW TO USE
GETTING STARTED
Upon plugging in your air purifier and powering it on, all lights on the
Control Panel will briefly illuminate to verify functionality.
POWER ON/OFF
Press the power button to turn the Purify 9 ON or OFF. The product will
remember and resume the user’s last settings.
PANELS LIGHTS ON/OFF
This feature enables the user to turn the panel lights ON or OFF. Press the
Panel Light button to turn this feature ON or OFF. The Panel Light button will
turn orange to indicate that the feature has been engaged. Immediately after
activation, the entire panel will go dark. Touch to any button will wake the
Control Panel and allow for setting adjustments before dimming again.
AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENT
To select one of the airflow settings, press the “ ” button to adjust to a
higher speed or press the “ ” button to adjust to a slower speed. The number
tells you what speed you are on.
NOTE: Dust and allergens are most airborne when persons and pets are
active in the room. For best results, set the unit on a higher speed setting
during these times for high-demand cleaning and circulation. Set the unit to a
lower setting for quieter operation when activity is reduced.
AUTO MODE
The Purify 9 will continuously monitor the air quality of the room to detect
the presence of particles and gases/odors. In Auto Mode, the fan speed will
adjust speeds as needed to maintain optimum air quality depending on the
detection of particles and gases/odor in the air.
When to Use: This feature allows the unit to reduce energy usage when fewer
airborne contaminants are present in the room. Because active people and pets
tend to stir up airborne particles and odors, the unit will tend to increase
speed during peak periods of activity in the room until lower readings are
obtained. This feature is ideal for rooms where activity fluctuates greatly
based on the time of day. Press the Auto Mode button to turn this feature ON
or OFF. The Auto Mode icon will turn orange to indicate that Auto Mode is
active.
SLEEP MODE
This feature senses room light conditions and automatically adjusts the unit
to the lowest speed setting when in no or low light. In regular light, the
unit will operate in the previous setting. Higher and more powerful speeds may
be used throughout the day with lower speeds and minimal noise being
preferable at night. Press the Sleep Mode button to turn this feature ON or
OFF. The Sleep Mode icon will turn orange to indicate that Sleep Mode is
active.
NOTE: When Auto Mode and Sleep Mode are both engaged and the product is
in a low light setting (i.e. nighttime) the product will only operate on the
lower speeds 1 through 3 to ensure the unit is providing a consistent, low
noise level during nighttime sleep.
FILTER AND REPLACEMENT
Your product is equipped with a Filter Replacement indicator light to show
when it is recommended to change the filter. 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.
VISUAL AIR QUALITY INDICATOR
Your product is equipped to give you visual feedback on the air quality in your room. The color ring displays the air quality in real-time, making your once invisible concerns visible.
VISUAL AIR QUALITY INDICATOR
GREEN – Good Air Quality
YELLOW – Moderate Air Quality
RED – Poor Air Quality
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.
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
help@sihomecomfort.com or call
1-833-800-8669.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
GENUINE SHARPER IMAGE FILTERS ARE RECOMMENDED
Peak performance is only realized when genuine Sharper Image True HEPA filters
are used. Others may claim to be compatible with Sharper Image units, but the
Sharper Image Air Purifier is calibrated to achieve a 99.97% capture rate of
particles 0.3 microns or larger, only when used with Sharper Image Filters.
