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 iUVW3 is safe to use on everyday essentials including eyeglasses, smartphones, cosmetic tools, toothbrushes, and more.

USING THE UV BRACKETS

Brackets are provided to ensure optimal spacing between your objects and the UVC LEDs. Swing brackets to a perpendicular position to provide adequate space.

SANITIZING ITEMS

Make sure the iUVW3 is plugged into a working wall outlet not controlled by a light switch. Lift the lid of the unit and place items inside, making sure not to overlap items. Close the lid.
Press and release the Sanitize Button to begin a UV sanitizing cycle. A countdown timer will display the remaining cycle time, the Sanitize status indicator will appear on the display, and a beep will sound when the cycle is complete.
To extend to the current cleaning cycle, press and release the Sanitize Button again. Each press adds 180 seconds to the cycle, with a maximum cleaning time of 900 seconds. When the cleaning cycle is over, ‘End’ will appear on the clock display for 2 seconds, and then the display will show the current time.

NOTES

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.
If the lid is opened during the UV sanitizing cycle, the timer will pause. Closing the lid within 1 minute will resume the cycle.
We recommend leaving the brackets in place while sanitizing your items. If items are too large, the brackets may be removed. In those cases we recommend flipping the items over and sanitizing a second time for
optimal effect.
To cancel a sanitizing cycle, press and hold the Sanitize Button for 2 seconds. The clock time will appear on the display.
