The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze® Air Freshener for Bathrooms & Small Spaces (model SI627) is an electrical appliance designed to reduce unpleasant odors in small areas without the use of fragrances or sprays. It operates by ionizing the air, a process that helps to neutralize odors.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Ionic Breeze® Air Freshener is to eliminate odors in bathrooms and other small spaces. It achieves this through an ionic purification process, which is a common method for air fresheners that do not rely on scented sprays or chemicals. The device is designed for continuous operation, providing 24-hour odor reduction. A notable feature is its integrated LED night-light, which illuminates continuously and is energy-efficient, requiring only a few pennies worth of energy per day and never needing a bulb replacement. Users might hear a static-like sound during operation, which the manual clarifies is often caused by moisture and is considered harmless.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power Requirements: The appliance operates at 120V AC and 60 Hz.
Intended Use: It is designed exclusively for indoor use.
Interference: The unit may cause temporary interference with electrical components such as radios or computers. If this occurs, the user is advised to relocate the unit.
Compliance: The product complies with DHHS Rule 21 subchapter J at the date of manufacture and with Part 15 of the FCC Rules for Class B digital devices. This means it is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation and must accept any interference received.

Usage Features:

Plug-and-Play Operation: To use the device, simply plug it into a standard 110-220V wall outlet.
Odor Reduction: It significantly reduces unpleasant odors without the need for fragrances or sprays, making it suitable for individuals sensitive to scents.
Night-Light: The built-in LED night-light provides continuous illumination, adding a practical feature for bathrooms or dark spaces.

2. Remove Blades: Slide the collection blades out from the top of the unit.

4. Dry Blades: It is crucial that the collection blades are completely dry before reinserting them into the unit.
5. Reinsert Blades: Slide the clean, dry collection blades completely back into the top of the unit.
6. Shake Unit: After cleaning the blades, shake the entire unit back and forth several times to dislodge any hidden debris from the ionizing wires.
