CLEAN-UP OF BROKEN LAMPS
(see warnings on page two of this manual)
UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury, like a typical fluorescent lamp. DO NOT touch any of the mercury with your
bare hands.
1. While wearing disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves. Carefully pick up the large pieces of glass with your
hands.
2. Vacuum the entire area with a standard household vacuum cleaner ensuring the removal of all lamp material.
3. Dispose of the pieces of glass, the vacuum cleaner bag, and the disposable gloves in a sealed garbage bag.
4. Check with your local waste management authority for local disposal or recycling requirements. According to the
EPA’s Universal Waste Rule, these types of lamps may be disposed of into household waste.
5. Wash hands and remove and wash clothes for added safety measures.
The health aspects associated with the use of these products and their ability to aid in disinfecting of environmental air have not been investigated by UL.
WARNING: Never expose eyes or skin to UVC light from any source. Looking directly at the UVC light may cause permanent
eye damage or blindness. Never operate the
UV-Aire
Air Purifying System out of the plenum. Avoid touching the
glass portion of the lamp with your hands.
