Ultraviolet light technology, the same technology used in hospitals and commercial settings for
sanitizing, is capable of eradicating microorganisms, mold spores and viral contaminants from the air.
It is recommended that you leave the GermGuardian UV-C Air Sanitizer running continuously.
A replaceable 9-watt UV-C light bulb should last approximately 6,000 hours, this number could
vary in some circumstances. A filter that helps reduce odors is also in the product and should be
replaced once a year. Over time, with use, the 9-watt UV-C bulb will lose some intensity
(about 15% at 9,000 hours), therefore it is suggested that the light bulb be replaced once every year.
You will know when to change the 9-watt light bulb when it continuously flickers or changes color.
The replacement bulb and filter come in one package.
