1. Unplug the Air Purifier: Ensure the air purifier is completely disconnected from the power source before beginning any maintenance.
2. Remove Grille Cover and Filter: Carefully remove the outer grille cover and any filters to access the internal components.
3. Unscrew UV-C Bulb Cover: Locate the UV-C bulb cover, typically secured by two screws. Use a screwdriver to remove these screws.
4. Remove Light Cover: Detach the light cover to expose the UV-C bulb.
5. Replace Old Bulb: Gently push from the sides and rotate the old UV-C bulb to remove it. Insert the new Sendextra AP-UVC1 bulb, ensuring it is securely seated.
6. Reassemble: Reattach the light cover, secure the UV-C bulb cover with its screws, and replace the filters and outer grille cover.
7. Reset UV-C Indicator: After replacing the bulb and powering the air purifier back on, the UV-C indicator light may still be red. To reset it, press and hold the UV-C button on the control panel for approximately 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep or the light changes to blue.

4. Operation

Once installed, the Sendextra AP-UVC1 UV-C bulb operates automatically when the air purifier is powered on and the UV-C function is activated. The UV-C indicator light on your air purifier's control panel will illuminate blue to confirm active operation.

5. Maintenance

The Sendextra AP-UVC1 UV-C bulb is designed for a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours of use. It is recommended to replace the bulb when the UV-C indicator light on your air purifier begins to flash red, signaling the end of its effective life. Regular replacement ensures continuous optimal performance of your air purifier's UV-C function.

6. Troubleshooting

• UV-C Indicator Light Remains Red After Replacement: If the UV-C indicator light does not turn blue after installing a new bulb, it needs to be manually reset. Press and hold the UV-C button on the air purifier's control panel for 3-5 seconds until the light changes color or a beep is heard.
• Bulb Not Illuminating: Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in its socket and that the air purifier is properly plugged in and powered on. If the issue persists after resetting the indicator, contact customer support.
