Please read before operating your new Air Purifier

Some odour ingredients absorbed by the filter may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition significantly more severe than household use, this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement filter.

NOTE

• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke.) If the odour sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odour (for example, odours from construction materials and pet odours).
• It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.

Dust collection / Deodorizing Filter

Elements removed by filter

Dust

pollen, dust, particles of cigarette smoke, pet dander

Odour

cigarette smoke odour, household odour (toilet / raw garbage / pet, etc.)

FEATURES

"Plasmacluster" technology

Plasmacluster technology uses plasma discharge to produce and release the same positive and negative ions as those found in nature ("Plasmacluster ions").

This is a unique air cleaning technology of the SHARP CORPORATION for breaking down and inactivating such potential allergens as the fecal matter or corpses of aerial mites ^1 , viruses 2 and mold and bacteria *3 suspended in the air, and has been substantiated by third-party organizations both in Japan and overseas.

When there is a high density of Plasmacluster ions in the air, the smell of cigarette smoke trapped in curtains or sofas is removed in about 80 minutes ^*4 , and when clothing is hung in a place exposed to the direct air expelled from the unit generating Plasmacluster ions, the smell of sweat is reduced to a virtually imperceptible level in one night (about 6 hours).

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:

• Read all instructions before using the unit.
• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.
• Do not use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall outlet is loosened.
• Periodically remove dust from the power plug.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the intake or air outlet.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.

Electrical shock and/or fire from short circuit may occur as a result.

• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not use this unit near gas appliances or fireplaces.
• Remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning the unit and when not using the unit.

Electrical shock from bad insulation and/or fire from short circuit may occur as a result.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, Sharp Authorised Service Centre or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate when using aerosol insecticides or in rooms where there is oily residue, incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, chemical fumes in the air or in very high humidity conditions, such as a bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only Sharp Authorised Service Centre should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

NOTE - Radio or TV Interference

If this air purifier should cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the unit and radio/TV receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

• Do not block the intake and/or air outlet.
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters or where it may come into contact with steam.
• Do not lay the unit down when using.
• Always hold the handle on bothsides of the unit when moving it.

Holding the back panel when carrying may cause it to detach, thus dropping the unit and resulting in bodily injury.

• Do not operate the unit without the filter.
• Do not wash and reuse the filter.

Not only does it not improve filter performance, but also may cause electrical shock or malfunction.

- Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.

The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.

In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2 m away from equipment utilizing electrical waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks.
• Avoid locations where curtains, etc., come into contact with the intake or air outlet.

Curtains, etc., may become dirty or a malfunction may occur.

- Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation, due to rapid temperature changes.

(If it is unavoidable please allow unit to stand for 1 hour before switching on.)

(Use under appropriate conditions between 0 and 35°C in the room.)

- Place on a stable surface with sufficient air circulation.

When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, it may cause the unit to vibrate slightly.

- Do not install when there is a possibility of soot, such as in a kitchen, etc.

The unit surface may crack as a result.

- Leave about 60cm of space from the wall.

The wall behind the air outlet may become dirty as time passes. When using the unit for extended period of time in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In addition, periodically clean the wall.

FILTER GUIDELINES

- Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the filter. Use only filters designed for this product.
