Frequently Asked Questions - KC-930EU SHARP

How to install the filters?

Remove the rear panel by pulling the tab at the top. Take the filters out of their plastic bag. Place the HEPA/deodorizing filter into the unit (pay attention to the direction). Replace the rear panel. Make sure the filter is properly in place.

How to fill the water tank?

Remove the tank by unlocking it from the top. Open the cap and fill with fresh tap water. Close the cap tightly, wipe the outside, and put the tank back into the unit until the lock clicks. Change the water every day.

What to do when the filter indicator lights up?

The light turns on after approximately 720 hours of use. Clean the rear panel, sensors, and humidification filter. Then, plug in the unit, turn it on, and press the filter reset button for 3 seconds until the light turns off.

How to clean the humidification tray?

Remove the water tank, then the humidification tray. Empty the water. Wash the tray with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Clean the hard-to-reach parts with a cotton swab. Replace the float correctly. Reassemble everything.

What is the lifespan of the filters?

The HEPA/deodorizing filter should be replaced approximately every 2 years. The humidification filter should be replaced approximately every 1 year. These durations may vary depending on usage. Replace earlier if odor or dust persist.

How to use Plasmacluster mode?

Press the Plasmacluster Ion on/off button to activate or deactivate ion generation. The blue light turns on when the mode is active. This mode helps eliminate allergens, viruses, and mold.

What to do if the device does not detect cigarette smoke?

Check that the device is placed in a location where the sensor can detect impurities. Ensure the sensor openings are not obstructed or dirty. Gently clean the dust sensors if necessary.

Can the device be used without water?

Yes, you can use the device in air purification mode only without filling the water tank. In this case, the humidification mode will not work. Ensure the humidification tray is empty.

What to do in case of abnormal odor from the air outlet?

The filters may be very dirty: clean or replace them. Plasmacluster purifiers emit small amounts of ozone that may have an odor. If the odor persists, check the condition of the humidification filter and clean it.

Where to buy replacement filters?

Use exclusively the intended models: FZ-Y30SFE for the HEPA/deodorizing filter and FZ-Y30MFE for the humidification filter. Consult your SHARP dealer or authorized retailer to purchase these spare parts.

AIR PURIFIER with Humidifying Function OPERATION MANUAL

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.

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 faecal matter or corpses of aerial mites, viruses, and mold and bacteria 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, 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).

TROUBLESHOOTING CZ-14

TECHNICAL DATA CZ-15

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In such a case, we recommend using an additional filter and replacing it.

NOTE

The device is designed to reduce odors in the air, but it cannot remove all gases (for example, carbon monoxide, which may be present in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odor is still present, the device may not completely eliminate the odor (for example, odors from building materials and odors from pet waste). It is recommended to open a window slightly while the device is operating to improve ventilation.

Replacement of the filter / Deodorizing filter

Removing the filter elements

Dust, pollen, parts of cigarette smoke, pet dander

Odor

Odor of cigarette smoke, household odors (toilet / pet / kitchen, etc.)

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Plasmacluster Technology

Plasmacluster technology uses plasma discharge to generate and release the same positive and negative ions that are produced in nature (Plasmacluster ions). This is a unique air purification technology from SHARP, recognized for reducing and deactivating airborne allergens such as dust mites, mold, viruses, and bacteria, and for removing odors from the air. It has been verified by third-party organizations in Japan and other countries.

When the air has a high concentration of Plasmacluster ions, cigarette smoke that has entered a room or been breathed in will be removed in approximately 80 minutes*4, and when clothes are hung in a space that is exposed to the airflow from the device that emits Plasmacluster ions, the odor of the smoke will be reduced to almost zero within one night (approximately 6 hours).

*1 Tested by the University of Hiroshima, Japan, for the effect on airborne allergens in a 13 m² room. *2 Retroscreen Virology, Ltd., London, UK, measured the reduction of airborne viruses in a 1 m³ chamber. *3 Japan Spinners Inspecting Foundation, Japan, measured the removal of mold and bacteria from the air in a 13 m² room. *4 Japan Spinners Inspecting Foundation, Japan, measured the removal of smoke odor from fabric samples.
