Frequently Asked Questions - FUY30EUW SHARP

How do I install my Sharp FUY30EUW air purifier?

Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface, at least 30 cm from walls. Plug it into a power outlet. Press the power button to start.

How do I clean the pre-filter?

The pre-filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or by rinsing it in warm water (allow to dry completely before reinstalling). Do this every month.

When should I replace the HEPA and carbon filter?

The combined HEPA + activated carbon filter should be replaced approximately every 2 years, or when the replacement indicator lights up.

Is the Plasmacluster mode dangerous?

No, Plasmacluster is a patented Sharp technology that emits positive and negative ions to neutralize pollutants. It is safe for humans and animals.

What is the maximum coverage area of the appliance?

The Sharp FUY30EUW is designed for rooms up to 30 m². For optimal efficiency, adjust the speed according to the room size.

How do I use the timer?

Press the 'Timer' button to select 2, 4, or 8 hours. The appliance will turn off automatically after the selected delay.

Is the noise bothersome at night?

The appliance has a silent mode (22 dB(A)) for nighttime use. You can also use the timer to have it turn off after you fall asleep.

How to interpret the air quality sensor?

The dust sensor indicates air quality with a light: blue (good), green (moderate), red (poor). The fan speed adjusts automatically in auto mode.

What should I do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check the power outlet and power cord. Ensure the front filter is properly engaged. If the problem persists, contact Sharp customer service.

Where can I buy replacement filters?

Replacement filters (reference FZ-F30EU) are available online on the Sharp website or from authorized dealers. Verify compatibility with your model FUY30EUW.

USER MANUAL FUY30EUW SHARP

* Plasmacluster is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.

Free standing type

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 mites¹, viruses², 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).

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 both sides 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 it may also 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, 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 the 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 where 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 over time. When using the unit for an extended period in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In addition, periodically clean the wall.
