FRANÇAIS OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd 1OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd 1 12/4/12 9:42 AM12/4/12 9:42 AMNOTE The air purifi er draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre- Filter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the fi lter and also helps absorb odours. The Washable Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the fi lter. Some odours absorbed by the fi lters may break down over time, resulting in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the fi lters should be replaced.

• The air purifi er is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odour still exists, the air purifi er may not completely remove the odour. (Common illustration has used “KC-A60EU”.)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fi re or injury to persons:

• 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 plug.

• Do not insert fi ngers or foreign objects into the air intake or air outlet.

• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull on the cord. Electrical shock and/or fi re from a short circuit may result.

• Be careful not to damage the power cord, it may cause electric shock, excess heat or fi res.

• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.

• Do not use this unit near gas appliances or fi replaces.

• When refi lling the Water Tank, cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use, be sure to unplug the unit. Electrical shock and/or fi re from a short circuit may result.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a Sharp authorized Service Centre or similarly qualifi ed person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purifi er. Contact the nearest Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.

• 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 locations where the unit may get wet, such as a bathroom.

• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.

• When carrying the unit, remove the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray fi rst and hold the unit by handles on both sides.

• Do not drink the water in the Humidifying Tray or Water Tank.

• Change the water in the Water Tank daily with fresh tap water and regularly clean the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray. (See E-12 and E-13). When unit is not in use, dispose of the water in the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray. Leaving water in the Water Tank and/or Humidifying Tray may result in mold, bacteria, and bad odours. In rare cases, this bacteria may cause harmful physical effects.

• 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 distance 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. OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd Sec1:2OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd Sec1:2 12/4/12 9:42 AM12/4/12 9:42 AME-3 ENGLISH

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.

• Always operate the unit in an upright position.

• Hold the unit by using the handles on both sides when moving. Do not move when the unit is in operation.

• Do not move or change the direction of the main unit while dragging the casters.

• Lift it up and move such as a tatami mat, a fl oor which gets damaged easily, an uneven place, and thick-poled carpet.

• When moving by the caster, move it in a horizontal direction.

• Turn the appliance off and remove the water tank before moving, take care not to catch your fi ngers.

• Do not operate the unit without the filters, Water Tank, and Humidifying Tray properly installed.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA fi lter. Not only does it not improve fi lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.

• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only. Do not use volatile fl uids and/or detergents. The unit surface may be damaged or cracked. In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.

• Frequency of maintenance required (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impurities of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

• Keep the unit away from water. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• When using the unit, place at least 2m away from equipment utilizing electric waves such as televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.

• Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct wind. The unit may not operate properly.

• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.

• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic temperature changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is between 5 – 35 ºC.

• Place on a stable surface with suffi cient air circulation. When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly. Place the unit on an even surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and/or Humidifying Tray.

• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated. The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.

• Place the unit about 30 cm(1 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper airfl ow. The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an extended period of time in the same location, periodically clean the wall and protect the wall with a vinyl sheet, etc. to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. FILTER GUIDELINES

• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the fi lters. OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd Sec1:3OM_KC-A60EU_EN.indd Sec1:3 12/4/12 9:42 AM12/4/12 9:42 AME-4 PART NAMES FRONT / BACK 1 Main Unit Display (Ref.E-5)
