NOTITIESENGLISH Pre-FilterHEPA FilterDeodorizing Filter The air purier draws in room air through the air intake, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the main unit, and then discharges it through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the lter and also helps absorb odours.The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the lter. Some odours absorbed by the lters will break down over time, causing additional odours. Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the main unit is used in environments signicantly more severe than a normal household, these odours may become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odours persist, replace the lters. (page 9) NOTE

• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odours. The air purier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke. The air purier may not completely remove an odour if the source of the odour is still present. Please read before operating your new Air Purier HEPA FilterDeodorizing FilterPre-FilterEN-1

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances, including the following: WARNING – Always observe the following to reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or injury:

• Read all instructions before using the main unit.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a Sharp authorized Service Centre or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact the nearest Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.

Do not repair or disassemble the main unit yourself.

Be sure to remove the power plug, before performing maintenance, when removing and attaching and replacing the lter and when not using for a long time. Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or re.

• Do not use the main unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the connection to the wall outlet is loose.

• Periodically remove dust from the plug.

• Do not insert 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. Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or re.

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

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

• Do not place the main unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into contact with steam.

• Do not operate the main unit in rooms where aerosol insecticides are present. Do not operate the main unit in rooms where there is oily residue, incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, or chemical fumes in the air. Do not operate the main unit in places where it may get wet, such as a bathroom.

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

• Do not expose the main unit to water. Doing so can cause a short circuit or electrical shock.

NOTE – What to do if the main unit interferes with radio or TV reception If the air purifier interferes with radio or television reception, try one or more of the following measures:

• Adjust or reposition the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the main unit and the radio or TV.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the radio or TV receiver.

• Always operate the main unit in an upright position.

• Do not move the main unit when it is in operation.

• When moving the main unit, use the handles on both sides.

• If the main unit is on easily damaged ooring, an uneven surface, or thick- piled carpet, lift it up when moving.

• Do not operate the main unit without the lters properly installed.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA lter and the Deodorizing lter. Doing so will not improve lter performance and can also cause electric shock or operating malfunctions.

• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only. Do not use volatile uids or detergents. The main unit surface may be damaged or cracked with Benzine, paint thinner or polishing powder. In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.

• Keep the main unit away from water.

• Do not scrub the Back Panel hard during its maintenance. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Avoid locations where the sensors are exposed to direct wind. Doing so can cause the main unit to malfunction.

• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the main unit and interfere with the intake and outtake of air.

• Avoid locations where the main unit is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.

• Place the main unit on a level and stable surface with sufcient air circulation. When placed on heavy carpet, the main unit may vibrate slightly.

• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke. Doing so can cause the main unit exterior to crack and the sensors to malfunction.

• The dust collecting ability of the main unit is effective even when the main unit is as close to 3 cm from the wall,the surrounding walls and oor may get dirty. Please place the main unit at a distance from the wall. The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the main unit for an extended period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it.

• Follow the instructions in this manual for proper lter care and maintenance. (page 9)EN-4 PART NAMES
