FEATURES

Plasmacluster Ion Control

The unit controls the ratio of negative ions and positive ions depending on the condition of the room.

- Clean Mode

Approximately the same numbers of positive and negative ions are discharged. This mode is effective for reducing some airborne mold.

- Ion Control Mode

Plenty of negative ions exist in natural surroundings such as waterfalls or forests. In this mode, negative ions will be released in an increased rate, in order to bring the room air close to this natural environment.

• AUTO Plasmacluster Ion Mode

The unit will switch between Clean Mode and Ion Control Mode automatically depending on the amount of impurities in the air detected by the odor sensor.

- Filters

1) Active Carbon Filter
Absorb odor elements.

2) HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter with Microbial Control Filter

High-efficiency particle collection including pollen and dust.

FILTER GUIDELINES

- Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the filters.

HOW SHARP AIR PURIFIER WORKS

An air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through an Active Carbon Filter (Deodorizing Filter) and a HEPA Filter (dust collection filter) inside of the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet. The air purifier unit repeats this process by moving its internal fan.

As air passes through, the HEPA Filter can remove dust particles. The Active Carbon Filter gradually absorbs odor elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter.

(Odor elements are absorbed by HEPA Filter as well.)

Some odor ingredients absorbed by the filters may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odor. Depending on the usage environment, this odor may become strong in a shorter period than expected.

In this case, purchase the optional replacement filter kit FZ-P25SF.

NOTE

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