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 dust and odor sensors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:
• Read all instructions before using the air purifier.
• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.
• Do not use the air purifier if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall
outlet is loose.
• Periodically remove dust from the power plug.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the intake or air outlet.
•When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.
Electrical shock and/or fire from short circuit may occur as result.
• Do not use this air purifier near gas appliances or fireplaces.
• Remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning the unit and when not using the
unit.
Electrical shock from bad insulation and / or fire from short circuit may occur as a result.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
Sharp authorized service or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• 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 a humidity condition.
• Use care when cleaning the air purifier. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only Sharp Authorized Servicers should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Servicer for any
problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• The batteries must be removed from the remote control before disposal, and the batteries must be
disposed of safely.
CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
• Do not block the intake and air outlet.
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as range or where it may come into contact with
steam.
• Always hold the handle on the back of the main unit when moving it.
• Holding the front 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.
Not only it does not improve filter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensor may malfunction as a result.
REMOTE CONTROL LIMITATIONS
DO NOT USE THE REMOTE CONTROL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
• Any location where there is inverter lighting equipment or electronic spontaneous lighting
equipment
The remote control may become inoperative. In this case, move away from such lighting equipment
or change direction.
• Location exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent.
The unit may not receive signals from the remote control.
E-2
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2m away from equipments
which involve electric wave such as televisions, radios or wave clocks, in case electrical
interference occurs to such equipments.
• Leave at least 60cm of space from the wall.
The motor may overheat, causing a malfunction.
•Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct wind.
The unit may not operate properly.
•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 drastic temperature changes.
• Place on a stable surface with sufficient air circulation.
• Do not install when there is generation of lampblack, such as in a kitchen, etc.
The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.
• The wall behind the air outlet may become dirty as time passes. When using the unit for extensive
period in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In addition, periodically clean the wall, etc.
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 HEP A Filter (dust collection filter) inside of the unit, then discharges the air
from its air outlet. The air purifier 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-P40SF.
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.

AUTO operation
The fan speed is automatically switched
(HIGH*, NORMAL, SILENT) depending
on the amount of pollution in the air. The
sensors detect the pollution for efficient
air purification.
15 min. HIGH* operation
The unit will operate at HIGH* fan speed
for 15 minutes, then will operate at Auto
operation.
The operation mode is effective when
quick removal of impurities in the air is
desired.
POLLEN mode operation
The unit will operate at HIGH* fan speed
for 10 minutes, then will alternate
between NORMAL and HIGH for 20
minutes.
10 minutes: HIGH fan speed
20 minutes:
20 minutes: HIGH fan speed
NORMAL fan speed
MAX operation
The unit will operate at a fan
speed of MAX.
NORMAL operation
The unit will operate at a fan
speed of NORMAL.
SILENT operation
The unit will operate quietly
using minimal air intake.
*HIGH fan speed is an
intermediate speed
between NORMAL
and MAX.
E-8
DETERMINING THE BASE IMPURITY RATE
For the first 30 seconds after the power plug is inserted into the wall outlet,
the unit will check the conditions of the air. If operation is set to ON during this
time, the CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT will alternately flash in green, orange and red.
PLASMACLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHT
Plasmacluster ion operation is selected using the remote control.
Blue light
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in Clean Mode, or in AUTO
Plasmacluster Ion Mode and the air in the room is impure, the light will
activate and the unit will operate in Clean Mode.
Green light
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in the Ion Control Mode, or in
AUTO Plasmacluster Ion Mode and the air in the room is clean, this light will
activate and the unit will operate in Ion Control Mode.
Light off
There are no Plasmacluster ions being generated.
• The light can be turned off by using the ‘Display ON/OFF Button’ on the
Remote Control. In this case, Plasmacluster ions are generated.
(Please turn off the light when not required.)
ENGLISH
CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT
The color changes according to the air condition.
Clean (Green) Slightly Impure (Orange) Very Impure (Red)
ABOUT THE CLEAN-SIGN
• The condition of the CLEAN-SIGN depends on the room air condition
detected by the Dust and Odor Sensor when the plug is inserted into the wall
outlet.
• It is possible to have a green CLEAN-SIGN with impurities in the air at the
time that the air purifier was just introduced to the room environment. After
a while, however, the base impurity rate will be adjusted to detect room air
condition correctly.
• Use the Display ON/OFF Button on the remote control to turn off the
Indicator light.
FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT
Clean the Active Carbon Filter when the Filter Indicator Light activates.
(The indicator light will activate in about 2 months, when using the unit or 24
hours daily.) (See Page E-12)
