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 odour sensors.
• SENTINEL Operation Mode
The “SENTINEL” function detects any air
enviornment that is favourable for
activation of mold, virus and allergen
using its 4 sensors for dust, odour,
temperature and humidity, and it releases
Plasmacluster Ions to create an
environment that controls the activity of
airborne microbes.
• Filters
1) Pre-Filter
It collects large particles.
2) Washable Active Carbon Filter
Its deodorizing performance can be
maintained by washing.
3) HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) Filter with
Microbial Control Filter
High-efficiency particle collection including pollen and dust.

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 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 odour elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter.
(Odour elements are absorbed by HEPA Filter as well.)
Some odour ingredients absorbed by the filters may become separated and may be discharged through
the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, this odour may
become strong in a shorter period than expected.
In this case, purchase the optional replacement filter kit FZ-P60SEF.
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.

SENTINEL Operation Indicator Light
When Plasmacluster Ion mode is ION AUTO or CLEAN mode, SENTINEL Operation is ready to be
activated, and when SENTINEL Operation is in active, the Plasmacluster Indicator Light (blue) turns on
and repeats its colour cycles between dark and light, and also the SENTINEL Operation Indicator Light
(green) turns on.
The “SENTINEL” function detects any air environment that is favourable for activation of mold, virus and
allergen using its 4 sensors for dust, odour, temperature and humidity, and it releases Plasmacluster
Ions to create an environment that controls the activity of airborne microbes.
The fan speed and amount of Plasmacluster Ions are automatically increased during AUTO operation,
while only the amount of Plasmacluster Ions is automatically increased during manual fan control mode
and Pollen mode.
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, this light will be activated 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 be activated 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 colour 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 Odour
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.
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.
FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT
Clean the Active Carbon Filter when the Filter Indicator Light is on.
(The indicator light will be activated in about 2 months, when using the unit for 24 hours a day.)
