Elements removable by filters
pollen, mite allergen, viruses,
moulds, dust, particles of
cigarette smoke, pet dander
cigarette smoke odour,
household odour (toilet /
raw garbage / pet, etc.)
The air purifier draws in room air via its air intake, letting the air pass
through an Active Carbon Filter (deodorisation lter) and a HEPA Filter (dust
collection lter) inside the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet.
The air purier unit repeats this process continuously when its internal fan is
working.
As air passes through the HEPA lter it removes 99.97% of dust particles (as
small as 0.3 microns).The Active Carbon Filter gradually absorbs odour elements as they repeatedly pass through the lter.
Some odour ingredients absorbed by the lters may become separated and
may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
a condition signicantly more severe than household use, this odour may
become strong in a shorter period than expected.
If the odour persist the lters should be replaced.
In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement lter.
NOTE
• The air purier 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.

FEATURES
"Plasmacluster" technology
Plasmacluster technology uses plasma discharge to produce and release
the same positive and negative ions
as those found in nature ("Plasma-
cluster ions").
This is a unique air cleaning technol-
ogy of the SHARP CORPORATION
for breaking down and inactivating
such potential allergens as the faecal
matter or corpses of aerial mites*1,
viruses*2 and mould and bacteria*
suspended in the air, and has been
substantiated by third-party organisations both in Japan and overseas.
When there is a high density of Plasmacluster ions in the air, the smell of
cigarette smoke trapped in curtains
or sofas is removed in about 80 minutes*4, and when clothing is hung in
a place exposed to the direct air expelled from the unit generating Plasmacluster ions, the smell of sweat is
reduced to a virtually imperceptible
level in one night (about 6 hours).
