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).

• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.
• Do not use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall outlet
is loosened.
• Periodically remove dust from the power plug.
• Do not insert ngers or foreign objects into the air intake or outlet.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.
Electrical shock and/or re from short circuit may occur as a result.
• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not use this unit near gas appliances or replaces.
• 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 re 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 Approved Service Centre or similarly qualied 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 in very high humidity conditions, such as a
bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only Sharp Approved Service Centres should service this air purier. Contact your nearest Ap-
proved Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, re or injury to persons:
NOTE
If this air purier should cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the unit and radio/TV receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
• Do not block the air intake and/or outlet.
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters or where it may come into
contact with steam.
• Do not lay the unit down when turned on.
• Always hold the handle on the back of the unit when moving it.
Holding the front panel when carrying may cause it to detach, thus dropping the unit and resulting
in personal injury.
• Do not operate the unit without the lter.
• Do not wash and reuse HEPA lter .
It not only does not improve lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Otherwise the unit surface may get damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• During operation, please place the unit at least 2 m away from equipment which may be
subject to electrical waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks.
• 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 air intake or outlet.
Curtains, etc., may become dirty or a unitl malfunction may occur.
• Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation, due to drastic temperature
changes.
(Use under appropriate conditions between 0 and 35˚C in the room.)
• Place on a stable surface with sufcient air circulation.
When placing the unit on a thick carpeted area, it may cause the unit to vibrate slightly.
• Do not install when there is a possibility of soot, such as in a kitchen, etc.
The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.
• Leave about 60cm of space from the wall.
The wall behind the air outlet may become dirty as time passes. When using the unit for an ex-
tended period of time in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In addition, periodically clean the wall.
FILTER GUIDELINES
• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the lters.
Use only lters designed for this product.
