Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air via its air intake, letting the air pass through an Active Carbon Filter (deodorisation filter) and a HEPA Filter (dust collection filter) inside the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet. The air purifier unit repeats this process continuously when its internal fan is working.
As air passes through the HEPA filter 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 filter.
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, especially when the product is used in a condition significantly more severe than household use, this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected.
If the odour persist the filters should be replaced.
In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement filter.
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.
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.)

FEATURES
"Plasmacluster" technology
Plasmacluster technology uses plasma discharge to produce and release the same positive and negative ions as those found in nature ("Plasmacluster ions").
This is a unique air cleaning technology 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*3 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).

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:
•Read all instructions before using the unit.
•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 fingers 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 fire 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 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 Approved Service Centre 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 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 purifier. Contact your nearest Approved 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.

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 filter.
•Do not wash and reuse HEPA filter .
It not only does not improve filter 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 sufficient 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 extended 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.
