The air purier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Pre-Filter, a Washable Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air through the air outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles
as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the lter and also helps absorb odours. The
Washable Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the lter.
Some odours absorbed by the lters may break down over time, resulting in additional
odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this
odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the
lters should be replaced.
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 source of the odour still exists, the
air purier may not completely remove the odour.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING
• 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 plug.
• Do not insert ngers or foreign objects into the air intake or air outlet.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull on the cord.
Electrical shock and/or re from a short circuit may result.
• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not use this unit near gas appliances or replaces.
When relling the Water Tank, cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use, be sure to unplug
•
the unit. Electrical shock and/or re from a short circuit may result
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a
Sharp authorized 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 locations where the unit may get wet,
such as a bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purier. Contact the nearest Service
Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• When carrying the unit, remove the Water Tank and Humidifying Tray rst and hold the unit by han
dles on both sides.
• Do not drink the water in the Humidifying Tray or Water Tank.
• Change the water in the Water Tank daily with fresh tap water and regularly clean the Water Tank
and Humidifying Tray. (See E-12 and E-13). When unit is not in use, dispose of the water in the
Water Tank and Humidifying Tray. Leaving water in the Water Tank and/or Humidifying Tray may
result in mold, bacteria, and bad odours.
In rare cases, this bacteria may cause harmful physical effects.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sen
sory 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.

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 distance between the unit and radio/TV receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
• Do not block the intake and/or air 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.
• Always operate the unit in an upright position.
• Hold the unit by using the handles on both sides when moving.
Do not move when the unit is in operation.
• Do not operate the unit without the lters, Water Tank, and Humidifying Tray properly in
stalled.
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA lter.
Not only does it not improve lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Do not use volatile uids and/or detergents.
The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
• Frequency of maintenance required (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impuri
ties of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
• Keep the unit away from water.
-
-
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When using the unit, place at least 2m away from equipment utilizing electric waves such
as televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.
• Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct wind.
The unit may not operate properly.
• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and
restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.
• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic temperature
changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is between 5 – 35 ºC.
• Place on a stable surface with sufcient air circulation.
When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.
Place the unit on an even surface to avoid water leakage from the Water Tank and/or Humidifying
Tray.
• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.
The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction as a result.
• Place the unit about 30 cm~60 cm(1~2 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper air
ow.
The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an ex
tended period of time in the same location, periodically clean the wall and protect the wall with a
vinyl sheet, etc. to prevent the wall from becoming dirty.
FILTER GUIDELINES
• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the lters.

Filter life will vary depending on the room environment, usage, and location of the unit. If dust
or odours persist, replace the lters.
(Refer to “Please read before operating your new Air Purier”)
Guide for lter replacement timing
HEPA Filter
Filter life can be greatly reduced depending on the room environment. Cigarette smoke, pet dander,
and other airborne particles can reduce lter life. Check lters regularly and replace as necessary.
Up to 5 years after opening
Washable Deodorizing Filter
The lter can be repeatedly used after washing, or it can be replaced.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, please review the Troubleshooting chart below, since the problem may not
be a unit malfunction.
SYMPTOMREMEDY (not a malfunction)
Odours and smoke are not
removed.
The Front Monitor illuminates
green even when the air is
