AIR PURIFIER with Humidifying Function

OPERATION MANUAL

*The number in this technology mark indicates the approximate number of ions supplied into 1

of air, which is measured around the center

cm of a room (with the “High-Density Plasmacluster

7000” applicable oor area), at a height of 1.2m above the oor, at the MAX wind volume setting in air purifying mode, and when a humidier & air purier or an air purier using the high-

density plasmacluster ion evolving device is

placed close to a wall. This product is equipped with a device of corresponding capacity.

Before operating your new air purier, please read the following

The air purier draws in room air through the air intake, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the unit, and then discharges it 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 odors. The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the lter.

Some odors absorbed by the lters will break down over time, causing additional odors.

Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in environments

signicantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odors persist, replace the lters. (Ref. E-14)

NOTE

• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odors. The air purier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained in

cigarette smoke.

The air purier may not completely remove an odor if the source of the odor is still present.

FEATURES

A Unique Combination of Air Treatment

Technologies Triple Filtration System + Plasmacluster + Humidication

TRAPS DUST*

Pre-Filter traps dust and other large

airborne particles.

DECREASES ODORS

Deodorizing lter absorbs many common

household odors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances, including the following:

Always observe the following to reduce the risk of electrical shock, re, or injury:

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 if 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 air outlet.

•

When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.

•

Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or re.

• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet. Do not use this unit near gas appliances or replaces.

•

Always unplug the unit when relling the Humidifying Tray, cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not

•

in use. Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or re.

In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by either

•

the manufacturer, a service agent, a Sharp authorized Service Center or a similarly qualied service provider.

Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center should service this air purier. Contact the nearest Service

•

Center for any problems, adjustments, or repairs. Do not operate the unit in rooms where aerosol insecticides are present. Do not operate the unit in

•

rooms where there is oily residue, incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, or chemical fumes in the air. Do not operate the unit in places where it may get wet, such as a bathroom. Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Strong corrosive cleansers can damage the exterior.

•

When carrying / moving the unit, rst remove the Humidifying Tray, and then hold the unit by the

•

handles on both sides.

Carrying / moving the unit when there is water in the Humidifying Tray can cause the following:

•

Electrical shock.

•

Damage to the unit caused by internal spillage.

•

Water spillage.

Do not drink the water in the Humidifying Tray.

•

Replace the water in the Humidifying Tray daily with fresh tap water, and regularly clean it

•

(Ref. E-12 and E-13). When the unit is not in use, dispose of the water in the Humidifying Tray. Leaving water in the Humidifying Tray can cause mold, bacteria, and bad odors. In rare cases, such bacteria can be a health hazard.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

•

sensory, or mental capabilities, nor by persons with insufcient experience and knowledge of how

to operate the unit, unless they are given proper supervision and instruction on how to use the unit by a person responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play with the unit.

What to do if the unit interferes with radio or TV reception

NOTE

If the air purier interferes with radio or television reception, try one or more of the following measures:

Adjust or reposition the receiving antenna.

•

Increase the distance between the unit and the radio or TV.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the radio or TV receiver.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

•

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

• Do not operate the unit without the lters and the Humidifying Tray properly installed.

• Keep the unit away from water.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA lter and Deodorizing lter. Doing so will not improve lter performance and can also cause electric shock or operating

malfunctions.

• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only. Do not use volatile liquids or detergents. Doing so can damage or crack the exterior of the unit. In addition, doing so can cause sensor malfunctions.

• The frequency of descaling maintenance will depend on the hardness of and the impurities in the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

• Before moving the unit, make sure it is not operating, and remove the Humidifying Tray while holding the side handle of the unit.

• When removing / reattaching the Humidifying Tray, be careful not to get your ngers caught inside the

unit.

• When moving the unit, use the handles on both sides. Do not move the unit when it is in operation.

• Do not block the air intake or air outlet.

• Do not place 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.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• When using the unit, place it at least 2 meters away from equipment that emits electric waves, such

as televisions or radios, to avoid electrical interference.

• Avoid locations where the sensors are exposed to direct wind. Failure to do so can cause the unit to malfunction.

• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the unit and

interfere with the intake and outtake of air.

• Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.

• Place the unit on a level and stable surface with sufcient air circulation.

When placed on heavy carpet, the unit may vibrate slightly. Place the unit on a level surface to avoid water leakage from the Humidifying Tray.

• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke. Failure to do so can cause the unit exterior to crack and the sensors to malfunction.

• The dust collecting ability of the unit is effective even when the unit is as close to 3 cm from the wall, the surrounding walls and oor may get dirty. Please place the unit at a distance from the wall. The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the unit for an extended period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it.

FILTER GUIDELINES

• Follow the instructions in this manual for proper lter care and maintenance.
