This is a unique air cleaning technol-
ogy of the SHARP CORPORATION
for breaking down and eliminating
such potential allergens as the fecal
matter or corpses of aerial mites*1,
viruses *2 and mold and bacteria *3
suspended in the air, and has been
substantiated by third-party organiza-
tions both in Japan and overseas.
When there is a high density of Plas-
macluster ions in the air, the smell of
cigarette smoke trapped in curtains
or sofas is eliminated in about 80
minutes, and when clothing is hung in
a place exposed to the direct air ex-
pelled from the unit generating Plas-
macluster ions, the smell of sweat is
reduced to a virtually imperceptible
level in one night (about 6 hours).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:
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 power plug.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the intake or air 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 authorized 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 condition, such as a
bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Service
Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• 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 su-
pervision 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.
- Radio or TV Interference
NOTE
If this air purifier should cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interfer-
ence 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Do not lay the unit down when using.
• 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 bodily 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.
The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2 m away from equipment
which are 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 intake or air outlet.
Curtains, etc., may become dirty or a 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 heavily carpeted area, it may cause the unit to vibrate slightly.
• Do not install when there is generation of lampblack, 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 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.
FILTER GUIDELINES
• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the filters.

•It is possible to have a green CLEAN-SIGN with impurities in the air at the time
that the air purifier was just introduced to the room environment. After a while,
however, the base impurity rate will be adjusted to detect room air condition
correctly.

AUTO operation
SILENT operation
The fan speed is automatically switched
(MEDIUM, LOW) depending on the
amount of impurities in the air. The sen-
sors detect the impurities for efficient
air purification.
The unit will operate quietly
using minimal air intake.
MEDIUM operation
The unit will operate at a fan
speed of MEDIUM.
POLLEN mode operation
The unit will operate at HIGH* fan
speed for 10 minutes, then will alter-
nate between MEDIUM and HIGH* for
20 minutes.
MAX operation
The unit will operate at a fan
speed of MAX.
10 minutes: HIGH fan speed
20 minutes: MEDIUM fan speed
20 minutes: HIGH fan speed
* HIGH fan speed is an inter-
mediate speed between ME-
DIUM and MAX.
*LOW fan speed is an interme-
diate speed between SILENT
and MEDIUM.
ION SHOWER Mode Button
When pushing the ION SHOWER Mode button, the ION SHOWER op-
eration will be activated. (Direct start is available even when the unit is
not turned on.)
By continuously discharging strong airflow for 15 minutes the unit effectively re-
moves airborne dust, pollen, mold and allergens from the air as they are drawn
through the filter system.
•When the operation finishes, the unit will return to the prior operation.

Guide for filter replacement timing
• Filter life can be greatly reduced in a poor environment.
The presence of cigarette smoke, pet dander and other concentrations of airborne particles
will cause filters to become clogged in less time. Please check filters regularly and replace
as needed.

is clean.
• Clicking or ticking sounds may be audible when the unit is gen-
erating ions.
A clicking or ticking sound is
heard from the unit.
• Check to see if the filters are heavily soiled.
Replace the filters.
• Plasmacluster Air Purifiers emit small traces of ozone which
may produce an odour. These ozone emissions are well below
safety levels .
The discharged air has an aroma
or odour.
• Is the unit installed in a location that is difficult for the sensor to
detect cigarette smoke?
• Are the dust or odour sensor openings blocked or clogged?
(In this case, clean the openings.) (Refer to E-10)
The unit does not operate when
cigarette smoke is in the air.
• Check to see if the Lights OFF Mode is selected. If so, then
press the Light Control Button to activate the indicator lights.
