IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the  
following:  
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:  
• Read all instructions before using the air purifier.  
• Use only a 120-volt outlet with a polarized receptacle.  
• The air purifier has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is). This plug will fit in a  
polarized outlet only one way. Initially, if the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not  
fit, contact a qualified electrician or service person.  
• Do not use the air purifier if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the wall  
outlet is loose.  
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 result.  
• Do not use this air purifier 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 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.  
Use care when cleaning the air purifier. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.  
Only Sharp Authorized Servicers should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Servicer for any  
problems, adjustments, or repairs.  
The batteries must be removed from the remote control before disposal, and the batteries must be  
disposed of safely.  
NOTE - Radio or TV Intreference  
If this air purifier should does 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 air purifier 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.  
E-6  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION  
• Do not block the intake and air outlet.  
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as range or where it may come into contact with  
steam.  
• Do not use the unit on its side.  
• 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 .  
Not only it 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 sensor may malfunction as a result.  
REMOTE CONTROL LIMITATIONS

The unit may not receive signals from the remote control.  
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES  
• During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 7 feet (2m) away from  
equipment which involve electric wave such as televisions, radios or wave clocks, in case  
electrical interference occurs to such equipments.  
• 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.  
• Place on a stable surface with sufficient air circulation.  
• 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 at least 2 feet (60cm) of space from the wall.  
The wall behind the air outlet may become dirty as time passes. When using the unit for extensive  
period in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In addi-  
tion, periodically clean the wall, etc.

DETERMINING THE BASE IMPURITY RATE  
For the first 30 seconds after the power plug is inserted into the wall outlet,  
the unit will check the conditions of the air. If operation is set to ON during this  
time, the CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT will alternately flash in green, orange and red.  
PLASMACLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHT  
Plasmacluster ion operation is selected using the remote control.  
Blue light  
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in Clean Mode, or in AUTO  
Plasmacluster Ion Mode and the air in the room is impure, the light will  
activate and the unit will operate in Clean Mode.  
Green light  
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in the Ion Control Mode, or in  
AUTO Plasmacluster Ion Mode and the air in the room is clean, this light will  
activate and the unit will operate in Ion Control Mode.  
Light off  
There are no Plasmacluster ions being generated.  
• The light can be turned off by using the ‘Lights ON/OFF Button’ on the  
Remote Control. In this case, Plasmacluster ions are generated.  
(Please turn off the light if desired.) (See Page E-14)  
CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT  
The color changes according to the air condition.  
Clean (Green)  
Slightly Impure (Orange)  
Very Impure (Red)  
ABOUT THE CLEAN-SIGN  
• The condition of the CLEAN-SIGN depends on the room air condition  
detected by the Odor Sensors when the plug is inserted into the wall outlet.  
• 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.  
• Use the Lights ON/OFF Button on the remote control to turn off the Indi-  
cator lights if desired.  
CLEAN FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT  
Clean the Active Carbon Filter when the CLEAN FILTER Indicator Light  
activates.  
(The indicator light will activate in about 2 months, when using the unit 24  
hours daily.) (See Page E-16)

if possible in a well  
ventilated area.  
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!  
Care Cycle  
When the CLEAN FILTER Indicator Light lights  
up, this indicates that the filter needs to be  
cleaned. If the unit is kept on 24 hours a day  
then the Filter Indicator Light will activate in  
about 2 months.  
The CLEAN FILTER Indicator Light is for ref-  
erence. Clean the filter as often as necessary  
when odor persists.  
CAUTION  
• The wet filter is heavy. Fix it securely for  
drying to make sure it does not fall down.  
• The filter takes longer to dry in winter, and  
on rainy days. Wash it on a day when the  
weather is good and dry it in the sun.  
Move it indoors at night to prevent freez-  
ing.  
• Dry the filter outdoors in a well ventilated  
area. If dried indoors, the water dripping off  
the filter may soil your floor.  
Fill a large container with warm  
water, add a mild kitchen deter-  
gent and stir.

Dilute as indicated  
on the detergent  
container.  
• Make sure that the activated carbon has  
not shifted to one side inside the filter. If it  
has, distribute it evenly with your fingers.  
• Let the filter dry thoroughly.  
If used while the filter is still moist, then the  
air that is exhausted from the main unit will  
have an odor. It may take 1 or 2 days to dry.  
Allow the filter to soak approxi-  
mately 30 minutes before wash-  
ing.

The filter will be saturated with water  
after rinsing. To decrease drying time,  
wrap the filter in an old thick towel so  
that excess water can be removed.  
CAUTION  
Some carbon may ad-  
here to the towel, but it  
is harmless.
