This is a unique air cleaning technolo-
gy of the SHARP CORPORATION for
breaking down and inactivating such
potential allergens as the fecal 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.

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 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 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 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.
E-2
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 both sides of the unit when moving it.
Holding the back 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 the filter .
Not only does it not improve filter performance, but also may cause electrical 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
utilizing electrical waves such as televisions, radios or wave clocks.
• 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 rapid temperature
changes.
(If it is unavoidable please allow unit to stand for 1 hour before switching on.)
(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 a possibility of soot, such as in a kitchen, etc.
The unit surface may crack 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 filter.
Use only filter designed for this product.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FILTER REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Filter life vary depending on the room environment, usage, and location
of the unit.
If dust or odour persists, replace the filter.
(Refer to “Please read before operating your new Air Purifier”)
Guide for filter replacement timing
• The following filter life and replacement period is based on the condition of smoking 5
cigarettes per day and the dust collection/deodorization power is reduced by half compared
with that of new filter.
We recommend to replace the filter more frequently if the product is used in a condition sig-
nificantly severer than normal household use.
• Filter

erating Plasumacluster ions.
A clicking or ticking sound
is heard from the unit.
• Check to see if the filter are heavily soiled.
• Clean or replace the filter.
