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 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 power plug when your hands are wet. Do not use this unit near gas appliances or fireplaces. When pouring the water into the Tank, when cleaning the unit and when not using the unit, be sure to unplug the power cord. 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. When carrying the Main Unit, please remove the Tank and MIST Tray and hold the Handles on both sides. Do not drink in jest the water in the MIST Tray or Tank. It may cause illness. Change the Tank water every day with fresh tap water. Keep inside the Tank clean. (See Tank maintenance E-12) Leaving water in the Tank will result in mold, bacteria, and bad odours. In rare cases, this bacteria cause harmful physical effects. When not in use, dispose the water in the Tank and MIST Tray. Leaving water in the Tank and MIST Tray will cause mold and bacteria.
NOTE - Radio or TV Intreference
If this air purifier 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 connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
Do not block the intake and 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 handles on both sides 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 does it 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. The frequency of maintenance (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impurities of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2m away from equipments 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. (Use under appropriate conditions between 5 and 35C 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. When placing the unit on an uneven surface, the water may leak from the Tank. 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 ceiling and 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.
Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through a Washable Active Carbon Filter (deodorization filter) and a HEPA Filter (dust collection filter) inside of the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet. The air purifier unit repeats this process by moving its internal fan. As air passes through, a new HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles, of as small as 0.3 microns. The Washable Active Carbon Filter gradually absorbs odour elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter. (Odour elements are absorbed by HEPA Filter as well.) Some odour ingredients absorbed by the filters may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition significantly more severe than household use, this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, then the filters are fully expended and it is necessary to purchase the optional replacement filter.

The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the odour sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odour. (for example, odours from construction materials and pet odours). It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.

SYMPTOM

Odours and smoke are not removed. The CLEAN-SIGN Light illuminates green even when the air is impure. The CLEAN-SIGN Light illuminates orange or red even when the air is clean. A clicking or ticking sound is heard from the unit. The discharged air has an aroma or odour.
REMEDY (not a malfunction)
Clean or replace the filters if they appear to be heavily soiled. (Refer to E-17,E-20) The air could be impure at the time the unit was plugged in. (Refer to E-8) Pull out the plug from the electrical outlet, and insert the plug one minute later. The sensitivity of the sensors become unstable when the opening of the odour sensor or dust sensor is dirty or is clogged. Clean the dust around the sensor opening using a vacuum cleaner. (Refer to E-16) Clicking sound or ticking sound is emitted when the unit is generating ions.
The MIST Filter Indicator Light remains activated even after replacing filter. The Plasmacluster Indicator Light or the CLEAN-SIGN Light will not activate. Plasmacluster Indicator Light repeat colour cycles between light and shade. The Mist Filter Indicator Light does not turn on even water is in. When the water of the tank does not decrease or the decrease of the water is slow. The CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT switches frequently.
After replacing filters, connect the power cord to an outlet and press the Mist Filter Reset Button. (Refer to E-19) Check to see if the Lights OFF Mode selected. If so, then press the Plasmacluster ON/OFF Button for 3 seconds to activate the indicator lights. (Refer to E-15) The ION SHOWER operation is working. Please check if the impurities adhered to the surface of the Float. Clean the Mist Tray. Check to see if the Main Unit is put on a inclined surface. Check to see if the Mist Tray and Tank are installed correctly. Check the Mist Filter. Replace the filter when it is heavily soiled. (Refer to E-19,20) The CLEAN-SIGN Light will automatically switches the colours when detected by dust and odour sensors.

Contact the nearest Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs. When carrying the Main Unit, please remove the Tank and MIST Tray and hold the Handles on both sides. Do not drink in jest the water in the MIST Tray or Tank. It may cause illness. Change the Tank water every day with fresh tap water. Keep inside the Tank clean. (See Tank maintenance E-12) Leaving water in the Tank will result in mold, bacteria, and bad odours. In rare cases, this bacteria cause harmful physical effects. When not in use, dispose the water in the Tank and MIST Tray. Leaving water in the Tank and MIST Tray will cause mold and bacteria.
NOTE - Radio or TV Intreference
If this air purifier 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 connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
Do not block the intake and 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 handles on both sides 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 does it 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. The frequency of maintenance (descaling) will depend on the hardness or the impurities of the water that you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2m away from equipments 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. (Use under appropriate conditions between 5 and 35C 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. When placing the unit on an uneven surface, the water may leak from the Tank. 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 ceiling and 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.
Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through a Washable Active Carbon Filter (deodorization filter) and a HEPA Filter (dust collection filter) inside of the unit, then discharges the air from its air outlet. The air purifier unit repeats this process by moving its internal fan. As air passes through, a new HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles, of as small as 0.3 microns. The Washable Active Carbon Filter gradually absorbs odour elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter. (Odour elements are absorbed by HEPA Filter as well.) Some odour ingredients absorbed by the filters may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition significantly more severe than household use, this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, then the filters are fully expended and it is necessary to purchase the optional replacement filter.
The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odour, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the odour sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odour. (for example, odours from construction materials and pet odours). It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for repair, please review the list below, since the problem may not be a unit malfunction.

SYMPTOM

Odours and smoke are not removed. The CLEAN-SIGN Light illuminates green even when the air is impure. The CLEAN-SIGN Light illuminates orange or red even when the air is clean. A clicking or ticking sound is heard from the unit. The discharged air has an aroma or odour.
REMEDY (not a malfunction)
Clean or replace the filters if they appear to be heavily soiled. (Refer to E-17,E-20) The air could be impure at the time the unit was plugged in. (Refer to E-8) Pull out the plug from the electrical outlet, and insert the plug one minute later. The sensitivity of the sensors become unstable when the opening of the odour sensor or dust sensor is dirty or is clogged. Clean the dust around the sensor opening using a vacuum cleaner. (Refer to E-16) Clicking sound or ticking sound is emitted when the unit is generating ions.
The MIST Filter Indicator Light remains activated even after replacing filter. The Plasmacluster Indicator Light or the CLEAN-SIGN Light will not activate. Plasmacluster Indicator Light repeat colour cycles between light and shade. The Mist Filter Indicator Light does not turn on even water is in. When the water of the tank does not decrease or the decrease of the water is slow. The CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT switches frequently.
After replacing filters, connect the power cord to an outlet and press the Mist Filter Reset Button. (Refer to E-19) Check to see if the Lights OFF Mode selected. If so, then press the Plasmacluster ON/OFF Button for 3 seconds to activate the indicator lights. (Refer to E-15) The ION SHOWER operation is working. Please check if the impurities adhered to the surface of the Float. Clean the Mist Tray. Check to see if the Main Unit is put on a inclined surface. Check to see if the Mist Tray and Tank are installed correctly. Check the Mist Filter. Replace the filter when it is heavily soiled. (Refer to E-19,20) The CLEAN-SIGN Light will automatically switches the colours when detected by dust and odour sensors.
The unit does not operate when cigarette smoke is in the air.
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-16) (Care Cycle : MIST Filter : 1 month)
