“Plasmacluster” and “Device of a cluster of grapes” are

trademarks of Sharp Corporation.

*The number in this technology mark indicates an

approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3,

which is measured around the center of a room with

the “high-density plasmacluster 7000” applicable oor

area (at 1.2 m height above the oor) at the medium

wind volume in air purifying mode, when 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 corresponding to this capacity.

HEPA Filter

Deodorizing Filter

Back Panel

NOTE

The air purier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a Back

Panel, a Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air

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 may break down over time, resulting in additional

odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in

extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this

odor may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the

lters should be replaced.

• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for ex-

ample, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the source of the odor still exists, the air

purier may not completely remove the odor.

Please read before operating your new Air Purier

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.

• Do not use without the lters inside the unit.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA lter and the deodorizing lter.

Not only does it not improve lter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

•When using the unit, place it away from equipment utilizing electric waves such as

televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.

• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact

with and restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.

• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic

temperature changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is

between 0 – 35 ºC.

• Place on a stable surface with sufcient air circulation.

When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.

• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.

The unit surface may crack as a result.

•Place the unit about 30 cm(1 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper

airow.

The dust collecting performance will be the same even if using the unit 3cm away from

the wall, but place it as far as possible(30cm away recommended) because it may dirty

the wall or oor around.

FILTER GUIDELINES

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