Please read before operating your new Air Purier
Some odour ingredients absorbed by the lter may become separated and
may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odour. De-
pending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in
a condition signicantly more severe than household use, this odour may
become strong in a shorter period than expected.
In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement lter.
NOTE
• The air purier 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.

CONTENTS
FEATURES
Plasmacluster technology uses plas-
ma discharge to produce and release
the same positive and negative ions
as those found in nature ("Plasma-
cluster ions").
This is a unique air cleaning technol-
ogy of the SHARP CORPORATION
for breaking down and inactivating
such potential allergens as the faecal
matter or corpses of aerial mites*1,
viruses*2and mould and bacteria*3
suspended in the air, and has been
substantiated by third-party organisa-
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 removed in about 80 min-
utes*4, 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).

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, re 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 ngers or foreign objects into the air intake or outlet.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.
Electrical shock and/or re 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 replaces.
• 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 re 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 qualied 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 Centres should service this air purier. Contact your nearest Ap-
proved 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.
NOTE - Radio or TV Interference
If this air purier 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.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION
• Do not block the air intake and/or 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 turned on.
• 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 personal injury.
• Do not operate the unit without the lter.
• Do not wash and reuse the lter .
Not only does it not improve lter performance, but also may cause electrical shock or malfunction.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
Otherwise the unit surface may get damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• During operation, 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 air intake or outlet.
Curtains, etc., may become dirty or a until 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 sufcient air circulation.
When placing the unit on a thick 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 an ex-
tended period of time in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becom-
ing dirty. In addition, periodically clean the wall.
FILTER GUIDELINES
• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the lter.
Use only lter designed for this product.

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

Before calling for repair, please review the list below, since the problem may not be a unit malfunction.
SYMPTOM REMEDY (not a malfunction)
Odours and smoke are not
removed.
• Clean or replace the lter if they appear to be heavily soiled.
(Refer to E-9,E-10)
A clicking or ticking sound is
heard from the unit.
• Clicking or ticking sounds may be audible when the unit is gen-
erating ions.
The discharged air has an odour. • Check to see if the lter are heavily soiled.
Replace the lter.
• Plasmacluster Air Purifiers emit small traces of ozone which
may produce an odour. These ozone emissions are well below
safety levels.
