Free standing type

FP-F30J AIR PURIFIER

OPERATION MANUAL

“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.

OM_FP-F30J.indd 1 2017/01/17 13:21:44

Please read before operating your new Air Purier

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

Filter, 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.

Some odors absorbed by the lter may break down over time, resulting in additional

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

extreme environments (signicantly more severe than normal household use), this

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

lter should be replaced.

NOTE

• The air purier is designed to remove air-suspended dust, but not harmful gases

(for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 intake or air 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.

•Be careful not to damage the power cord, it may cause electric shock, excess heat or

res.

• 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.

•When cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use, be sure to unplug the unit. Electrical

shock and/or re from a short circuit may 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 a Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purier. Contact the

nearest Service Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe

way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

NOTE - Radio or TV Interference

If this air purier 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 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/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 lter inside the unit.

•Do not wash and reuse the HEPA 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.

FILTER REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES

Do not wash and reuse the lter

The lter life and replacement period are based on the condition of smoking 5 cigarettes per

day and the dust collection power is reduced by half compared with that of new lter.

Filter life varies depending on the room environment, usage, and location of the unit.

We recommend to replace the lter more frequently if the product is used in a condition signif-

icantly severer than normal household use.

Before calling for service, please review the Troubleshooting list below, since the problem may not

be a unit malfunction.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM REMEDY (not a malfunction)

Dust and smoke are not removed. •Clean or replace the filter if they appear to be heavily

soiled.(Ref. E-8,E-9)

A clicking or ticking sound is heard

from the unit.

• Clicking or ticking sound may be audible when the unit

is generating ions.

The discharged air has an odor. •Check to see if the lter are heavily soiled.

Replace the lter.

•Plasmacluster Air Purifiers emit small traces of ozone

which may produce an odor. These ozone emissions

are well below safety levels.

The Plasmacluster Ion Indicator

doesn’t Light on.

•Check to see if the SLEEP mode is selected.

The Plasmacluster Ion Indicator Light is turned off

3 seconds after the SLEEP mode is selected.

•Check to see if the Plasmacluster Ion OFF is selected.

Press to light on.

•Check to see if the Light Control is selected.

Press for 3 seconds to light on.
