HOW SHARP AIR PURIFIER WORKS
An air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through
a Washable Active Carbon Filter (deodorization filter) and a True HEPA Fil-
ter (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, the True HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust
particles, of as small as 0.3 microns. The Washable Active Carbon Filter
gradually absorbs odor elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter.
(Odor elements are absorbed by True HEPA Filter as well.)
Some odor ingredients absorbed by the filters may become separated and
may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odor. De-
pending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a
condition significantly severer than household use, this odor may become
strong in a shorter period than expected. In this case, clean the Washable
Active Carbon Filter. (Refer to E-16)
If the odor persists, this is because the odor components absorbed by the
HEPAFilter have come off the filter. Purchase the optional filter FZ-N60HFU
and replace the original filters.

FEATURES
Plasmacluster Ion Control
Theunit controls theratioofnegativeions
and positive ions depending on the con-
dition of the room.
•Clean Mode
Approximatelythesame numbersofposi-
tive and negative ions are discharged.
•Ion Control Mode
Plenty of negative ions exist in natural
surroundingssuchaswaterfallsorforests.
In this mode, negative ions will be re-
leased in an increased rate, in order to
bring the room air close to this natural
environment.
•AUTO Plasmacluster Ion Mode
The unit will switch between Clean Mode
and Ion Control Mode automatically de-
pendingonthe amountofimpurities inthe
airdetectedby the dustandodor sensors.
•Filters
1) Pre-Filter
It collects large particles.
2) Washable Active Carbon Filter
Its deodorizing performance can be
maintained by washing.
3) True HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) Filter with anti-
bacterial Apatite Filter
High-efficiency particle collection in-
cluding pollen and dust.

CAUTION
•The wet filter is heavy. Fix it securely for drying to make
sure it does not fall down.
•The filter takes longer to dry in winter, on rainy days.
Wash it on a day when the weather is good and dry it in
the sun.
Move it indoors at night to prevent freezing.
•Dry the filter outdoors in a well ventilated area. If dried
indoors, the water dripping off the filter may soil your
floor.
•Make sure that the activated carbon has not shifted to
one side inside the filter. If it has, distribute it evenly with
your fingers.
•Let the filter dry thoroughly.
If used while the filter is still moist, then the air that is
exhausted from the main unit will have an odor. It may
take 1 or 2 days to dry.

FILTER REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Depending on the usage environment, air outlet odor may become strong
after several months.
If dust or odors cannot be removed easily, replace the filters.
(Refer to HOW SHARPAIR PURIFIER WORKS)
Guide for filter replacement timing
•The following filter life and replacement period is based on the condition of smoking 10 ciga-
rettes per day and the dust collection/deodorization power is reduced being half compared
with that of new filters.
The replacement period differs depending on the usage hours and location of installation.
We recommend to replace the filters more frequently if the product is used in a condition
significantly severer than normal household use.
•True HEPA Filter About 5 years after opening
•Washable Active Carbon Filter About 5 years after opening
