PRE-FILTER AUTO CLEANING (Only UA-KIL80E)

Removing dusts trapped and held on

the Pre-Filter by the auto cleaning

unit will help in prevent impairing

the efficiency of the dust collecting

performance.

FEATURES

Unique Combination of Air Treatment Technologies

“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 centre

of a room applicable floor area (at 1.2 m height

above the floor) when the product is placed

close to a wall at the MED mode setting.

* The illustration in this instruction manual is UA-KIL80E.

Throw away dusts

in the Dust Box

approximately every six

months.

Plasmacluster

Plasmacluster treats the air similar to

the way nature cleans the environment

by emitting a balance of positive and

negative ions.

Triple Filteration System + Humidification

Pre-Filter

Pre-filter traps dust larger than approx 240 micron particles.

Deodorizing Filter

Deodorizing filter absorbs many common household odours.

HEPA Filter

HEPA filter traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Humidifying Function

Comfortable Humidity Indoors Keeps Your Skin and Throat

Moisturized and Healthy.

HEPA Filter

Deodorizing Filter

Pre-Filter

Unique Airflow

Powerful air suction and unique airflow quickly and efficiently collect dust and other particles.

Faster airflow at a 20º angle collects dust at

lower levels in the room for more effective

cleaning.

Plasmacluster can remove static electricity

and can thus prevent dust from attaching to

walls and other surfaces.

ENGLISH

NOTE

The air purifier draws in room air through the Air Inlet, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a

Deodorizing Filter and a HEPA Filter inside the product, and then discharges it through the Air

Outlet. The HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass

through the filter and also helps absorb odours.

The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odours as they pass through the filter.

Some odours absorbed by the filters will break down over time, causing additional odours.

Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the product is used in environments

significantly more severe than a normal household, these odours may become noticeable

sooner than expected. If these odours persist, replace the filters.

When minerals in tap water adhere to the filters and become a hard and white, they absorb

odours in the room that can cause the emission of an unpleasant odour when the Humidifying

Filter is dry. (Varies depending on water quality and other environmental factors)

If this occurs, perform the Humidifying Filter maintenance. (Page 15)

• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the odours.

The air purifier is not designed to remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke.

The air purifier may not completely remove an odour if the source of the odour is still present.
