							     Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from its air intake, lets the air pass through a
Active Carbon Filter (deodorization filter) and a HEPA Filter (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, a new HEPA Filter can remove 99.97% of dust parti-
cles, of as small as 0.3 microns. The Active Carbon Filter gradually absorbs
odour elements as they repeatedly pass through the filter. (Odour elements
are absorbed by HEPA Filter as well.)
Some odour ingredients absorbed by the filters 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 significantly more severe than household use, this odour may be-
come strong in a shorter period than expected.
If the odour persists, then the filters are fully expended and it is necessary to
purchase the optional replacement filter.
NOTE
•The air purifier 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
New ION SHOWER Operation Mode
releases the concentrated Plasmacluster
Ions, and effectively removes the pollen
and mold, and also controls the activity of
airborne virus, mold, and allergen.
Plasmacluster Ion Control
Your new air purifier will control the ratio
of negative ions and positive ions de-
pending on the condition of the room.
•Clean Mode
Approximately the same numbers of
positive and negative ions are dis-
charged.
•AUTO Plasmacluster Ion
Mode
The unit will switch between Clean Mode
and Ion Control  Mode*  automatically
depending on the amount of impurities
in the air detected by the odour and dust
sensors.
*Ion Control Mode
Negative ions will be released in an
increased rate and controls the ion
balance.
•Filters
1) Washable Active Carbon Filter
Absorbs odour elements.
Washable to maintain optimum
deodorization performance.
2)HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) Filter with
Microbial Control
High-efficiency particle collection in-
cluding pollen and dust.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons:
•Read all instructions before using the air purifier.
•Use only a 220 volt outlet with a polarized receptacle.
•Do not use the air purifier 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 fingers 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 fire from short circuit may occur as a  result.
•Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
•Do not use this air purifier near gas appliances or fireplaces.
•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 fire 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 authorized 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 condition, such as a
bathroom.
•Be cautious when cleaning the air purifier. Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
•Only Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Service
Centre for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
NOTE - Radio or TV Interference
If this air purifier 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 distance between the air purifier 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 intake and 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.
Holding the front panel when carrying may cause it to detach, thus dropping the unit and resulting in
bodily injury.
•Do not operate the unit without the filter.
•Do not wash and reuse HEPA filter .
It not only does not improve filter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.
•Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only.
The unit surface may be damaged or cracked.
In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•During the operation of the product, please place the unit at least 2m away from equipments
which involve electric wave such as televisions, radios or wave clocks, in case electrical
interference occurs to such equipment.
•Avoid a location where the sensor is exposed to direct wind.
The unit may not operate properly.
•Avoid locations where curtains, etc., come into contact with the intake or air outlet.
Curtains, etc., may become dirty or a malfunction may occur.
•Avoid locations where the unit is exposed to condensation, due to drastic temperature changes.
(Use under appropriate conditions between 0 and 35˚C in the room.)
•Place on a stable surface with sufficient air circulation.
When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, it may cause the unit to vibrate slightly.
•Do not install when there is generation of lampblack, such as in a kitchen, etc.
The unit surface may crack or the sensor may malfunction 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  extended
period of time  in the same location, use a vinyl sheet, etc., to prevent the wall from becoming dirty. In
addition, periodically clean the wall.
FILTER GUIDELINES
•Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the filters.

BACK
Blue light
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in Clean Mode, or in AUTO Plasmaclus-
ter Ion Mode and the air in the room is impure, the light will be activated and the
unit will operate in Clean Mode.
Green light
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in the Ion Control  Mode during AUTO
Plasmacluster Ion Mode and the air in the room is clean, this light will be activated
and the unit will operate in Ion Control Mode.
Cycles of blue and green
When the Plasmacluster ion operation is in the ION SHOWER Mode ,
Plasmacluster Indicator Light will repeat its colour cycles between blue and green.
The colour changes according to
the air condition.
ABOUT THE CLEAN-SIGN
•The condition of the CLEAN-SIGN depends on the room air condition detected
by the Dust and Odour Sensors when the plug is inserted into the wall outlet.
•It is possible to have a green CLEAN-SIGN with impurities in the air at the time
that the air purifier was just introduced to the room environment. After a while,
however, the base impurity rate will be adjusted to detect room air condition
correctly.
DETERMINING THE BASE IMPURITY RATE
For the first 30 seconds after the power plug is inserted into the wall outlet, the
unit will check the conditions of the air. If operation is set to ON during this time,
the CLEAN-SIGN LIGHT will alternately flash in green, yellow and red.
