* The number in this technology mark indicates an approximate number of ions supplied into the air of 1 cm  3, which is measured around the center 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.

A unique combination of Air Treatment Technologies
Triple Filteration System + Plasmacluster

High-Density Plasmacluster 25000
The higher the PCI density is, the more effective PCI has.

Triple Filtration System
TRAP DUST
Pre-filter traps dust larger than approx 240-micron particles.
DECREASES ODOURS
Deodorizing filter absorbs many common household odors.
REDUCES TINY DUST, POLLEN & MOLD
HEPA filter traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

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.

Plasmacluster
By emitting a balance of positive and negative ions, Plasmacluster air treatment is a natural process.
PM2.5 Monitor

• Inform by lighting PM2.5 monitor when Sensitive Dust sensor detects microscopic dust.
• Display the value of PM2.5 in 3 digits.

Plasmacluster Ion Spot Mode

• Recommended when odor and germs adhering to sofa and curtains are concerned.
• Emits high-density Plasmacluster Ions only in the forward directions.

Thank you for purchasing this SHARP Air Purifier.
Please read this manual carefully before using the product.
This manual should be kept in a safe place for handy reference.

Please read before operating your new Air Purifier

The air purifier draws in room air through the air intake, circulates it through a PreFilter, a Deodorizing Filter, and a HEPA
Filter inside the main unit, 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 help absorb odors.
The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the filter.Some odors absorbed by the filters will break down over time, causing additional odors.
Depending on usage conditions, and especially if the main unit is used in environments significantly more severe than a normal household, these odors may become noticeable sooner than expected. If these odors persist, replace the filters. (page 11)

NOTE

• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odors.
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 odor if the source of the odor is still present.
