SHARP FP-A80M Portable Room Air Purifier User Manual

Please read before operating your new Air Purifier

Some odor ingredients absorbed by the fi lters may become separated and may be discharged through the air outlet and result in additional odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in a condition significantly more severe than household use, this odor may become strong in a shorter period than expected.
The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke). If the odor sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odor (for example, odors from construction materials and pet odors).
It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.
In this case we recommend purchasing the optional replacement.

Dust
pollen, dust, particles of cigarette smoke, pet dander
Odor
cigarette smoke odor,household odor.

FEATURES

Exclusive Combination of Air Treatment Technologies Filtration System + Plasmacluster Ion

DECREASES ODORS
Deodorizing Prefilter absorbs many common household odors.

**REDUCES DUST, POLLEN, DANDER & MOLD**
HEPA filter traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

REFRESHES
Plasmacluster refreshes the air similar to the way nature cleans the environment by emitting a balance of positive and negative ions.
*From that air is drawn through the filter system.
Room size : 62m2

• If the product is on easily damaged flooring, an uneven surface, or thickpiled carpet, lift it up when moving.
• Do not operate the product without the filters properly installed.
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA filter and the Deodorizing Pre filter. Doing so will not improve filter performance and can also cause electric shock or operating malfunctions.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only. Do not use volatile fluids or detergents. The product surface maybe damaged or cracked with Benzine paint thinner or polishing powder. In addition, the sensors may malfunction as a result.
• Do not scrub the Back Panel hard during its maintenance.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Avoid locations where the sensors are exposed to direct wind. Doing so can cause the product to malfunction.
• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the product and interfere with the inlet and outlet of air.
• Avoid locations where the product is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
• Place the product on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation. When placed on heavy carpet, the product may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke. Doing so can cause the product exterior to crack and the sensors to malfunction.
• The dust collecting ability of the product is effective even when the product is as close to 3 cm from the wall, the surrounding walls and floor may get dirty. Please place the product at a distance from the wall. The wall directly behind the Air Outlet may become dirty over time.
