SHARP UA-PN1E Air Purifier User Manual

SHARP UA-PN1E Air Purifier

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.

Plasmacluster
Plasmacluster treats the air similar to the way nature cleans the environment by emitting a balance of positive and negative ions. “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 on the floor and is operating with MAX mode.

Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air through the Air Inlet, circulates it through a Pre-Filter, a Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated Filter inside the product, and then discharges it through the Air Outlet. The Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated Filter can remove dust particles and absorb 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.

NOTE: 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.

• Adjust or reposition the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the product and the radio or TV.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the radio or TV receiver.
• Consult the dealer or a qualified radio or TV technician.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

• Do not block the Air Inlet or Air Outlet.
• Do not place the product near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into contact with steam.
• Always operate the product in an upright position.
• Do not move the product when it is in operation.
• If the product is on easily damaged flooring, an uneven surface, or thick-piled carpet, lift it up when moving.
• Do not operate the product without the filters properly installed.
• Do not wash and reuse the Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated 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 may be damaged or cracked with Benzine paint thinner, alcohol or polishing powder.
• Do not scrub the Pre-Filter hard during its maintenance.
• Do not use the AC adapter for other products.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the product and interfere with the Air Inlet and Air Outlet.
• 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. Place the product in the centre of the room for better air circulation. When placed on heavy carpet, the product may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations with grease, oil smoke, alcohol, hypochlorous acid, or chemicals in the air. Doing so can cause the product exterior to crack.
• The surrounding walls and floor of the product may become dirty over time. When using the product for an extended period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls and floor adjacent to it.
• Do not use fluororesin or silicone-containing products (cosmetics, hair care products, etc.,) near the product. The fluororesin or silicone could get stuck inside the product, preventing it from producing Plasmacluster ions.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAIN BODY

Wipe with a dry, soft cloth.

AIR INLET / PRE-FILTER

Remove the dust gently with a cleaning tool such as a vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: About Pre-Filter

• Do not apply excessive pressure when scrubbing the Pre-Filter.
• How to clean hard to remove dirt.

1. Add a small amount of kitchen detergent to water and soak for about 10 minutes.
2. Rinse off the kitchen detergent with clean water.
3. Completely dry the filter in a well-ventilated area.

Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated Filter

Remove the dust on the filter. Clean only the tagged surface. Do not clean up the opposite surface. The filter is fragile, so be careful not to give too much pressure.

NOTE

• Do not wash the filter. Do not expose to sunlight. (Otherwise these filter may lose efficacy.)
• Some odours absorbed by the filter 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. Replace the filter in those cases or if dust is unable to be removed after maintenance.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

LIFE OF FILTER

Filter life varies depending on the room environment, usage conditions, and location of the product. Lifespan of the Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated Filter and replacement suggestions are based on purifying a room in which 5 cigarettes are smoked per day and the product’s dust collection and deodorizing performance has declined to half the level of a new filter.

We recommend replacing the filter more frequently if the product is used in conditions significantly more severe (PM2.5 etc.,) than a normal household. The life of the Dust Collection and Deodorizing Integrated Filter is about 1 year after opening.

TROUBLESHOOTING
