SHARP FP-JA30M Portable Room Air Purifier User Manual

SHARP FP-JA30M Portable Room Air Purifier

*The number in this technology mark indicates an approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3, which is measured around the center of a room with the “high-density plasmacluster 7000” applicable floor area (at 1.2 m height above the floor) at the medium wind volume in air purifying mode, when an air purifier using the high-density plasmacluster ion evolving device is placed close to a wall. This product is equipped with a device corresponding to this capacity.

Please read before operating your new Air Purifier
The air purifier draws in room air from the air intake, passes the air through a pre- Filter, a HEPA Filter inside of the unit, then discharges the air 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. The Deodorizing Filter gradually absorbs odors as they pass through the filter. Some odors absorbed by the filter may break down over time, resulting in additional odor. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this odor may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odor persists, the filter should be replaced.

NOTE: The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke).

FEATURES

Unique Combination of Air Treatment Technologies Filtration System + Plasmacluster

**TRAPS DUST***
Pre-filter traps dust and other large airborne particles.

REDUCES ODORS
Deodorizing filter absorbs many common
household odors.
**REDUCES POLLEN & MOLD***
HEPA filter traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

FRESHENS
Plasmacluster treats the air similar to the way nature cleans the environment by emitting a balance of positive and negative ions. *When air is drawn through the filter system.

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 unit.
• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.
• Do not use the unit 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 air 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.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord, it may cause electric shock, excess heat or fires.
• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not use this unit 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.
• When cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use, be sure to unplug the unit. Electrical shock and/or fire from a short circuit may result.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, Sharp Approved Service Center 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 conditions, such as a bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Service Center for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

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 between the unit and radio/TV/wave-clock receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

• Do not block the intake and/or 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.
• Do not use without the filter inside the unit.
• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA filter and the Deodorizing filter. Not only does it not improve filter performance, it may cause electric shock or malfunction.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• When using the unit, place it away from equipment utilizing electric waves such as televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.
• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact with and restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.
• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic temperature changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
• Place on a stable surface with sufficient air circulation. When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated. The unit surface may crack as a result.
• Place the unit about 30 cm(1 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper airflow. The dust collecting performance will be the same even if using the unit 3cm away from the wall, but place it as far as possible(30cm away recommended) because it may dirty the wall or floor around.

FILTER GUIDELINES

• Follow the instructions in this manual for correct care and maintenance of the filter.
