AIR INFO SETTINGS

The built-in sensor detects your air purification status to give you real-time information. Use the AIR INFO button to switch between air status display options.

the air purification status rating:

• Poor: 0%–69%
• Fair: 70%–84%
• Good: 85%–100%

% STATUS uses particulate matter (PM) air purification standards as determined by the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) to calculate the status rating.

PARTICLE SIZES|  | The PM (particulate matter) value is the amount of particulate in your air, measured in micrograms (μg) per cubic metre. Your air purifier measures three particle sizes, PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.
PM1| | Displays the number of PM1-sized particles in your air, including ultra-fine allergens.
PM2.5| | Displays the number of PM2.5-sized particles in your air, including smoke.
PM10| | Displays the number of PM10-sized particles in your air, including dust, and pollen.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR AIR QUALITY

The rings on the front display will change colour as your air purification status changes, allowing you to easily monitor the purification even when the air purifier is across the room.

• A blue ring means your air purification status is good, with a low level of particle concentration.
  

• An amber ring means your air purification status is fair, with a moderate level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.
  

• A red ring means your air purification status is poor, with a high level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.
  

Note: The air purification status sensor uses a cumulative particle count across all particle sizes to determine air purification status.

OPTIMISING FAN SPEED

Your air purifier is equipped with 5 fan speed settings. Adjust fan speed to Optimise your cleaning performance.

| AUTO| Optimizing HEPA filter life
1-2| Quiet operation
3-4| Reducing odours.
5 (MAX)| Maximum purification and debris capture.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Product| What are the recommended settings?| We recommend using this air purifier in Auto Mode. Auto Mode leverages your air purifier’s particle sensor, and this adjusts the fan speed automatically. Higher fan speeds work best for reducing odours and capturing debris most effectively
---|---|---
Where should I set up my air purifier?| We recommend setting up the air purifier in the room of your home where there is the most activity. This will help to clear the air of pollutants and odours as they are introduced.
What is Eco mode?| If 100% status is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your air purifier will enter Eco Mode. The fan will turn off until a significant number of particles are detected, optimizing your HEPA filter’s life.
Can I mute the air purifier, so it doesn’t beep when pressing the buttons?| To turn off notification sounds, press and hold the Air Info and Child Lock buttons at the same time for two seconds. To reactivate sounds, press and hold both buttons for 2 seconds again.
Why are the top control panel buttons not working?| Your air purifier may have the child lock setting activated. Press and hold the Child Lock button for two seconds to turn this setting on or off.
Air Quality| Why is my air purification status always at 100%?| If your air purifier displays a blue ring, your air purification status is good. However, air purification status will fluctuate as you introduce pollutants into your home. Activities like smoking, cooking, dusting, or spraying cleaning products (among other things) can add pollutants to your air. Our Auto IQ technology tracks this fluctuation in real time and adjusts as it detects particles. To determine if the sensor is working correctly, spray a small amount of perfume or aerosol cleaning product near the sensor on the back of the air purifier. Please visit sharkclean.eu for more information.
Why is my air purification status never at 100%?| If your air purification status never reaches 100%, make sure that the HEPA filter is properly installed and that its original plastic packaging has been removed. Activities like smoking, burning candles, running a humidifier, opening windows, and cooking (among other things) can add more pollutants to your air. Make sure to survey your environment and remove anything that could be causing low air purification status. We also recommend turning off the unit and unplugging. Then locating the air status sensor on the back side of the air purifier and using a hand vacuum hose with attachment to clean the area around the air status sensor.
Mesh Dust Filter| What are these filters on both sides of the air purifier for?| These easy-to-clean mesh dust filters capture large debris like hair, dust, and lint to protect the 3-layer HEPA filter. Maintenance is required on these mesh dust filters when indicated on the front display. Refer to the Mesh Dust Filter Maintenance section for more information.
How do I know when to clean these 2 filters?| When the mesh dust filters need maintenance, the front display will show a pulsing red ring along with the text “check dust filters.” Refer to the Mesh Dust Filter Maintenance section for more information.
HEPA Filter| Can I wash the HEPA filter?| No, the HEPA filter is not washable. Keep filter away from water

MESH DUST FILTER MAINTENANCE

Checking the Mesh Dust Filters:

When the mesh dust filters need maintenance, the front display will show the following screen with a pulsing red ring:

Cleaning the Mesh Dust Filters:

When the Check Dust Filters message appears on the front display, remove the dust filters and inspect them for debris.
If maintenance is required, be sure to KEEP THE AIR PURIFIER PLUGGED IN and running, and complete the following steps:

1. LOCATE AND REMOVE MESH DUST FILTERS
   Gently slide up the filters to remove them. Check the screens for dust and debris buildup.
   

2. CLEAN DUST FILTERS
   Use a vacuum cleaner on low power with a soft brush attachment OR a cloth/towel to remove debris from the mesh screens.
   DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners.
   

3. ADDITIONAL CLEANING (NOT REQUIRED)
   If additional cleaning is required, switch off the air purifier and rinse the mesh dust filters with room temperature tap water.
   Be sure to completely dry the screens for 12 hours before reinstalling.
   DO NOT USE the air purifier when mesh filters are wet.
   

4. REINSTALL MESH DUST FILTERS
   Ensure that the air purifier is switched on and gently reinsert the mesh dust filters into the slots on the sides. Be sure to push each dust filter into place until it is flush with the air purifier body.
   

5. RECALIBRATION
   Once both mesh dust filters have been cleaned and reinstalled, the air purifier will recalibrate and begin to analyse air purification status, indicated by the rotating lights.
   

Note: To manually reset the Check Dust Filters indicator, press and hold the filter icon on the top control panel for 1-2 seconds.

Note: The HEPA Filter Technology allows up to 5 years of use out of a single HEPA filter.
Tested to GB/T18801-2015 P.CCM, based on 50% CADR decline, 28m2 cleaning area and 12 hours daily operation on MAX fan speed.

MAINTAINING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

NOTE: Unplug the air purifier whenever doing any cleaning or maintenance (other than checking the mesh dust filters.)

Exterior Cleaning:

For best results, clean the exterior every two months or as needed.
Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Avoid excess water and abrasive chemical cleaners to prevent damage.

Interior Cleaning:

For best results, clean the interior of the air purifier every two months or as needed. Remove the filter door, take out the HEPA filter, and use a vacuum cleaner or a microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris from the interior. DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners or water on the inside of the air purifier.

ANTI-ODOUR TECHNOLOGY

LOW
Rotate the dial to the Low position to decrease intensity to the lowest level when in use.

HIGH
Rotate the dial to the High position to increase intensity to the highest level when in use.
