SHARP FP-J30J Air Purifier Instruction Manual

SHARP FP-J30J Air Purifier Instruction Manual

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 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 helps 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.

NOTE

• The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and the 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.

This appliance is intended for indoor domestic use only.

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

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances, including the following:

WARNING – Always observe the following to reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or injury:

• Read all instructions before using the main unit.
• Use only a 220 – 240 volt outlet.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a Sharp authorized Service Center or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact the nearest Service Center for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• Do not repair or disassemble the main unit yourself.
• Be sure to remove the power plug, before performing maintenance, when removing and attaching and replacing the filter and when not using for a long time. Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or fire.
• Do not use the main unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or if the connection to the wall outlet is loose.
• Periodically remove dust from the plug.
• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the air inlet or air outlet.
• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull on the cord. Failure to do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electrical shock or fire.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord. Failure to do so can cause electric shock, heat generation, or fire.
• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not use this main unit near gas appliances or fireplaces. When the main unit is operated with gas appliances in same room, Ventilate a room periodically, otherwise it may cause Carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not operate the main unit in rooms where aerosol insecticides are present. Do not operate the main unit in rooms where there is oily residue, incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, or chemical fumes in the air.
• Keep the main unit away from water. Do not operate the main unit in places where it may get wet, such as a bathroom.
• Do not expose the main unit to water. Doing so can cause a short circuit or electrical shock.
• Be cautious when cleaning the main unit. Strong corrosive cleansers can damage the exterior.

NOTE – What to do if the main unit interferes with radio or TV reception

If the air purifier interferes with radio or television reception, try one or more of the following measures:

• Adjust or reposition the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the main unit 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 main unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters, or where it may come into contact with steam.

• Always operate the main unit in an upright position.

• Do not move the main unit when it is in operation.

• When moving the main unit, use the handle on the back of the main unit.

• If the main unit is on easily damaged flooring, an uneven surface, or thick-piled carpet, lift it up when moving.

• Do not operate the main unit without the filters properly installed.

• Do not wash and reuse the HEPA filter and the Deodorizing 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 main unit surface may be damaged or cracked with Benzine, paint thinner or polishing powder.

• Do not scrub the Back Panel hard during its maintenance.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or other objects can come in contact with the main unit and interfere with the intake and outtake of air.
• Avoid locations where the main unit is exposed to condensation or drastic changes in temperature. Appropriate room temperature is between 0 – 35 ºC.
• Place the main unit on a level and stable surface with sufficient air circulation. When placed on heavy carpet, the main unit may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations that generate grease or oily smoke. Doing so can cause the main unit exterior to crack.
• The dust collecting ability of the main unit is effective even when the main unit is as close to 3 cm from the wall,the surrounding walls and floor may get dirty. Please place the main unit at a distance from the wall. The wall directly behind the air outlet may become dirty over time. When using the main unit for an extended period of time at the same location, periodically clean the walls adjacent to it.

FILTER GUIDELINES

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