SHARP UA-PG50E-W Air Purifier Instruction Manual

SHARP UA-PG50E-W Air Purifier

“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 cm?
which is measured around the centre 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.

Free standing type

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 Deodorizing Filter and 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 odours as they pass through the filter.

Some odours absorbed by the filters may break down over time, resulting in additional odour. Depending on the usage environment, especially when the product is used in extreme environments (significantly more severe than normal household use), this odour may become strong in a shorter period than expected. If the odour persists, the filters should be replaced.

NOTE
Tor example, cig des monotone contained in cigarete dunked odour, but not harmful gases.

OVERVIEW

FEATURES

Unique Combination of Air Treatment

• Technologies
  Triple Filtration System + Plasmacluster lons

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

• REDUCES ODOURS
  Deodorizing filter absorbs many common household odours.

• **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.
Sensor Technology continuously monitors air quality, and automatically adjusting airflow based on detected air purity.
