IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances, including the following:
WARNING
• Read all instructions before using the unit.
• Use only a 220 volt outlet.
• Do not use the 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 intake 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 electric shock or fire.
• When moving the unit, do not damage the power cord with the casters.
Failure to do so can cause electric shock, heat generation, or fire.
• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• Do not place the unit near gas appliances or fireplaces.
• Always unplug the unit when refilling the water tank, cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use. Failure to
do so can cause a short circuit resulting in electric shock or fire.
• In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by either the
manufacturer, a service agent, a Sharp Authorized Service Center or a similarly qualified service provider.
• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Centre should service this air purifier. Contact the nearest Service Centre for
any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• Do not operate the unit in rooms where aerosol insecticides are present. Do not operate the unit in rooms
where there is oily residue, incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, or chemical fumes in the air. Do not operate the
