• Check the filters. If they appear to be extremely dirty, clean or
replace them. (Ref. E-13)
• The air may have been dirty when the unit was plugged in.
Unplug the unit, wait one minute, and then plug the unit in again.
• Dirty or clogged dust(sensitive) sensor openings interfere with
sensor operation. Gently clean the sensor filter or the back
panel. (Ref. E-11).
• The unit may make clicking or ticking sounds when it is
generating ions.
• Check to see if the filters are extremely dirty.
• Clean or replace the filters. (Ref. E-11, E-12, E-13)
• Use only fresh tap water. Using other water sources risks the
growth of molds, fungi, or bacteria.
• Make sure the unit is installed in a location in which the sensors
can detect cigarette smoke.
• Check to see if the dust(sensitive) sensor openings are blocked
or clogged. If they are blocked or clogged, clean the sensor filter
or the back panel. (Ref. E-11)
• Whenever after performing maintenance or replacing the filters,
connect the power cord to an outlet and then press the Filter
Reset Button. (Ref. E-11)
• When Light control is set to "Auto", the light automatically turns
off when the room is dark. Moreover, when Light control is set
to "Turn off", the light is always off. If you do not want the light to
be off, set Light control to the "Darker" setting. (Ref. E-9, E-10)

correctly installed. Check the Humidifying Filter. (Ref. E-12)
• If the filter is extremely dirty, clean or replace it. (Ref. E-13)
• The Cleanliness Monitor automatically changes color when the
dust(sensitive) sensor and odor sensor* detect impurities.
If you are concerned about the change, you can change sensor
sensitivity. (Ref. E-9,E-10) (*KC-G60 / KC-G50)
• There is a difference in the humidity level within the same room.
• The sensor have different measurement parameters.
• If the monitor indicates wattage or temperature, switch the
display by pressing the DISPLAY SELECT button. (Ref. E-9)
• Outdoor and indoor as well as the home environment (the
volume of traffic nearby, number of stories in home, etc.) may
cause a reading different than local PM2.5 data.
If error occurs repeatedly, contact the Sharp Service Center.
Make sure that the Humidifying Filter and Humidifying Tray are properly
installed, and then turn the power to ON again.
