SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,

including the following:

WARNING
• Read all instructions before using the unit.
• Use only a 220-240 volt (FP-J40E/J40L/J40Y/J40M) and 200 volt (FP-J40TA) outlet.
• Do not use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged or the connection to the
wall outlet is loosened.
• Periodically remove dust from the power plug.

• When removing the power plug, always hold the plug and never pull the cord.
cur as a result.
• Be careful not to damage the power cord, it may cause electric shock, excess heat or

• Do not remove the plug when your hands are wet.

• Remove the power plug from the wall outlet before cleaning the unit and when not
using the unit.

• When cleaning the unit, or when the unit is not in use, be sure to unplug the unit. Electrical

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, Sharp Approved Service Center or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate when using aerosol insecticides or in rooms where there is oily residue,
incense, sparks from lit cigarettes, chemical fumes in the air or in very high humidity
conditions, such as a bathroom.
• Be cautious when cleaning the unit. Corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.
• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center should service this air purifier. Contact the
nearest Service Center for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

NOTE - Radio or TV Interference

interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the unit and radio/TV/wave-clock receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION

• Do not block the intake and/or air outlet.
• Do not use the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters or where it may
come into contact with steam.
• Do not lay the unit down when using.
• Always hold the handle on the back of the unit when moving it.

• Do not
ectric shock or malfunction.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• When using the unit, place it away from equipment utilizing electric waves such as
televisions or radios to avoid electrical interference.
• Avoid use in locations where furniture, fabrics or other items may come in contact
with and restrict the air intake and/or air outlet.
• Avoid use in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic
temperature changes. Appropriate conditions are when room temperature is
between 0 – 35 ºC.
•
When placing the unit on a heavily carpeted area, the unit may vibrate slightly.
• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated.
The unit surface may crack as a result.
• Place the unit about 30 cm(1 ft) away from the wall in order to ensure proper

The dust collecting performance will be the same even if using the unit 3cm away from
the wall, but place it as far as possible(30cm away recommended) because it may dirty

FILTER GUIDELINES

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER

■ ADOPTION OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER
This model uses lead-free solder. The LF mark indicates lead-free solder and appears on circuit boards and in the service manual.
The letter following the LF mark indicates the type of lead-free solder.
(Example)

Indicates lead-free solder of tin, copper and nickel

■ USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER

When soldering to repair a lead-free solder board, use a lead-free solder. Do not use conventional lead solder, as this may cause
accidents and failures due to cracking. The melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Cu-Ni) is 45°C higher than lead solder, and thus it
is recommended that you use a special soldering iron. If you do not know where to obtain lead-free solder and a suitable soldering
iron, please contact your nearest SHARP service center or service branch.
■ SOLDERING WORK
The melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Cu-Ni) is approximately 225°C, 45°C higher than conventional solder, and wettability is
not as good. For this reason there is a tendency to keep the soldering iron in contact with the board for a long time. However, this
may cause lifted lands and heating in excess of the heat tolerance of components, and thus the soldering iron should be removed
from the board as soon as you have verified that a bond has formed. Lead-free solder has a higher proportion of tin, which causes
increased corrosion of the tip of the soldering iron, and thus care should be taken to turn off the soldering iron whenever it is not
in use. Any different type of solder remaining on the tip of the soldering iron will form an alloy with lead-free solder, thus the tip
should be cleaned after you have finished soldering. If the tip of the soldering iron turns a dark color while you are soldering, clean
the tip with steel wool or fine-grained sandpaper.

CHAPTER 2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

[1] THE CAUTIONS ON USE
1. THE METHOD OF EFFECTIVE INSTALLATION
The air purifier is designed to remove air-suspended dust and odor, but not harmful gases (for example, carbon monoxide
contained in cigarettesmoke). If the odor sources still exist, it cannot completely remove the odor. (for example, odors from
construction materials and pet odors).
It is suggested to open the window a bit when you are smoking in order to facilitate ventilation.

2. PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
Please follow these precautions when using the air purifier. Failure to do so may damage the unit and/or cause an accident (fire,
electrical shock, injury).
● Do not use the air purifier as a ventilation fan or stove exhaust fan.
● Do not insert your fingers or other objects into the air intake, air outlet, or filter case.
● The high-voltage components and rotating fan parts inside the air purifier are extremely dangerous.
● Do not use the air purifier in a humid environment.
● Do not use the air purifier when placed on top of or located close to heating equipment.
● Do not allow flammable substances to enter the air purifier.
● Do not block the air purifier's air intake or air outlet.
● Do not knock over or drop the air purifier.
● Always ventilate closed rooms.
● The air purifier does not function to provide ventilation or remove carbon monoxide.

[2] REPLACING THE AIR PURIFIER'S FILTER

1) FILTER SERVICE LIFE TIMES
Service lifetimes for the air purifier's filter in a normal residential setting are as follows:
● HEPA Filter : About 2 years after opening
These estimates indicate the period over which the air purifier's ability to absorb odors and collect dust will be reduced by
50% in an operating envronment where 5 cigarettes are smoked daily (based on Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association
standard JEM 1467). These service lifetimes are provided for reference purposes only. Depending on the conditions in which
the air purifier is operated, filter performance may deteriorate within several months. It is recommended to replace the unit's
filter as soon as any unpleasant odors become noticeable.
2) HOW FREQUENTLY TO REPLACE FILTER
How frequently the air purifier's filter will need to be replaced depends on where the unit is being used.

3) FILTER WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
When the purifier is used in proximity to soot or carbonized substances. When the purifier is used in an office or business
setting, such as a restaurant, mahjong parlor, barbershop, or hair salon.
