1. Product Overview

This replacement filter set is designed to maintain the high performance of your Sharp air purifier. It includes both a True HEPA filter and an Activated Carbon filter, working in conjunction to provide cleaner, healthier air.

The multi-layer filtration system is engineered to capture a wide range of airborne pollutants, ensuring a fresh indoor environment.

2. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install your new HEPA and Deodorizing Carbon filters into your Sharp air purifier.

1. Power Off: Ensure your Sharp air purifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet before beginning installation.

3. Remove Old Filters: Carefully remove the used HEPA and Activated Carbon filters. Dispose of them responsibly.
4. Unpack New Filters: Remove the new HEPA and Activated Carbon filters from their protective packaging.
5. Install Activated Carbon Filter: Insert the Activated Carbon filter first. Ensure it is oriented correctly, typically with the honeycomb side facing outwards or as indicated by arrows on the filter or air purifier.

3. Operating Principles

Once installed, these filters work together to purify your indoor air:

• True HEPA Filter: This filter is designed to capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes larger physical particles such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and PM2.5. It utilizes H13 high-efficiency filtration with electrostatic electret active adsorption for superior particle removal.
• Activated Carbon Filter: Composed of premium columnar activated carbon particles, this filter excels at adsorbing gaseous pollutants. It effectively reduces odors, smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful gases.

4. Maintenance

The primary maintenance for these filters is timely replacement. These filters are not washable and should not be cleaned with water or vacuumed, as this can damage the filter media and reduce effectiveness.

• Replacement Schedule: For optimal performance and to prevent secondary pollution, the filter set needs to be replaced every 3-6 months. Actual replacement frequency may vary based on air quality, usage duration, and environmental factors.
• Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local waste disposal guidelines.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after replacing your filters, consider the following:

• Reduced Airflow: Ensure both the HEPA and Activated Carbon filters are installed correctly and seated firmly in their compartments. Check for any obstructions in the air purifier's intake or output vents.
• Persistent Odors: Verify that the Activated Carbon filter is installed correctly. If odors persist shortly after replacement, it might indicate an issue with the air purifier unit itself or an unusually high concentration of pollutants.
• Filter Indicator Light: If the filter replacement indicator light remains on after installing new filters, consult your air purifier's manual for instructions on how to reset the filter life monitor.
• General Performance: If air quality does not improve significantly after proper installation and resetting the indicator, ensure the air purifier unit is functioning correctly.
