2. Key Features
- Dehumidification: Effectively removes excess moisture, making rooms dry and comfortable. Ideal for preventing condensation on windows and managing humidity in areas like dressing rooms, closets, and living rooms during rainy seasons. Dehumidification capacity: 5.6 L/day (60Hz) / 5.0 L/day (50Hz).
- Humidification: Provides ample humidification during dry seasons using clean water, supported by an Ag+ ion cartridge to maintain water purity. Humidification capacity: 400 mL/h.
- Air Purification: Features Plasmacluster 25000 technology to purify the air. It addresses pollen, static electricity, and quickly collects distant dust through its 'Speed Circulation Airflow'. Applicable floor area for air purification: Up to 19 tatami mats.
- Clothes Drying: Utilizes a swing louver to direct concentrated airflow, enabling quick and efficient drying of clothes indoors. Plasmacluster technology also helps suppress odors and attached bacteria during drying.
- Compact Design: A slim body that saves space while delivering high air purification performance. Recommended for rooms up to approximately 10 tatami mats.

3. Setup and Installation
Before operating your SHARP KI-ND50-W, please follow these steps for proper setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
- Placement: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit (at least 30 cm from walls or furniture) for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources, direct sunlight, or in areas with excessive dust.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord securely into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the unit's requirements (refer to specifications).
- Water Tank (Humidification): For humidification, fill the water tank with clean tap water. Ensure the tank is properly seated in the unit.
- Drainage (Dehumidification): For continuous dehumidification, you may connect a drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drainage port. Otherwise, the internal water tank will collect condensed water and needs to be emptied regularly.
