OPERATION GUIDE ODOR SENSOR GUIDELINES • The odor sensor responds to cigarette and pet odors, as well as other scents such as Insecticide, cosmetics, spray, alcohol, or sudden changes in temperature or humidity. • When the unit is in Auto Mode and room is in a closed environment the sensor will respond to some odors by increasing the air flow. If you do not desire increased air flow, please adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. FILTER RESET • Once the Washable Active Carbon Filter has been cleaned or replaced, connect the power cord to the outlet and use a pointed instrument to activate the Filter Reset on the Remote Control. Once the Filter Reset Button has been activated, you will hear a beep sound that means that the unit has been reset. If the Filter Indicator Light is on, it will then go out automatically. GUIDE FOR WASHABLE ACTIVE CARBON FILTER • Can this filter be washed? When should I wash this filter? • Yes! The Active Carbon Filter is washable. Generally, you should wash it every 2 months or if odor persists. • Will washing improve the filter's performance? • After time the filter will loose its deodorizing ability. When washed, the filter will be restored to a nearly new working level of deodorization. • When does Washable Active Carbon Filter need replacement? • Sharp recommends to replace filters 5 years after opening. Even if washed regularly (every 2 months), the Washable Active Carbon Filter usually needs to be replaced 5 years after opening the filter package. Replace your True HEPA Filter at the same time you replace the Washable Active Carbon Filter since the deodorizing performance will slowly decrease with repeated washing. Please refer to E-14 page for directions on how to clean your Washable Active Carbon Filter. E-18
