Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with True HEPA Filtration and Humidifying Function for Large Rooms - KC860U-KT

 Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with True HEPA Filtration and Humidifying Function for Large Rooms - KC860U-KT

The Sharp KC860U Plasmacluster Ion Air Purifier with True HEPA Filtration and Humidification offers a unique combination of air treatment technologies and a one-touch automatic air quality control system to make you and your family more comfortable all year round. The automatic air quality control system of this large-sized room humidifying air purifier uses sensors to constantly monitor the air quality in your room, adjusting for air purity and optimum humidity level, and will also indicate when filters should be cleaned.

The KC860U helps remove pollutants and common allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, and smoke with an ultra-quiet fan that draws air through a three-stage filter system including a permanent micro-mesh pre-filter, washable activated carbon filter, and a long-life True HEPA filter, which captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air that passes through it.

The KC860U large room air purifier with humidifying function also reduces germs, bacteria, viruses, odors, mold, and fungus by using patented Plasmacluster Ion Technology. This technology disperses positively and negatively charged ions throughout the room, which safely break down microorganisms and odors - even those trapped in fabric, carpeting, and drapery! With its Plasmacluster Ion Technology, the KC860U air purifier is an ideal solution for pet owners, smokers, allergy sufferers, and asthmatics.

When used in humidify mode, the unit can help relieve congestion, cough, and dry and swollen nasal passages. The water tank for the built-in humidifier is easily removed from the side of the unit and can be filled at the sink with tap water. The indicator light blinks on the control panel when the tank is low. It is best used in a large-sized bedroom, living room, study, or exercise room. Sharp's Plasmacluster Ion Technology Air Purifier is not only ARB Certified. It also produces 5X less ozone (at less than .001 ppm) than the lowest industry and federal standards set by the FDA, OSHA, and NIOSH.

Plasmacluster Ion Technology has proven effective in reducing certain viruses, including MS2 (Influenza viral stimulant), bacteria, including E-Coli Staphylococcus epidermidis and Serratia, molds, and funguses, including Aspergillus Niger, and certain odors that conventional filters don't reach, like odors in upholstery and drapery. 17 laboratories have tested Plasmacluster Ion Technology in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, and Vietnam.

In addition to auto mode, there are 3 manual fan speeds. The Dust, Odor, and Humidity sensors are always monitoring the quality of the air in your room, and the combination displays on the front panel let you check your air quality at a glance. In AUTO mode, the KC860U uses the sensors to automatically react and adjust the fan speed and humidity levels for optimal performance.

The unit has LibraryQuiet operation (as quiet as 19 decibels, or the sound of rustling leaves), includes long-life True HEPA filters that last up to 5 years.

Almost Perfect Allergen Removal

True HEPA filtration is ideal for removing common household allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke from the air. As a large room humidifying air purifier with true HEPA filtration, which removes 99.97% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, including pollen, dust, smoke particles, and pet dander, more particles can be captured when compared to a HEPA-type filter.

Automatically Detects, Displays and Reacts

Built-in temperature, dust, and humidity sensors monitor your air quality and automatically clean and humidify as needed, so you can sit back and enjoy healthier, fresher air!

Relieve Dry Air Symptoms

Humidifiers like the KC860U air purifier can help relieve sinus issues, dry throat, dry eyes, and chapped lips. They can also help relieve dry skin caused by psoriasis, thyroid disorders, topical medications, and cosmetics. Heaters used in wintertime can also lower the humidity level in the air, so having a humidifier is helpful.

  Maintenance Tips

  Clean the HEPA Filter – Check and clean the HEPA filter every 6-12 months using a vacuum or wash it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace it when necessary (typically every 1-2 years).

  Replace the Humidifying Filter – Replace the humidifying filter regularly to maintain efficient humidification and prevent mold or bacteria buildup. Check it every 6 months or as recommended in the user manual.

  Empty the Water Tank – After each use, empty the water tank to avoid stale water buildup. Clean the tank with mild soap and warm water regularly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.

  Wipe the Exterior – Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the air purifier to remove dust and dirt, keeping the unit looking clean.

  Check and Clean the Plasmacluster Ion Generator – Clean the Plasmacluster ion generator unit as per the instructions to ensure it functions effectively. Dust and debris can block ion emission.

  Keep the Air Vents Clear – Regularly check and clean the intake and exhaust vents to prevent airflow obstruction, ensuring optimal air circulation.

  Replace Filters as Needed – Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for replacing the filters (HEPA, deodorizing, humidifying), which helps maintain air quality and the performance of the unit.

  Regularly Monitor the Water Level – Keep an eye on the water level to ensure consistent humidification, especially during dry weather conditions.

  Avoid Direct Sunlight – Keep the air purifier out of direct sunlight to preserve the filters and prevent any heat damage to the components.

  Consult the User Manual – Refer to the user manual for specific maintenance intervals, cleaning methods, and troubleshooting tips to maximize the lifespan of the unit.
