The Shark HP200 Series Air Purifier is designed to remove allergens, mold, bacteria, and other particles from the air, contributing to a cleaner home environment. It features a polarized plug for safety, ensuring it fits into an outlet only one way.

Function Description:

The primary function of this appliance is air purification. It operates by drawing in air, filtering out various airborne contaminants, and then releasing cleaner air back into the room. The unit is equipped with an Auto Mode that automatically adjusts fan speeds based on detected air quality. When 100% clean air status is achieved for 10 minutes in Auto Mode, the air purifier enters Eco Mode to conserve energy. If particles are subsequently detected, the fan will reactivate. The device also provides visual feedback on air quality through rotating lights and a display that shows the current air quality.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific numerical technical specifications like power consumption or CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) are not provided in the manual, several operational and safety specifications are highlighted:

Power Cord: The appliance uses a polarized plug. The power cord must not be damaged, run under carpeting, covered, or routed under furniture or appliances. It should be kept away from high-traffic areas and heated surfaces.
Filter Type: The unit uses Shark® branded filters. These filters are designed for optimal performance for 8-12 months and should not be washed.
Remote Battery: The remote control (not explicitly shown but implied by "REMOTE BATTERY" section) uses a lithium button/coin cell battery. Proper disposal of batteries is emphasized, and they should be kept away from children due to the chemical burn hazard.
Speed Control: The unit is not suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.

Usage Features:

Setup:
1. The air purifier must first be flipped upside down to access the filter door, which is then twisted to unlock.
2. The filter, which comes in plastic packaging, must be removed from its packaging and reinserted into the unit. The air purifier should not be operated without the filter properly installed and unwrapped.
3. After reinstallation, the filter door is twisted until it clicks into place.
4. The unit should be placed on a level surface, at least 3 inches (8 cm) away from walls and objects, to ensure proper airflow.
5. Once plugged into an electrical outlet and the power button is pressed, the unit begins to analyze air quality, indicated by rotating lights, and then displays the current air quality.
Control Panel: The top control panel includes a power button and likely other controls for settings. The manual mentions holding the "Air Info" and "Child Lock" buttons simultaneously for two seconds to mute the unit's beeping.
Operating Modes: The Auto Mode is a key feature, allowing the unit to automatically adjust fan speed based on air quality. Eco Mode is activated after prolonged clean air status.
Air Quality Monitoring: The device provides real-time air quality feedback through visual indicators.
Safety Features:
- Polarized Plug: Prevents improper insertion into outlets.
- Blocked Openings/Restricted Airflow: The unit should not be used with any blocked openings, and if airflow is restricted, it should be turned off, unplugged, and obstructions removed before restarting.
- Unstable Surfaces: Avoid placing the appliance on unstable surfaces like chairs or tables.
- Environmental Restrictions: Do not use in wet/damp surfaces, outdoor areas, or enclosed spaces with explosive/toxic fumes or vapors (e.g., lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinners, mothproofing substances, or flammable dust).
- Damaged Unit: Do not use if the appliance is not working as it should, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
- Wet Hands: Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
- Filter Presence: Do not use without the filter in place.
Remote Control (Battery Safety): The remote uses a lithium button/coin cell battery. Users are warned about the chemical burn hazard if swallowed and instructed to keep batteries away from children. The battery compartment must be securely closed. If a battery is swallowed or suspected to be inside the body, immediate medical attention is required.

Maintenance Features:

Filter Replacement: The filters are designed to last 8-12 months and should not be washed. The manual directs users to qr.sharkclean.com/hp200series or a QR code to purchase replacement filters.
Cleaning:
- The appliance must be unplugged from the electrical outlet prior to cleaning or maintenance.
- Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
- Hand-wash with water only; cleaning chemicals could damage the unit.
- Ensure the filter is in place after routine maintenance.
General Maintenance: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard. The unit should be unplugged from the electrical outlet when not in use and before any maintenance or cleaning.

The manual also provides recommendations for understanding lower air quality, listing potential causes such as cooking, burning food, dust, smoke, pollen, and cleaning products. It encourages users to run the unit in Auto Mode for optimal performance and to not wash the filters.
