ENGLISH

• While IG-A10A can inactivate and eliminate suspended viruses

and other contaminants, it cannot create a completely sterile
environment. SHARP does not guarantee its ability to prevent
microbial infection.

• To enable stable emission of high-density Plasmacluster ions, the
Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit mounted in IG-A10A will need

to be replaced periodically*

*Replacement is required approximately every 2 years (17,500 hours) when operated

24 hours a day. IG-A10A will stop operating after about 26 months (19,000 hours) if

the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit is not replaced.

Thank you for purchasing this SHARP Plasmacluster Ion Generator. Please
read this manual carefully before using Plasmacluster Ion Generator.
After reading, keep the manual in a convenient location for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, re, or injury :

• Read all instructions before using the unit.

• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.

• DO NOT use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged, or the connection to the wall outlet

is loosened.

• Periodically remove dust from the plug.

• DO NOT insert ngers or foreign objects into the air intake or air outlet.

• Always hold the plug and never pull on the cord when removing the power plug.
Electrical shock and/or re from a short circuit may result.

• DO NOT remove the plug when your hands are wet.

• DO NOT use the unit near gas appliances or replaces.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a
Sharp authorized Service Center or qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Be cautious when cleaning the unit.

Strong corrosive cleansers may damage the exterior.

• DO NOT use it in the areas where the unit may get wet.

• DO NOT use spray products near the unit.

•

DO NOT use in the rooms, containing oil component, incense, cigarettes’ sparks, and chemical fumes.

• DO NOT operate when using aerosol insecticides or in rooms where there is oily residue, in­cense, sparks from lit cigarettes, chemical fumes in the air, or in locations where the unit may
get wet, such as a bathroom.

• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center should service this Plasmacluster Ion Generator.

Contact the nearest Service Center for any problems, adjustments, or repairs.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION:

• DO NOT block the air intake and/or air outlet.

• DO NOT use the unit near or on hot objects, such as stoves or heaters or where it may come

into contact with steam.

• Always operate the main unit in an upright position.

• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth only, otherwise the main unit surface may be damaged or

cracked.

• Keep the main unit away from water.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

• Place at least 2m away from equipment utilizing electric waves such as televisions or radios to

avoid electrical interference when using the unit.

• Avoid using in locations where the unit is exposed to condensation or drastic temperature
changes. Appropriate room temperature is between 0-35ºC.

• Avoid locations where grease or oily smoke is generated, otherwise the main unit surface may

crack as a result.

NOTE - Radio or TV Interference:

If this Plasmacluster Ion Generator may cause interference to radio or television reception,
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the unit and radio/TV receiver.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
