FEATURES
SHARP’s Original Air Disinfecting Technology.
Plasmacluster HD helps to improve the air quality by inactivating airborne mold*1, viruses*2, allergens*3, and adhering odor*4 .

Release Plasmacluster Ions. |
Plasmacluster Ions are the |
same positive and negative ions found in nature. The ions are surrounded by water molecules, and are released into the air.

•While IG-A20A and IG-A40A can inactivate 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-A20A and IG-A40A have to be replaced periodically*.
*Replacement is required approximately every 2 years (17,500 hours) when operated 24 hours a day. IG-A20A and IG-A40A 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.
