•While IG-BL20A can inactivate suspended viruses and other contaminants, it cannot create a completely sterilized 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-BL20A will need to be replaced periodically*.
*Replacement is required approximately every 2 years (17,500 hours) when operated 24 hours a day. IG-BL20A 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. The information provided in this manual is subject to change without notice.
