• While IG-A10EU 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-A10EU will
need to be replaced periodically*.
* Replacement is required approximately every 2 years (17,500 hours) when operated
24 hours a day. IG-A10EU will stop operating after about 26 months (19,000 hours) if
the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit is not replaced.

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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT remove the plug when your hands are wet.
• DO NOT use the unit near gas appliances or fireplaces.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, a
Sharp authorized Service Center or qualified 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, in-
cense, 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

Problem WHAT TO DO
The Plasmacluster Ion Generator
does not work. Make sure to put in the plug.
Approx. 2 years and 2 months (approx. 19,000
hours) has been passed.
Replace with a new Plasmacluster Ion
Generating Unit. See page E-6,7.
Plasmacluster Ions are not released.
Press the Operation button and restart.
Failure
Unplug and contact the store you purchased or
Sharp Service Center.
The discharged air has odor. The Plasmacluster Ion Generator releases a
small trace of ozone which may produce odor.
This is not harmful to health.
A clicking or ticking sound comes
from the unit while operating the
Plasmacluster Ion Generator.
Loudness can be changed depending on a room
humidity, but the effectiveness is the same.
Relocate the Plasmacluster Ion Generator if
necessary.
