Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Generator IG-MX15-W Instruction Manual

1. Introducció i finalview

The Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Generator IG-MX15-W is a cup-type device designed to improve air quality in vehicles and other small spaces. It utilizes Plasmacluster NEXT technology to generate positive and negative ions, similar to those found in nature, to effectively deodorize and purify the air.

This device is equipped with Plasmacluster NEXT technology, which offers an approximately 20% increase in ion concentration compared to previous models. This enhancement leads to improved deodorizing performance and additional benefits for a more comfortable environment.

2. Configuració

2.1 Contingut del paquet

Before setup, ensure all items are present:

• Plasmacluster Ion Generator (Main Unit)
• Adaptador USB de cotxe
• Cable USB
• Raspall de neteja de la unitat

2.2 Connexió d'alimentació

The unit is powered via USB. Use the included USB cable and car adapter for in-vehicle use, or a commercially available mobile battery for use in other locations without a power outlet.

1. Insert the USB car adapter into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB car adapter (or a mobile battery/USB power source).
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the power input port on the Plasmacluster Ion Generator.

2.3 Col·locació

Place the unit securely in a cup holder within your vehicle. Ensure it is stable and does not obstruct driving controls or airbags.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

3.1 Engegada/Apagada i Selecció de Mode

Once connected to power, the unit can be operated via its touch controls. Refer to the control panel on the top of the unit for power and mode adjustments.

3.2 Deodorization Modes

The device is designed to target and reduce six common types of odors in the car:

• Mold odor
• Sweat odor
• Body odor
• Food odor
• Tobacco odor
• Pet odor

The unit features an "Omakase operation" (automatic/optimized operation) that initially releases concentrated Plasmacluster ions for approximately 25 minutes for rapid deodorization. Following this, it switches to a "medium" operation mode to maintain a comfortable and clean air environment.

3.3 Engine-Linked Operation

The device supports engine-linked operation. When the car engine is turned off, the ion generator will stop. When the car engine is restarted, the ion generator will automatically resume operation in the same mode it was in before stopping.

3.4 Creating a Comfortable Driving Environment

The Plasmacluster technology helps create an environment that supports maintaining concentration and reduces stress, contributing to a more relaxed driving experience.

4. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Plasmacluster Ion Generator.

4.1 Neteja de la unitat

Use the included unit cleaning brush to regularly clean the ion outlet and air intake vents. Dust and debris can accumulate, affecting performance. Ensure the unit is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.

4.2 Manteniment del filtre

The unit contains a pollen catch filter. Periodically check and clean this filter to maintain air purification efficiency. The frequency of cleaning depends on usage and environmental conditions.

4.3 Ion Generating Unit Replacement

The ion generating unit (electrode) is a consumable part. Its lifespan is approximately 17,500 hours (about 2 years of continuous 24-hour use). For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the ion generating unit every 6 months, especially with frequent use. Replacement parts can be purchased separately from authorized retailers.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you experience issues with your Plasmacluster Ion Generator, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• La unitat no s'encén: Check if the USB cable is securely connected to both the unit and the power source. Ensure the power source (car adapter, mobile battery) is functioning correctly.
• Weak airflow or reduced deodorization: Clean the air intake vents and the ion outlet using the provided brush. Check and clean the pollen catch filter. Accumulated dust can restrict airflow and ion generation.
• Soroll inusual: Ensure the unit is placed stably in the cup holder and not vibrating against other objects. If the noise persists after checking placement and cleaning, contact customer support.

If the problem persists after attempting these steps, please contact Sharp customer support for further assistance.
