Installing, inspecting and replacing the air-cleaning filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
Page 27
2. Remove the filter holders, with the air-cleaning filter installed in the holders, from the
air-conditioner.
3. Remove the natural enzyme filter from filter holder and inspect the filter. Use a
vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or dirt from the natural enzyme filter. Replace
the natural enzyme filter if it cannot be cleaned or if it has been for about 1 year.
(The natural enzyme filter should be replaced after about 1 year of use. However,
the actual replacement period may vary depending on the conditions in which the
filter is used.)
Remove the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter (orange) from the filter holder
and inspect the filter. Periodically, remove any dust or dirt from the photocatalytic
washable deodorizing filter. If the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter is
particularly dirty, it may be washed with water. However, the filter is fragile so be sure
to wash it installed in the filter holder to avoid damaging it. After washing the filter,
place it in sunlight to dry. Placing the filter in sunlight restores the deodorizing effect.
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reusable. )
4. Install the air-cleaning filter in the filter holders, and then install the filter
holders in the air-conditioner.
5. Install the air filters and close the air inlet panel.

Do not expose natural enzyme filters to direct sunlight for an extended period. The bacteriolytic
effect will be lost.
•
The heat exchanger may injure your fingers.
•
Stand firmly on a stepladder or other stable object when removing the inlet panel and filters.
