Installing, inspecting, and replacing the allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
2. Remove the filter holders, with the allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deo-
dorizing filter installed in the holders, from the air-conditioner.
3. Remove the allergen clear filter from filter holder and inspect the filter. Use a vacuum cleaner
to remove any dust or dirt from the allergen clear filter. Replace the allergen clear filter if it
cannot be cleaned or if it has been for about 1 year.
(The allergen clear 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 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 dirt, 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 revitalizes the deodorizing effect.
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused.)
4. Install the allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter in the filter
holders, and then install the filter holders in the air-conditioner.
5. Install the air filters and closed the air inlet panel.
NOTE
The allergen clear filter and the photocatalytic washable deodorizing filter
may be installed on either the right or left side of the air-conditioner.
For replacement allergen clear filters and photocatalytic washable deodorizing filters, contact your dealer.
The power of enzymes is used to eliminate allergy-causing
allergens that accumulate on the filter.
Sources of odors on the filter are broken up, resulting in a
deodorizing effect.
