For replacement the air-cleaning filter, contact your dealer.
Sources of odors on the filter are broken up, resulting in a
deodorizing effect.

1. Open the air inlet panel and remove the air filters.
Page 18
2. Remove the filter holders, with the air-cleaning filter installed in the folders, from the air-
conditioner.
3. 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 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.
Remove the natural enzyme filter (green) from the 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 used 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.)
(Do not dispose of the filter holders. They are reused. )
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 closed the air inlet panel.
