CLEANING THE CATECHIN AIR FILTER
Cleaning the catechin air filter (about once every 2 weeks)
What is “Catechin air filter”?
The air filter is dyed with a natural material, catechin, that is contained in tea. The catechin air filter deodorizes
odor and noxious gases such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and acetaldehyde. Moreover, it restrains the activity of
the viruses adhering to the filter.
Remove the catechin air filter.
CAUTION:
When the catechin air filter is to be removed, do not touch
the metal parts of the indoor unit.
This may cause an injury.
Remove dirt from the catechin air filter using
a vacuum cleaner or by washing the filter
with water.
• Do not wash with scrubbing brush or hard surface
of sponge. Otherwise, the filter may deform.
• If the dirt is noticeable, wash the filter with a solution
of mild detergent diluted in lukewarm water.
• If hot water (50 °C or more) is used, the filter may
be deformed.
After washing with water/lukewarm water, dry
the catechin air filter well in the shade.
• Do not expose the catechin air filter to direct sunlight
or heat from a fire when drying it.
Install the catechin air filter.
(Securely install its tabs.)
