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 restraints the activity of the viruses adhering to the filter.

3Hold both ends of the front panel, keep the panel level, and insert the hinges into the holes on the upper part of the indoor unit until they click into place. Then, close the front panel securely and press the three po- sitions on the front panel as indicated by the arrows.
