The ionizer inside the air conditioner will release cluster ions, which are
collective mass of positive and negative ions, into the room.
The cluster ions reduce airborne mold fungus and deodorize/decompose odor-
causing molecules.

Cluster ions released into the air will reduce airborne mold fungus and deodorize/decompose
odor-causing molecules.

It is said that plenty of negative ions exist in places such as waterfalls or forests in natural
environment. In this operation mode, negative inos will be released in an increased rate, in order
to bring the room air close to this condition.

Dust sensor and odor sensor will detect foul air in the room.
Air Clean Operation will be performed for one minute after the air conditioner is operated to
detect foul air.
