Provide fast cooling, maximum comfort,
clean air and optimise energy saving

ECONAVI + INVERTER The Perfect Energy Saving Technology

ECONAVI detects where energy is normally wasted and adjusts cooling power depending on room
conditions and activity levels. Then, INVERTER leverages ECONAVI sensor data and varies compressor
rotation speed. This helps to optimize cooling operation and reduces wasteful cooling.

nanoe-G Purifi es the air down to the smallest particles

Deactivates harmful micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, etc. to keep air clean.
It also deactivates viruses and bacteria on the fi lter to keep inside of the unit clean.
