Glossary
ENERGY STAR
®
: the unit has received
ENERGY STAR
®
certification
3D i-see Sensor
®
: scans each room
to produce a complete thermal
profile that includes heat signatures
based upon size, temperature and
movement
Econo Cool: adjusts the amount of air
directed towards occupants based on
the air-outlet temperature
Demand Function: when the unit
is equipped with a commercially
available timer or an On/Off switch
added to the outdoor unit, a signal
input from the outside can help
reduce energy consumption
Blue Fin: particularly beneficial in
coastal areas, this anti-corrosion
treatment to the heat exchanger
of the outdoor units prevents the
corrosion caused by salt in the air
that impacts the efficiency and
performance of the units
HSPF: a ratio of BTU heat output over
the heating season to watt-hours of
electricity used. The higher the HSPF
rating of a unit, the more energy
efficient it is.
SEER: the rating of a unit’s cooling
output during a typical cooling-season
divided by the total electric energy
input during the same period. The
higher the unit’s SEER rating, the
more energy efficient it is.
Nano Platinum Filter: incorporates
nanometer-sized platinum-ceramic
particles that kill bacteria and
deodorize air
Catechin Filter: improves air quality
and offers an excellent deodorizing
effect by incorporating catechin, a
bioflavonoid derived from green tea
Air Filter: removes dust particles from
the air
Deodorizing Filter: this filter captures
and breaks down odor-causing
particles to eliminate unwanted smells
Electrostatic Anti-allergy Enzyme
Filter: charged with static electricity,
this filter attracts and captures dust
particles, molds and bacteria and
breaks them down with enzymes
Anti-allergy Enzyme Filter: traps
allergens such as molds and bacteria
and decomposes them using enzymes
Air Purifying Filter: the filter has a
large capture area and deodorizes the
circulating air
Fresh Air Intake: indoor air quality is
enhanced by the direct intake of fresh
exterior air
High-efficiency Filter: the fine mesh of
this high-performance filter is capable
of capturing tiny particulates that
other filters miss
Long-life Filter: this high-performance
filter has a longer maintenance cycle
than conventional filters
Filter Check Signal: operating time is
monitored, and the user is notified
when filter maintenance is necessary
Double Vane: separates the airflow in
different directions to deliver airflow
across a wide area of the space and
simultaneously to people in different
locations
Swing Mode: indoor unit moves
air throughout the room like an
oscillating fan
Indirect/Direct Mode: this mode offers
finely-tuned operation by locating
where an occupant is in the room
and sends the air directly or indirectly
according to the selected mode
Powerful Mode: temporarily drops
or raises the set temperature for 15
minutes so that automatic fan speed
adjustments made possible by the
INVERTER will more quickly bring your
room to your desired temperature
Wide Airflow: especially beneficial
for large spaces, this capability helps
ensure that air is well circulated and
reaches every corner of the room
High Ceiling Mode: in the case of
rooms with high ceilings, the outlet-
air volume can be increased to ensure
that air is circulated all the way to the
floor
Low Ceiling Mode: if the room has a
low ceiling, the airflow volume can be
reduced for less draft
Auto Fan Speed Mode: adjusts the fan
speed of the indoor unit automatically
according to the present room
conditions
Smart Set: a simplified setting
function that recalls the preferred
(preset) temperature by pressing
a single button on the remote
controller
Weekly Timer: easily set desired
temperatures and operation ON/OFF
times to match your lifestyle
On/Off Timer: use the remote
controller to set the times of turning
the unit on and off
Auto Changeover: automatically
switches between heating and cooling
modes to maintain the desired
temperature
Low-temperature Cooling: intelligent
fan speed control on P-series
outdoor units that ensures optimum
performance even when the outside
temperature is low
Auto Restart: especially useful at the
time of power outages, the unit turns
back on automatically when power is
restored
Sleep Mode: 30 minutes after Sleep
Mode is activated, the unit will
change the daytime set temperature
to the temperature you prefer while
sleeping, automatically lowering the
fan speed as necessary
