Introducing Panasonic's original filter-cleaning AC Robot (Auto Cleaning Robot). This powerful, built-in cleaning mechanism automatically cleans the filter to minimise filter clogging. This maintains the air conditioner's original performance, while eliminating the unpleasant job of cleaning the filter manually. 03 It automatically vacuums the dust from the filter and exhausts it outdoors each time you use it.

Always CLEAN It prevents dust from accumulating and keeps the filter like new. It prevents the breeding of mould and bacteria that cause unpleasant odours. Fresh and comfortable! Dust on filter after one year Without filter cleaning With auto filter cleaning *Actual dust accumulation will vary depending on usage and environmental conditions. Always POWERFUL Because it maintains the same performance as when it was new, the level of power remains constant even after long periods of use. You enjoy comfortable air conditioning that reaches every corner of the room. Without filter cleaning With auto filter cleaning The air stream doesn't reach The powerful airflow reaches the corners of the room. throughout the room. •Starting temperature and humidity: 7°C, 6°C •Set temperature: 23°C •Fan speed/airflow direction: set to auto mode •After air conditioning stabilizes •Area of simulated-house testing facility: 16.5m2 The air conditioner stays in the same clean condition, with the same high-performance, as when it was first purchased. Always EFFICIENT It prevents the reduced efficiency that is caused by filter clogging, so its top-class energy-saving performance is maintained longer. It also saves on the electric bill by suppressing the wasteful use of electricity. Energy-saving comparison (After 3 years' use) Maintains energy- saving operation. With auto filter cleaning For heating Without filter cleaning Inefficient operation wastes electricity. Saves 23% Super Deluxe CS-XE9EKE/XE12EKE Automatically Traps, Vacuums and Exhausts Dust — For Clean Operation without the Cleaning Hassle Filter cleaning indication light The blue LED lights to show the operating status. Vacuum duct The vacuum duct carries the trapped dust to the outside. Air filter Original vacuum device Traps the dust from the intake air. Dust exhaust and air ventilation fan Exhaust duct Trapped dust is automatically exhausted outside. Applied formore than patents Panasonic has applied for more than 90 patents relate to auto filter cleaning technology. (As of November, 2005) Cleaning Mechanism The vacuum nozzle moves to trap the dust The nozzle automatically starts cleaning the filter after each use. The cumulative operating time is used to determine how much of the filter needs to be cleaned. The entire filter is cleaned when the operating time reaches 36 hours. *The timer can also be set to start cleaning at a certain time. Pad: The brush rubs dust from the filter. A durable, wear-resistant silicon foam material is used. Suction port: The rubbed off dust is vacuumed. 1 1 22 The exhaust duct discards the dust outdoors automatically The dust goes through the vacuum duct to be exhausted. This is done automatically, so you don't have to do a thing. And only a small amount of dust is exhausted each time. The vacuum duct vacuums the dust The pad on the nozzle rubs the dust from the filter mesh, and the trapped dust is then vacuumed and exhausted through the vacuum duct. 1 2 3 The filter surface is divided into 12 blocks to ensure thorough cleaning.
