Meet the Auto Cleaning Robot.
It automatically cleans the filter to
keep the performance just like new.
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.

Cleaning Mechanism
Why does the filter have to be cleaned?
Filter cleaning
indication light
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.
Problems Caused by Filter Clogging
The filter works to trap airbone dust. When the filter is not
cleaned regularly, dust can accumulate and clog it.

Auto Filter Cleaning Operation Patterns
Comparison of Mould Growth
A dirty filter is a natural breeding ground for mould and
house mites. Their growth can be greatly reduced by
keeping the filter clean.
In the normal setting mode (non-timer)
Cleaning automatically starts after each operation.
The number of round-trip is determined based on
the cumulative operating time.
In the timer setting mode
Cleaning starts at the set time everyday.
* If the air conditioner has not been used for more than 30 minutes since it
was cleaned, the cleaning operation will not be done at the preset time.
With the AC Robot, heating performance is maintained even after long
use. On the other hand, the power is reduced without filter cleaning.

What’s “Allergen”?
When allergens enter the body,
they cause allergy symptoms due to an antigen-antibody reaction
that occurs as the body tries to combat them.
Pressing the Powerful button cools or heats the room quickly. It provides
fast comfort, with full power and a strong airflow. This is perfect for use
immediately after coming home, or when unexpected guests arrive.
Simply press a button to reduce the indoor unit operating sound by about 3 dB.
This function is especially convenient for operation near a sleeping baby.
You can ventilate the room by simply pressing the remote control button.
Dirty air is carried outside to keep the room fresh and clean.

Inverter Performance –
The Difference
in Power and Comfort
WHAT'S AN INVERTER?
An inverter is a type of power conversion circuit that electronically regulates
the voltage, current, and frequency of a device. In an inverter air conditioner,
this circuit controls the revolutions of the
compressor — and hence the air
conditioner’s output. Raising the frequency
increases the output, lowering the
frequency reduces it. In this way, inverter
air conditioners provide much finer
temperature control than non-inverter
models.
Panasonic is harnessing its industry-leading technologies to make life more comfortable.
With the slogan "Technologies that deliver new levels of comfort,"
the company is working to develop new, high-performance inverter air conditioners.
Models with PFC (power-factor corrector) circuitry reduce electrical loss from the power source,
thus increasing maximum power input.
This naturally increases the maximum air conditioner output,
so you enjoy more comfort.
START Runs at a fixed speed,
so it takes longer to reach
the comfort zone.
The room gets too cold,
then too warm.

Non-inverter air conditioner Inverter air conditioner

As soon as the an inverter air conditioner is
switched on, it provides the exact amount of
power needed to rapidly cool or heat of the
room. This enables it to reach the set
temperature in about half the time required
by non-inverter models. So you're
comfortable soon after you arrive home on
a hot summer day, or on a cold winter
morning.
For optimum use of limited energy resources, an
inverter air conditioner features an inverter
circuit providing extremely efficient operation.
Improved heat exchanger and compressor
performance, precise microcomputer control
and other
innovations further assure dramatically
boosted efficiency. So even though you get
speedy, flexible operation, you use less
electricity. What's more, low energy
consumption means operation that's more
environment-friendly than ever.
You're always comfortable with an inverter air
conditioner
. After quickly reaching the set
temperature, it finely adjusts output
power to
maintain a constant temperature.
So there are
no uncomfortable temperature swings, while
electricity is used more efficiently. Broad output
power capability also assures continued
comfort even if the number of people in a room
changes. And at maximum output,
an inverter
air conditioner
can deliver warm comfort even
in the coldest winters.

With Panasonic split air conditioner, the

by pushing a single button.
Healthy Air Quality Comfortable
Convenient
The SUPER alleru-buster filter
combines three effects in one
—anti-allergen, anti-virus, and
anti-bacteria protection — to keep room
air clean and healthful.
An inverter air conditioner provides
optimum power control, which is
impossible for conventional units.
The secret lies in the inverter circuit.
By changing the frequency of power
supply, this circuit alters the rotation
speed of the compressor, which is the
heart of the air conditioner. The result is
comfortable, economical air conditioning.
The Supersonic Air Purifying System

Random Auto Restart
All models are now safe to operate
without a starter. With the exclusive
Random Auto Restart feature, the air
conditioners automatically restart after
power failure. Its 32 different
recovery-timing patterns ensure that air
conditioners in the same building
resume one after another instead of all
at the same time. This feature helps
prevent power surges after a blackout
and walls are nearer too.
The basic piping can be extended,
allowing the outdoor unit to be installed
farther away from the
indoor unit and
providing greater
installation flexibility.
*The graph refers to the CS-V18EKR. *Extendable length varies
by model. *If the piping is extended past the basic pipe length,
there's an extra charge for additional refrigerant.

This mode circulates the air in the room,
to minimize differences in air
temperature.
Starts with cooling to dehumidify.
Then provides continuous breeze at low
frequency to keep room dry without
On the start of heating cycle and after
defrost cycle, the indoor fan will start up
once the indoor heat exchanger is warm.
Sensors measure the room and outside
temperatures periodically.
Based on these temperatures and the set
temperature, the microcomputer
determines the most suitable operating
mode as time passes.
Vertical and horizontal air flow patterns
can be combined as desired to gain the
greatest possible comfort, with
operation possible even from a distance
by remote control.
When the Automatic Operation button is
pressed, the optimum mode (cooling,
soft dry) is selected based on data from
the Intake Air Sensor. The desired
temperature setting can also be set
(Low, Normal or High).
Condensers can take a beating from
exposure to salty air, rain and other
corrosive factors. Panasonic has tripled
the life of our condensers with an
original anti-rust coating.
Maintenance of the outdoor unit used to
be quite a tedious chore, especially
when the unit was installed on a narrow
balcony or attached to the outer wall of a
high-rise building. Now, maintenance
can be performed by simply removing
the top panel, making these tasks much
quicker and easier.
Should a malfunction occur, the unit
diagnoses the problem and shows the
corresponding alphanumeric code. This
allows quicker servicing.
