An Ionizer purifies indoor air by degrading and sterilizing odors coming from an A/C or outside.
When an A/C or heater is on, the system circulates the following order of operation modes every 15 minutes starting with 'CLEAN MODE': CLEAN MODE →ION MODE →CLEAN MODE.
The 'CLEAN MODE' is a status in which the Ionizer breaks down odor coming from the A/C and outside, sterilizes harmful substances, and purifies indoor air by creating a plus ion and minus ion. When the component is in 'CLEAN MODE', an upper lamp will illuminate.
The 'ION MODE' is a status in which the Ionizer generates minus ions to purify air. When the component is in 'ION MODE', a lower lamp will illuminate.
