LG KNUAB121A Features
LG's devotion to providing efficient ductless solutions can be seen across the Multi F line of indoor units. Their Standard line of wall mounted mini split units are the perfect blend of versatility and capability for nearly any application. Quiet operations and a clean design make the unit a smart addition for all types of spaces from bedrooms to living rooms to garages. With a variety of operating modes and helpful functions, this well-rounded mini split indoor unit is an easy choice for any system.
- Built-In Wi-Fi
- Jet Temperature Control
- Sleep Mode
Enhanced Connectivity
LG's new R-32 mini split units require a 5-conductor cable (Not Included) instead of the standard 4-conductor, improving communication reliability and enabling a new leak detection feature.
Air Flow Options
This unit gives you two options for automating air flow. In Swing Mode, the unit will rotate through all four air flow directions to ensure consistent comfort in every corner of your room.
Quiet Design
The unit can operate at volumes as low as 27 dB thanks to a combination of cutting edge components. LG utilizes a cross flow fan design that reduces noise levels by limiting the surface pressure of air flow.
Self-Cleaning Coil
The unit features a self-cleaning heat exchanger coil that automatically removes dirt and moisture. This helps to prevent unpleasant odors and to combat the formation of mold.
Automated Operation
Auto operation mode continually compares your zone's current and desired temperatures and uses that data to intelligently adjust the unit's fan speed and refrigerant flow to provide optimal comfort.
Dehumidify
LG's indoor units include a dehumidifying operation mode. In this mode, the unit's internal sensors monitor temperature and modify the set point and fan speed to remove moisture from the air.
Improved Air Quality
The unit uses a dual filtration system to keep your air clean. A washable anti-fungal filter protects against dust and bacteria, while a 3M Micro Protection Filter captures microscopic irritants for pristine air quality.
Hot-Start
When the Hot-Start function is enabled, the unit's fan will not engage until the outdoor condenser has had the opportunity to warm the indoor coil. This prevents the unit from blowing cold air during heating operations.
