Abstract
An air conditioner includes a suction panel including a suction grille that defines a suction port configured to receive air, an heat exchanger and a fan that are positioned within the case, and an ion generator disposed in the suction panel and configured to generate ions in the air received through the suction port. The suction panel defines an installation groove recessed from an upper surface of the suction panel and configured to receive the ion generator therein. The ion generator is accommodated inside the installation groove and configured to provide ions toward the upper surface of the suction panel in an upward direction that defines a preset angle with respect to the suction panel.
