Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3076096A1] During operation of an indoor unit, the inside of a casing is easily seen while a front panel is moving away from the front surface of the casing, and hence the appearance of the indoor unit is deteriorated. An indoor unit of the present invention includes a casing 5 and a front panel 7 provided forward of the casing 5 and movable away from the front surface of the casing 5. The front surface of the casing 5 (the front surface of a front grill 6) is curved at around its ends in the longitudinal direction so that the thickness of the indoor unit increases toward a central part in the longitudinal direction. The front panel 7 is curved so that its central part protrudes forward and includes extension parts 71 which extend outward as compared to the ends of the front surface of the casing 5 (the front surface of the front grill 6).
