(54) Indoor unit of wall-mounted air conditioner


(57) The present invention provides an indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner comprising a housing including a front cover. A close decorative panel instead of a suction grill unit is fitted on a front side of the front cover, and air inlet ports are disposed at upper and lower sides of the close decorative panel. In this arrangement, a plurality of long narrow grills arrayed in the front suction grill unit of a conventional indoor unit are replaced by a smooth close decorative panel, and air is sucked into the indoor unit from inlet ports disposed at the upper and lower sides of the close decorative panel. With this construction, dust is not likely to be accumulated on the decorative panel and can be easily cleaned, thus preventing air laid with dust from entering into the indoor unit.
