Abstract

A front panel (2) has a suction opening (3) and is installed on a front surface of the body (1) of the air conditioner accommodating a fan and a heat exchanger. The front panel (2) has a front panel body (5) and a separable member (6) that can be cut off from the front panel body (5) to take out the drain hose (4) to the outside. The separable member 6 has a sealing portion (7) that extends from a portion thereof in contact with the body (1) and can be fixed to the body (1) with a screw (12) and a hose-corresponding portion (8) forming a hole (9) into which the drain hose (4) is inserted when the hose-corresponding portion (8) is cut off from a front end of the sealing portion (7). Thus, indoor air is prevented from being sucked into the body (1) of the air conditioner from a drain hose (4) insertion portion and the front panel (2) is allowed to be removably installed on the body (1) of the air conditioner, with keeping the drain hose (4) connected with the body. <IMAGE>
