<p>Disclosed is an air conditioner including a case having an air inlet and an air outlet formed therein, a fan mounted in the case, an air cleaner mounted to the case, a cleanness sensor for sensing cleanness of air introduced to the air inlet at set intervals, and a control unit for controlling the air cleaner in a stabilization mode in which the air cleaner is turned on, if the present value sensed at the cleanness sensor in middle of an initial set time period is lower than a recent value sensed at the cleanness sensor, and controlling the air cleaner in a general cleaning mode in which the air cleaner is turned on, if the present value sensed at the cleanness sensor after the initial set time period is passed is lower than a set value, thereby permitting for the air cleaner to minimize power consumption while maintaining room air comfortable.</p> |
