The Panasonic CS-MTZ16CKE is a 1.6kW wall-mounted indoor unit from the TZ super-compact range, the smallest-output model in the entire line-up and built specifically for multi-split use. nanoe X air purification is built in as standard, working continuously to help keep the room's air cleaner.
Unlike the rest of the TZ range, the CS-MTZ16CKE has no dedicated single outdoor unit — it is designed to be used exclusively as one zone on a Free Multi Z multi-split system, such as the CU-2Z41CBE, CU-3Z52CBE, or CU-3Z68CBE. This makes it a strong fit for the smallest room on a multi-zone project, such as a box room, ensuite, or utility space.
Important: F-Gas Qualified Installation Required
This indoor unit operates with R32 refrigerant circulated from its outdoor unit, and falls under F-Gas Regulations. Installation and commissioning must be carried out by an F-Gas certified engineer. See the certification form above before ordering.
Please Note: Multi-Split Only — No Dedicated Outdoor Unit
Unlike other TZ indoor units, the CS-MTZ16CKE cannot be run on a dedicated single outdoor unit. It is designed exclusively for use on a Free Multi Z multi-split outdoor unit — confirmed pairings include the CU-3Z52CBE and CU-3Z68CBE. Confirm the total combined indoor capacity on any multi-split system stays within the outdoor unit's rated range before ordering.
Good to Know: What nanoe X Does
nanoe X generates hydroxyl radicals that are released into the room to help inhibit airborne pollutants, certain bacteria and viruses, and odours, working continuously alongside the heating or cooling function or independently when the unit is in standby.
Smallest Output in the TZ Range
At 1.6kW nominal cooling, the CS-MTZ16CKE is sized for the smallest rooms on a multi-zone project — box rooms, ensuites, and utility spaces that don't need a full-size zone.
Super-Compact Cabinet
At just 290mm high, 765mm wide, and 214mm deep, the TZ super-compact cabinet suits tight spaces, including the limited wall space above a door.
nanoe X Air Purification Built In
Continuous release of hydroxyl radicals works to inhibit airborne pollutants and odours as standard, with no separate filter cartridge to replace.
Built-In Wi-Fi Control
Integrated Wi-Fi connects directly to the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app for remote scheduling and control, and the unit is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice control.
Ultra-Quiet Operation
Drops to as low as 20 dB(A) in quiet mode, making it a strong fit for bedrooms and other spaces where background noise from air conditioning would otherwise be noticeable.
A++ Energy Efficiency
Rated A++ for both cooling and heating on the current European energy label scale, keeping running costs low even as the smallest zone on a larger system.

Does the CS-MTZ16CKE include an outdoor unit?
No. This listing is for the indoor unit only. Unlike other TZ indoor units, it has no dedicated single outdoor unit and must be paired with a Free Multi Z multi-split outdoor unit.
Can the CS-MTZ16CKE be run on its own outdoor unit?
No. This is a multi-split only indoor unit — there is no single-split outdoor unit designed to pair with it. It must be used as one zone on a compatible multi-split outdoor unit such as the CU-3Z52CBE or CU-3Z68CBE.
What is nanoe X and does it need maintenance?
nanoe X is Panasonic's air purification technology, which releases hydroxyl radicals into the room to help inhibit pollutants, certain bacteria and viruses, and odours. It runs continuously with the unit and does not require a separate filter cartridge to be replaced.
What size room is this unit suitable for?
At 1.6kW nominal cooling, the CS-MTZ16CKE is the smallest-output model in the TZ range, best suited to box rooms, ensuites, and utility spaces — typically the smallest zone on a multi-room project.
How quiet is this unit in normal use?
The CS-MTZ16CKE is rated for ultra-quiet operation as low as 20 dB(A) in quiet mode, making it well suited to bedrooms.
Does installation need to be carried out by a certified engineer?
Yes. As the system circulates R32 refrigerant, installation must be carried out by an F-Gas certified engineer. We require evidence of certification before shipment.
