1. Safety Precautions
1.2. During operation
Warning:
• Do not remove the front panel or the fan guard from the outdoor
unit when it is running. You could be injured if you touch rotating, hot or high-voltage parts.
• Never insert fingers, sticks etc. into the intakes or outlets, otherwise injury may result, since the fan inside the unit rotates at
high speed. Exercise particular care when children are present.
• If you detect odd smells, stop using the unit, turn off the power
switch and consult your dealer. Otherwise, a breakdown, electric
shock or fire may result.
• Do not over-cool. The most suitable inside temperature is one
that is within 5°C of the outside temperature.
• Do not leave handicapped people or infants sitting or standing in
the path of the airflow from the air-conditioner. This could cause
health problems.
Caution:
• Do not direct the airflow at plants or caged pets.
• Ventilate the room frequently. If the unit is operated continuously
in a closed room for a long period of time, the air will become
stale.
1.3. Disposing of the unit
Warning:
When you need to dispose of the unit, consult your dealer. If pipes
are removed incorrectly, refrigerant (fluorocarbon gas) may blow out
and come into contact with your skin, causing injury. Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere also damages the environment.

4.1. Operation modes
Cooling
The air conditioner works to cool the room to the selected temperature.
The fan blows air continuously at the selected speed.
Drying (dehumidifying) : Disabled in the heating mode
The drying mode efficiently reduces the humidity in the room so that the
room temperature is not lowered excessively. When the selected room
temperature is reached in the Low setting, the airflow will stop for ten
minutes and then will resume for three minutes to keep the humidity low.
Heating
• The air conditioner works to heat the room to the selected temperature.
• When selecting the heating mode, a desired room temperature must
be set to avoid any cool air. The fan will gradually increase the airflow
delivery up to a selected rate.
• When the room temperature reaches the selected temperature and
the compressor stops, the fan will deliver a gentle airflow.
Automatic (cooling / heating)
The air conditioner automatically goes into the cooling or heating mode to
keep the room at the selected temperature.

6. Care and cleaning
Keep the filters clean
Dirty or clogged filters reduce the flow of air, making the unit less efficient.
Very dirty filters may even cause damage to the unit. Remove and clean
the filters at least once a week (more often, in very dusty locations). Using
a vacuum cleaner is an ideal way to clean the filters.
Let fresh air into the room from time to time
Open the windows and ventilate the room now and then, otherwise the
room will become musty.
Eliminate heat sources
When cooling the room, draw the curtains to keep out direct sunlight. Keep
doors and windows fully closed, and avoid opening doors more often than
necessary.
Do not over-cool
The air-conditioner works most efficiently when cooling the room to a temperature within 5˚C of the outdoor temperature.
In COOL mode, for every 1˚C you increase the desired temperature setting, you will save about 10% on electricity costs.
■ PLP-2.5KC

Caution:
• Always turn off the power, first on the remote controller and then
the main switch, before cleaning or servicing the unit.
• When installing or removing the filter or front panel, do not stand
on an unsteady surface. You may fall and injure yourself. Be also
careful not to let dust fall into your eyes.

6. Care and cleaning
6.1. Cleaning the filters and the indoor unit
Cleaning the filters
• Clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum
cleaner, tap the filters against a solid object to knock off dirt and dust.
• If the filters are especially dirty, wash them in lukewarm water. Take
care to rinse off any detergent thoroughly and allow the filters to dry
completely before putting them back into the unit.
Caution:
• Do not dry the filters in direct sunlight or by using a heat source,
such as an electric heater: this may warp them.
• Do not wash the filters in hot water (above 50°C), as this may
warp them.
• Make sure that the air filters are always installed. Operating the
unit without air filters can cause malfunction.
Cleaning the indoor unit
• Wipe the outside of the unit with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
• Clean off any oil stains or finger marks using a neutral household de-
tergent (such as dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent).
Caution:
Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, scouring powder or any type
of non-neutral detergent, as these substances may damage the unit’s
case.
6.2. Care and cleaning
Clean the filter
When the A “FILTER” indicator blinks on the remote controller to alert you
to the necessity of cleaning of the filter.
∗ As a guideline for typical office environment, the long-life filter must be
cleaned every 2,500 operating hours.
Reset the FILTER indicator
1 Press the FILTER button twice after cleaning.
s When you press the FILTER button twice, the ‘FILTER’ indicator
A will be turned off and reset.
s The FILTER indicator provides you with a guideline for the neces-
sity of filter cleaning based on total operating hours in typical
indoor air conditions. Depending on different operating environments, more or less frequent cleaning may be necessary.

Replace the fuse.
Reset the ground fault breaker.
Wait until power is restored, then
press the POWER ON/OFF button
to turn the unit on.
Check the set temperature on the remote controller and the actual intake
air temperature. Use the COOLER
and WARMER buttons to set the temperature as described in “Selecting
a temperature” on page 10.
Clean the filter and resume operation. See “Cleaning the filters and
the indoor unit” on page 15.
Remove the obstruction.
Shut door or window.
Wait until the unit restarts automatically. The compressor may hesitate
resuming because a three-minute
resume prevention circuit is incorporated in the outdoor unit for protection of the compressor.
Remove obstruction and restart the

If none of the above apply, turn the main switch off and contact the dealer from whom you bought the air-conditioner, telling him the model name and the
nature of the problem. Do not try to fix the unit yourself.
In any of the following cases, turn off the main power switch and contact your local dealer for service:
• “CHECK” followed by “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, “P4”, “P5”, “P7” or “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” is displayed on the control panel.
• The switches do not work properly.
• The circuit breaker trips frequently (or the fuse blows frequently).
• Water has accidentally been splashed into the unit.
• Water leaks from the unit.
• Something is accidentally dropped into the air-conditioner.
• An unusual noise is heard during operation.
The following do not indicate any malfunction:
Odours: smells such as tobacco or cosmetic odours may persist after they have been sucked into the unit.
Sound of liquid flowing inside indoor unit: this can occur during or after operation and is simply the sound of refrigerant being circulated inside the unit.
Ticking sound coming from indoor unit: this can occur when cooling or heating has just begun or has just stopped. It is caused by the indoor unit shrinking
or expanding slightly due to the change in temperature.
The message “CENTRALLY CONTROLLED” appearing on the LCD panel: from time to time, this message may come up on the LCD panel. This does
not indicate any malfunction.
If the air conditioner operates but does not cool or heat (depending on model) the room, consult your dealer since there may be a refrigerant
leak. Be sure to ask the service representative whether there is refrigerant leakage or not when repairs are carried out.
The refrigerant charged in the air conditioner is safe. Refrigerant normally does not leak, however, if refrigerant gas leaks indoors, and comes
into contact with the fire of a fan heater, space heater, stove, etc., harmful substances will be generated.
