Safety Precautions

When the air filter is to be removed, do not touch the metal parts of the unit.

They are sharp and may cause an injury.

Do not put a pet or house plant where it will be exposed to direct air flow.

This could harm the pets or plants.

Do not apply an insecticide or flammable spray.

It may cause a fire or deformation of the cabinet.

CAUTIONI

Do not clean the air conditioner with water.

Water may enter the unit and degrade the insulation. It may cause an electric shock.

Do not use for special purposes.

When the unit is to be cleaned, switch off, and turn off the breaker.

Since the fan rotates at high speed during operation, it may cause an injury.

Do not operate switches with wet hands.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on its power supply cord, which must be plugged into properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock hazard.

FUSE – Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. Refer to the nameplate for proper power supply requirements.

208, 230, and 208/230 VOLT UNITS

These units are equipped with a three-prong grounding plug on the power supply cord, which must be plugged into a matching, properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock hazard. If such an outlet is not present, one must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

About the Controls on the Air Conditioner

The controls will look like one of the following:

Controls – Cooling Only Models

About the Controls on the Air Conditioner

Off

- Turns air conditioner off.

Med Fan Only

- Med speed fan operation without cooling.

Low Fan Only

- Low speed fan operation without cooling.

High Cool

- Cooling with high speed fan operation.

Med Cool

- Cooling with med speed fan operation.

Low Cool

- Cooling with low speed fan operation.

This automatically controls the temperature of the indoor air.

Turn the knob clockwise for greater cooling.

Turn the knob counter-clockwise for more moderate cooling.

• FOR NORMAL COOLING

1. Turn the MODE Knob to the Med Cool setting.

2. Set the Temperature Knob to the desired temperature (the mid-point is a good starting position).

If the room temperature is not satisfactory after a reasonable time, adjust the control to a cooler or warmer setting, as appropriate.

• FOR MAXIMUM COOLING

1.Turn the MODE Knob to the High Cool setting.

2.Set the Temperature Knob to the coolest temperature setting all the way to the right.

• FOR QUIETER OPERATION

1.Turn the Operation Knob to the Low Cool setting.

2.Set the Temperature Knob as needed.

The controls will look like one of the following:

Controls – Cooling & Heating

Off

- Turns the air conditioner off.

Fan Only

- The low fan speed operation without cooling/heating.

Low Cool

- Cooling with the low speed fan operation.

High Cool

- Cooling with the high speed fan operation.

Low Heat

- Heating with the low speed fan operation.

High Heat

- Heating with the high speed fan operation.

Turn the Temperature Knob to the desired setting. The central position is a normal setting for average conditions. You can change this setting, if necessary, in accordance with your temperature preference.

The thermostat automatically controls cooling or heating, but the fan runs continuously whenever the air conditioner is in operation. If the room is too warm, turn the thermostat control clockwise. If the room is too cool, turn the thermostat control counterclockwise.

The compressor will turn on and off to keep the room at the set temperature.

In the heating operation, the electric heater will turn on and off to keep the room at the set temperature.

CAUTION

When the air conditioner has been operated in the cooling or heating mode and is turned off or set to the fan position, wait at least 3 minutes before resetting to the cooling operation again.

A slight burning odor may come from the unit when first switching to HEAT after the cooling season is over. This odor, caused by fine dust particles on the heater, will disappear quickly. This is normal operation.

About the Controls on the Air Conditioner

Air Direction

The direction of air can be controlled by adjusting the horizontal and vertical louvers.

• HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL

The horizontal air direction is adjusted by moving the vertical louver. The lever for the vertical louver is located in the right and left side of the air discharge.

• VERTICAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL

The vertical air direction is adjusted by moving the horizontal louver.

Care and Maintenance

TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and can also cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

If the filter becomes torn or damaged you should replace immediately. Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, dealer, and the authorized customer service centers.

1. Open the inlet grille downward by grasping the top outside edges of the inlet grille and pulling it towards you.

2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up slightly.

3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

4. Gently shake all excess water from the filter.

Make sure the filter is completely dry and replace the filter back into the unit.

How to Attach Front Grille to Cabinet

The front grille can be removed for cleaning or to check the model and serial numbers. For your safety, you should attach the front grille using the following procedures.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

If you use an existing wall sleeve, you should measure its dimensions.

Install the new air conditioner according to these installation instructions to achieve the best performance. All wall sleeves used to mount the new air conditioner must be in good structural condition and have a rear grille to securely attach the new air conditioner. (FIG. 1)

With the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve, you can maintain the best performance of the new air conditioner. (FIG. 2)

ELECTRICAL SERVICE

Check your available electrical service. The power supply available must be the same as that shown on the unit nameplate (found on left side of cabinet).

All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug to provide proper service and safe positive grounding. Do not change plug in any way. Do not use an adapter plug. If your present wall outlet does not match your plug, call a qualified electrician to make the necessary corrections. SAVE CARTON for storage and this OWNER'S MANUAL for future reference. The carton is the best way to store unit during winter or when not in use.

To prevent injury or strain, use proper lifting and carrying techniques when moving unit.

Carefully inspect location where air conditioner will be installed. Be sure it will support the weight of the unit over an extended period of time.

Handle air conditioner with care. Wear protective gloves whenever lifting or carrying the unit. AVOID the sharp metal fins of front and rear coils.

Make sure air conditioner does not fall during installation.

Features and Installation

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

We strongly recommend the removal of the old wall sleeve and the installation of a new FRIEDRICH USC Wall Sleeve.

If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run the risk of poor performance or premature product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the FRIEDRICH warranty.

Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air to blow into the area you want. Good installation with special attention to the proper position of the unit will lessen the chance that service will be needed.

You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.

The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
