Before Operating Your Unit
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that
the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating listed in figure 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the wall plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced
by a certified electrician with a grounded circuit that meets all national and local codes and ordinances. You
must use the three-prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.
Figure 1
For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency
Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 6.
Provide good airflow
Make sure that the airflow into and out of the unit is unobstructed. (both indoors and outdoors)
Maximum airflow is critical for peak performance. Your air conditioner blows air out of the top of the unit
and takes in air at the bottom of the unit.
Unit Placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the
unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also
add to your unit's efficiency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather
stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.

control.
2. Insert two batteries.
• Be sure that the (+) and (-) directions are correct.
• Be sure that both batteries are new.
3. Re-attach the cover.
• Do not use rechargeable
batteries. Such batteries

TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.
• TO CLEAN FILTER
The air filter will become dirty as it removes
dust from the inside air.
It should be washed at least every 2 weeks.
If the air filter remains full of dust, the air
flow will decrease and the cooling capacity
will be reduced, possibly damaging the unit.
1. Pull the inlet grille forward and pull out the
air filter. (Fig. 1)
2. Wash the air filter in warm water.
Be sure to completely dry the filter before
placing it back into the unit.
• CLEANING THE AIR CONDITIONER
The front grille and inlet grille may be wiped with a
cloth dampened in a mild detergent
and lukewarm
water solution. (Fig. 2)
The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water.
To ensure continued peak efficiency, the outdoor
coil (condensor coil) should be checked
periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or
dirt from the atmosphere.
Consult a certified Friedrich service agent for more information.
• HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT GRILLE
1. Pull the inlet grille forward.
2. Remove the screw securing the Front Grille. (Fig. 3)
3. Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top of the
grille away from the case to lift the top tabs out of their
slots. (Fig. 4)
4. Carefully position the grille, bottom first, and snap back into
place.
5. Reposition the screw that secures the front grille and replace
the knobs.
Do not force open
or open too far

NOTE: All supporting parts should be firmly secured to wood, or metal.
1. This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths of
22" to 36". The upper and lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 14"
from the bottom of the sash to the window sill.
2.If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip (OUTER SILL) to the inner
window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height
of the window sill so that the unit can be installed without interference by the storm window frame.
See Fig. 5-2. Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher than the storm window frame
(STORM WINDOW FRAME) or wood strip (OUTDOORS) to help condensation to drain properly to
the outside.
3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 1
1
/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in
the center of the outer sill flush against the back off the inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as
shown Fig. 5-2.
4. If the distance between STORM WINDOW FRAME and WOOD STRIP MOUNTED ON TOP OF
INNER SILL is more than 1", two of wood strip are not necessary.

Electrical Safety
Electrical Data
115V~
Power cord includes a current interrupter device.
A test and reset button is provided on the plug case.
The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first
pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button.
If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will
not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner
and contact a qualified service technician.
Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards , we strongly discourage the use of an extension cord. However,
if you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA certified/UL-listed3-wire (grounding) extension cord, rated 15A,
125V.
All wiring should be made in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.
Aluminum house wiring may pose special problems. Consult a qualified electrician.
NOTICE

Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting Tips save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for
service.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
■ The air conditioner is
unplugged.
■ The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
■ Power failure.
■ Airflow is restricted.
■ The THERMOSTAT may
not be set high enough.
■ The air filter is dirty.
■ The room may have been
hot.
■ Cold air is escaping.
■ Cooling coils have iced up.
■ Ice blocks the air flow and
stops the air conditioner
from cooling the room.
• Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
• If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to Off.
When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the
front of the air conditioner.
• Push temperature setting button to coolest temperature setting of
60°F.
• Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks.
See the operating instructions section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to allow time
for the room to cool down.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
• Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.
• See Air Conditioner Freezing Up below.
• Set the mode control on high fan until the ice thaws
out.

Normal Operation
• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser
on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve
efficiency.
• 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.
• Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above
60°F(16°C) and below 115°F(46°C).
