WARNING: Beforeoperatingyourunit
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 air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. It 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. Under no
circumstances should you remove the ground prong from
the plug. You must use the three-prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner.
920-003-I0 (4-05)
Testthe powercord
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from the
factory with aLeakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI)
equipped power cord. The LCDI de/ice meets the UL and
NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners
effective August 2004.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (See Figure 2).
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button trips and
pops out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button
latches and remains in). The power supply cord is ready
for operation.
NOTE: LCDI device is not intended to be used as a
switch.

Keepthe filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top per-
forming condition by cleaning the filter regularly. Instruc-
tions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on
page 5 and 6.
Providegoodairflow
Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear.
Your air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top
of the unit, and takes in unconditioned air at the bottom.
Airflow is critical to good operation. It is just as important
on the outside of the building that the airflow around the
unit exterior is not blocked.
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.
Properinstallationofsealgasket
Make sure the seal gasket has been installed properly to
minimize noise and improve efficiency. If the seal gasket
has not been installed, please refer to your installation
instruction manual.
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.

Heat Cool
The FAN ONLY setting will circulate air in the room
without the compressor coming on. The FAN ONLY
setting can also be used with the EXHAUST air setting to
remove stale air or smoke from the room, or it can be used
with the FRESH AIR setting to bring outside air into the
room, especially in the spring and lifll when cooling isn't
necessary.
The FRESH AIR and EXHAUST controls are in the
upper air discharge area (see Figure 6, page 5). The center
position of this control is the normal, or closed position,
which recirculates air for maximum performance in the
cooling mode.
NOTE: You may notice an odor when first activating the
heat when the electric heat dement comes on. This is due
to dust burning off that may have gathered on the coil
during the summer.
Temperature control
This dial is the thermostat. Turn itclockwise for cooler and
counterclockwise for warmer.
Money Saver ®switch
This rocker switch can be depressed to either YES or NO.
In the YES position you will get the most economical
operation. Both the tim and compressor will cycle on and
off together, maintaining the selected temperature at a more
constant levd and reducing the humidity more efficiently in
the cooling mode. This control will only operate when the
unit is in cooling or heating mode. In the NO position, the
tim will run constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling
or heating mode.

Removingandcleaningthe filter/ freshairandexhaustfeature
To remove, wash and replace filter and return air grille
Open the return air (RA) grille by grasping it at the top
outside edges and pulling towards you (See Figure 4). The
RA grille will stay open until it is detached or closed (it is
easier to completely detatch the grille before closing it).
To remove the RA grille, grasp it at the bottom and pull
towards you.
The filter is held in place by two spring clips (See Figure 4).
Push down on the clips, grasp the filter and pull towards you
to remove it for cleaning. Clean with warm water and a mild
detergent, rinse, dry completely and replace. Use caution
wfien removhlg tile filter. Tile hlternal metal components
are sfiarp.
If the RA grille has been removed, pick up the grille by
supporting it from both sides near the bottom (See Figure 5,
Note 1). Lilt return air grille and insert the grillds tabs into
the bottom slots of the discharge air plenum (See Figure 5,
Note 2). Snap the grille into place by pushing the grille up
and onto the unit's latches at the bottom (See Figure 5, Notes
3 and 4).

Fresh air and exhaust control
Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the
room and exhaust stale air out of the room. The control lever
is found on the upper part of the unit (See Figure 6).
TO BRING IN FRESH AIR - Move the lever to the FRESH
AIR position which allows outside air to enter the room.
This is useful in fall and spring as a means of bringing in
fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY. It can also be
used in the summer with the compressor in the Cooling
Mode if you wish. Normally, for most efficient operation,
cooling is accomplished with this control in the middle or
closed position.
TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR - Move the lever to the
EXHAUST position. This will allow stale air to be expelled
to the outside of the dwelling. This is especially handy
in the winter when indoor air tends to get stale, or alter
a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove odors
alter cooking.

Troubleshootingtips
920-003-10 (4-05)
Won't cool?
It your air conditioner operates, but won't cool; check to
see if the controls are properly set. Check the filter and
clean thoroughly if needed. Check to see if the vent door
is closed. Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed
(refer to installation instructions).
Won't run?
Make sure the power cord is plugged in all the way. Check
for a bad fuse, tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device.
Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset instructions and to confirm
proper fuse size.
This is a warm weather appliance
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), so it won't cool a room if it is already
cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the winter, set
the unit to Fan Only and set the Fresh Air/Exhaust control
to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of outside air.
Condensationisnormal
Air conditioners actually pump heat and humidity from
your room to the outside air. Humidity becomes water,
and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep
the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there
may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal
operation.
Frosting
This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across
the coils, a dirty filter, cool, damp weather, or all of these.
Set unit to Fan Only and the frost will disappear. Setting
the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the
frosting from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. We build them to
operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted
in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is
important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket is properly
installed (refer to installation instructions).
Cleaningyourair conditioner
The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with
warm water and a mild detergent. The indoor coil can be
vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be dirty.
The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a hose if you
can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a more
thorough cleaning when needed. The air filter should be
inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming with
a dust attachment or by cleaning in the sink using warm
water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry thoroughly
before reinstalling the filter.
Heatpumpsare differentinthewaytheyoperate
If your unit is a "Y", or heat pump model, there are some
things that you will want to be aware of.
Some functions of a heat pump differ from your unit when
it is used for cooling:
1. Itis normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the
heat pump. Moisture in the outside air, passing over
the coil when very cold, will form ice.
.
If the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20°F (-
7°C), your heat pump will automatically turn on the
electric resistance heat. When the temperature rises
to 40°F (4°C), the compressor will resume the heat
pump operation. If your unit is a 115volt model (YS09
or YQ07), it is designed for use in warmer climates
and has no electrical heat feature, and will not provide
adequate heat below 37°F(3°C).
