Keep the filter clean

Make sure that your air conditio ner is al ways in top performin g c ondit io n by cleaning the filter regularly. In struc tions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.

Provide good air flow

Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the conditioned air ou t at the top of t he unit, an d takes in unc ondit ion ed air at th e bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation. It is just as important on the outside of the build ing that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.

Unit placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall that is shaded by a tree or an oth er 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 b e a bi g he lp in ma int ainin g de sir ab le comfor t levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.

Proper installation of seal gasket

Make sure the seal gasket has been installe d pr op er ly to minim ize noi se and improve efﬁ ciency. If the seal gasket has not been installed, pleas e refer to Step 14 (page 13) of the installation instructions.

Also, if you switch fro m Cool mode to Fan Only, and switch back to COOL mode, there is a three minute delay before the compressor comes back on.

How to operate your Friedrich room air con di tion er

(QuietMaster 'K' & Heavy Duty models / Twintemp models)

To start unit

If your air conditioner is inst alled and plugge d into a properly groun ded re cep ta cle, it is ready to op er ate.

Mode control (QuietMaster ‘K’ and Heavy Duty)

The upper dial (Figure 5) allo ws you to select cooling at four dif ferent speeds, as well as Fan Only (Models S L28 and SL36 only have thre e cooling speeds.).

Off - to turn the unit off. High Cool - for quick cooling. Medium Cool - to maintain a de sired temperature. Low Cool - when cooling demand is low. Sleep Setting - for nighttime use, or when cooling demand is low. Fan Only - to circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.

The Fan Only setting can also be used with the Exhaust air set ting 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. This is especially useful in the spring and fall

when cooling may not be nec es sary. The Fresh Air and Exhaust controls are in the upper air discharge area. The center po si tion of this control is the normal, or closed position, which recirculates air for maximum performance

in the cool ing mode (See Figure 9).

Mode control (Twintemp)

This dial allows you to selec t cooling or heat ing at three diff erent s pe eds, as well as Fan Only (Figure 6).

Off - to turn the unit off. High Cool or High Heat - for quick re sponse. Medium Cool or Medium Heat - to main tain a de sired temperature. Low Cool or Low Heat - for nighttime use, or when demand is low. Fan Only - to circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.

The Fan Only set ting can also be used with the Exhaust air set ting to re move stale air or smoke from the room, or it can be used with the Fresh Air setting to brin g out sid e air into th e ro om, e s p e cial ly in the spring an d

fall when cool ing isn’t nec es sary. The Fresh Ai r and Exhaust con tro ls are in t he up per air discharge area

(see Figure 9, page 7). The cen ter position of this control is the normal, or closed po si tio n, which re cir cu lates air for max i mum pe r for manc e in the cool ing mode.

NOTE: Yo u may notice an odor w hen ﬁ rst ac ti vat ing the heat when the electric he at el e ment c omes o n. This is due to dust b urnin g of f that may

have gath ered on the coil during the sum mer. This is normal.

Temperature control

The bottom dial on t he co ntrol p anel is th e ther mostat . Turn it clock wise

for cooler temperature 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 eco nom i cal operation. Both the fan and com pres sor

will cy cle on and off to geth er, main tain ing th e se lect ed tem per a ture at a more con stant lev el and re duc ing the hu mid i ty more ef ﬁ cient ly in the cooling mode. This control will only op er ate when the unit is in cooling or heating mode. In the No position, the fan will run con stant ly as long as the unit is

in the cooling or heat ing mode.

NOTE: The YS09 is a 115 volt model and does not p rovide adequate heat

below 37°F (3°C). This prod uct is designed for war m climate ap pli ca t ions.

Care and Maintenance / Fresh air and exhaust control

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 7). The R A gri lle will st ay open until it is detached or closed (it is easier to completely detach the grille before closing it). To remove the RA grille, grasp it at the bottom and pull towards you.

The ﬁ lter is held in place by two spring clips (See Figure 7). Push down on the clips, grasp the ﬁ lter and pull towards you to remove it for cleaning. Clean with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, dry comp l etely and r e p lace. Use caution when removing the ﬁ lter. The coil surface can be sharp.

If the RA grille has been removed, pick up the grille by supporting it from both sides near the bottom (See Figure 8, Note 1). Lift return air grille and insert the grille's tabs into the bottom slots of the discharge air plenum (See Figure 8, Note 2). Snap the grille into place by pushing the grille up and onto the unit's latches at the bottom (See Figure 8, Notes 3 and 4).

Fresh air and exhaust control

Your air con di tion er has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or ex haust stale air out of the ro om. The co n trol le ver is found on the upper pa rt of the unit (See Fig ure 9).

TO BRING IN FRESH AIR - Move the lever to the Fresh Air position which allows outside air to enter the r oom. Th is is useful in f all and spr ing as a means of bringing in fresh outside air when using Fan Only. It can also be used in the summer with the com pres sor in the Cool ing Mode if you wish. Normally, for most ef ﬁ cient operation, coolin g is ac com plished wit h 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 es pe cial ly handy in the spring or fall when indoor air tends to get stale, or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to re move odors after cooking.

Read This First! Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check local electrical codes and the information below.

Your air conditioner must be connected to a p ower supp ly wit h th e sam e A.C. voltage and hertz as marked on the data plate located on the chassis. Only alternating current (A.C.), can be used. Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used. Refer to page 3 for the correct type of receptacle for your model.

CIRCUIT PROTECT ION - USE ON SINGLE OUTLET CIRCUIT ONLY. An over load ed circ uit will in var i ably cause mal func tion or fail ure of an air con di tion er, there fore, it is nec es sary that the electrical pro tec tion is ad e quate. Due to mo men tary high cur rent de mand when your air con di tion er is start ed, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.

STEP 13 When po ssible, caulk the outside of the install ation with

industrial type caulking to prevent weath er leaks.

STEP 14 INSTALL CHASSIS – After installing the shell, slide the chassis

into the shell stopping approximately 3" from full insertion. Stuff

the chassis seal gasket one inch deep between the chassis and the shell (see Figure I). Begin at either bottom corner and

go up the side, across the top, and down the opposite side. Then push the chassis all the way into the shell for the remaining distance so that the plastic front meets the front edge of the shell.

If chassis seal gasket is not installed, the operation of the unit

will be negatively af fected. Operational no ise and outside noise will also be ampliﬁ ed.

STEP 15 Reattach the chassis retainer wire with the same screw as in

Step 3 (See Figure A).
