WARNING: 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 air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong receptacle you will need to have it replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certified electrician. The grounded receptacle should meet 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.
Test the power cord
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from the factory with a Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) equipped power cord. The LCDI device 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.
Once plugged in the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the LCDI device.
If the device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a new supply cord from the manufacturer. We recommend you contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645 ext. 845. To expedite service, please have your model and serial number available.

WHEN GREEN LIGHT IS ON
IT IS WORKING PROPERLY
Figure 2
For the best cooling performance and highest 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 7.
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.
Provide good air flow
Make sure 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.
Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or 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.
Proper installation of seal gasket
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 Step 14 (page 13) of the installation instructions.
Also, if you switch from 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 conditioner (QuietMaster Programmable)
To start unit
1If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper receptacle, it is ready to go. Touch Power button once. The unit will automatically be in Cool mode with the temperature set at 75°F (24°C) and the fan speed at F1, the sleep setting. There is a 3- minute delay before the compressor will turn on. (See "Automatic Component Protection" on this page).
2Should the Check Filter light turn on when you first turn on the unit, touch Check Filter to turn off the light. Check Filter light will come on after 250 hours of use. (See page 7 for filter cleaning instructions.) Touch Check Filter to reset.
To set mode of operation
3When you first turn on the unit, it will be in the Cool mode (light on), with constant fan.
4Touch MoneySaver® (light on) to activate the MoneySaver® feature. This cycles the fan with the compressor so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and improves dehumidification. (MoneySaver® will also run the fan to sample the return air temperature if the off cycle is too long). Or you may prefer constant fan for more air movement. To return to constant fan, touch Cool.
5Touch Fan Only (light on) if you want only the fan to run. You may want to use this feature in conjunction with the Fresh Air / Exhaust lever to bring outside air into a room, or to exhaust stale air. (See page 7, "Fresh Air and Exhaust Control" for more information.)
To adjust temperature [60°F (16°C) to 90°F (32°C)]
6COOLER – Touch 
and hold until the display shows the desired room temperature.
7WARMER – Touch 
and hold until the display shows the desired room temperature.
8FAHRENHEIT / CELSIUS – Touch ºF / ºC to show the temperature in Celsius, touch again to show Fahrenheit.
To adjust fan speed
9Touch 1-4 Speed to see current setting. Touch again to change speed. F1 is the lowest setting (SLEEP SETTING), F2 is low speed (LOW), F3 is medium speed (MED), F4 is high speed (HIGH).
To activate smart fan
10Touch Smart Fan (light on). Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired comfort level. For example, if the outside doors in your home are open for an extended period of time, or more people enter a room, Smart Fan may adjust to a higher fan speed to compensate for the increased heat load. This keeps you from having to adjust the fan speed on your own. Smart Fan cannot be activated in the Fan Only mode.
To deactivate smart fan
11 Touch 1-4 Speed, and select your desired fan speed.

How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner
(QuietMaster 'K' & Heavy Duty models / Twintemp models)
To start unit
If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a properly grounded receptacle, it is ready to operate.
Mode control (QuietMaster ‘K’ and Heavy Duty)
The upper dial (Figure 5) allows you to select cooling at four different speeds, as well as Fan Only (Models SL28 and SL36 only have three cooling speeds.).
Off - to turn the unit off. High Cool - for quick cooling.
Medium Cool - to maintain a desired 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 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. This is especially useful in the spring and fall when cooling may not be necessary. The Fresh Air and Exhaust controls are in the upper air discharge area. The center position of this control is the normal, or closed position, which recirculates air for maximum performance in the cooling mode (See Figure 9).
Mode control (Twintemp)
This dial allows you to select cooling or heating at three different speeds, as well as Fan Only (Figure 6).
Off - to turn the unit off.
High Cool or High Heat - for quick response.
Medium Cool or Medium Heat - to maintain a desired 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 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 fall when cooling isn’t necessary.
The Fresh Air and Exhaust controls are in the upper air discharge area (see Figure 9, page 7). 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 element comes on. This is due to dust burning off that may have gathered on the coil during the summer. This is normal.
Temperature control
The bottom dial on the control panel is the thermostat. Turn it clockwise 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 economical operation. Both the fan and compressor will cycle on and off together, maintaining the selected temperature at a more constant level 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 fan will run constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling or heating mode.
NOTE: The YS09 is a 115 volt model and does not provide adequate heat below 37°F (3°C). This product is designed for warm climate applications.

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 RA grille will stay 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 filter is held in place by two spring clips (See Figure 7). 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 when removing the filter. 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 conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or exhaust stale air out of the room. The control lever is found on the upper part of the unit (See Figure 9).
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 spring or fall when indoor air tends to get stale, or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove odors after cooking.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: This manual includes installation instructions for window mount and thru-the-wall mount methods. TwinTemp® heat/cool units are designed for permanent thru-the-wall installation. Mounting the unit in a window will require a window mounting accessory kit, available through your Friedrich dealer.
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 power supply with the same 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 PROTECTION - USE ON SINGLE OUTLET CIRCUIT ONLY. An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner, therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due to momentary high current demand when your air conditioner is started, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.
Refer to the electrical data plate located on the air conditioner chassis to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model (See Figure E on Page 16 for electrical receptacle location).
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong of approved type and a matching receptacle is required.
WARNING: NEVER CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG. NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS TO OPERATE AN AIR CONDITIONER.
The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups distinguished by the first two letters of the model designations and cabinet sizes listed below.

STEP 13 When possible, caulk the outside of the installation with industrial type caulking to prevent weather 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 affected. Operational noise and outside noise will also be amplified.
STEP 15 Reattach the chassis retainer wire with the same screw as in Step 3 (See Figure A).

STEP 16 OPTIONAL: The factory assembles the supply cord so that it exits the left side of the unit. At the consumer’s discretion, the supply cord can be made to exit the right side of the unit. To do this, remove the black rubber coated cord clamp from under the far left screw (See Figure I). Replace this screw back into the far left screw hole. Route the supply cord over the top of the return air grille latches and reattach the clamp to the adjacent screw hole (Figures I & J). Detach the right side cord clamp, route the supply cord through it and reattach. The supply cord should be pulled taut so as not to rest on the return air grille latches.

STEP 4 CHECKING WIRING AND PLUMBING: Check all wiring and plumbing inside and outside of the wall to be sure none will be broken where the hole is to be cut.
STEP 5 HOLE CONSTRUCTION: Depending upon size of unit to be installed, lay out the hole dimensions per the chart below. Cut and frame in hole to finished dimensions. Use 2" x 4" material for framing and follow the suggested typical installations in Figure C, D, or E.
NOTE: IF THE WALL CONSTRUCTION IS TYPICAL FRAME OR 2 x 4 STUDDING WITH BRICK OR STONE VENEERS, LOCATE THE HOLE NEXT TO ONE OF THE STUDS. FOR MASONRY, CONCRETE OR CINDER BLOCK WALLS, LOCATE HOLE FOR CONVENIENCE.
