WARNING: Beforeoperatingyourunit
Nake surethe wiringisadequatefor yourunit.
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.
DONOTuse anextensioncord.
Tile cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical
power to the unit. An extension cord will not.
Nake surethat the receptacleiscompatiblewith
the air conditionercordplugprovided.
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. Under no
circumstances should you remove the ground prong from
the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner.
920-061-05(10-04)
Test the power cord
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from tile
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 lhils to trip when tested or if the power supply cord
is damaged it must be replaced with a new supply cord lh)m
the manuthcturer. We recommend you contact our Technical
Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645 ext. 662. To expedite
service, please have your model and serial number available.

Keepthe 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 5.
Providegoodairflow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your
air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top of the
uniL 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 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.

Function control

The dial control allows you to select cooling at four different
speeds, as well as FAN ONLY.
Turn to OFF to turn everything oft:
Turn to HI COOL for quick cooling.
Turn to MED COOL to maintain a desired temperature.
Turn to LO COOL when demand is low.

Figure 3
Turn to SLEEP SETTING for night time use, or when
demand is low.
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. This is especially useful in the spring and thll when
cooling may not be necessary.
Temperature control
This dial is the thermostat. Turn it clockwise for cooler and
counterclockwise for warmer.
NoneySaver®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. This control will only operate when the unit is
in a COOLING mode. In the NO position, the fan will run
constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling mode.

Removingand cleaningthe fiRer/ freshair and exhaustfeature
Toremove,washand replacefilter and returnair grille
Open tile return air (RA) grille by grasping it at tile 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 dosing 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 when removing the filter. The internal metal
components are sharp.
If the RA grille has been removed, pick up the grille by
supporting it from both sides near the bottom (See Figure
5, Note l). Lift return air grille and insert the grille's 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).
Freshair and exhaust control
Your air conditioner has tile ability to bring fresh air into tile
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 after a
social gathering involving smokers, or to remove odors
after cooking.

Troubleshootingtips
920-061-05(10-04)
Won't cool?
If 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 dosed.
Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to
installation instructions).
Won't run?
Make sure tile 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.
Condensationis normal
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. Friedrich QuietMaster ®
units operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner
mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window.
If mounted in a window, the window mounting kit provided
with the QuietMaster models will reduce operating sound
levels, when properly installed. 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 liquid 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.
