WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure your electrical receptacle has the same configuration as your air conditioner’s plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.
Do not use plug adapters. Do not use an extension cord. Do not remove ground prong.
Always plug into a grounded 3 prong oulet. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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 Table 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord may not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air conditioner cord plug provided.
Proper grounding must be maintained at all times. Two prong receptacles
The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes and ordinances. You must use the three prong plug furnished with the air conditioner. Under no circumstances should you remove the ground prong from the plug.
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 on the end of the cord meets the UL and NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners.
To test your power supply cord:
1.Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2.Press RESET (See Figure 1).
3.Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
4.Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches and remains in). The power cord is ready for use.
NOTICE
Do not use the LCDI device as an ON/OFF switch.
Failure to adhere to this precaution may cause premature equipment malfunction.
Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the LCDI device. If the LCDI device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power supply cord from the manufacturer. Contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645. To expedite service, please have your model number available.

NewKühlControlOptions
The new Kühl gives you a variety of options for control, programming, and scheduling including wireless capabilities
Wireless Programming and Control:
. The new FriedrichLink™ Adapter (sold seperately) allows you to conviently control, program and monitor your air conditioning unit remotely from a smartphone or computer.
FriedrichLink™ Adapter accessory available through Friedrich authorized retailers or www.friedrich.com. See FriedrichLink™ Adapter section on www.friedrich.com for complete details.
Pre-Programmed Scheduling Options:
Your unit’s digital control comes equipped with a 24-hour timer and two preprogrammed 7-day energy management options.
24-Hour Timer
The 24-hour timer allows you to turn the unit off and on at pre-set times by setting an on and off time on the unit control panel. (See page 12 for details on timer set-up.)
Pre-programmed Energy Management
Your unit comes from the factory with two (2) Pre-programmed Energy Management settings are shown in Addendum 1 (Residential & Commercial Schedule Table).
Energy Management Schedule Options are:
1.Residential Schedule – 40 Hr. Work Week
2.Commercial Schedule – 5-Day Business Week
The “Residential” (40 Hr. Work Week) Schedule has four (4) time periods: 06:00, 08:00, 18:00, and 22:00. This option will cause your Kühl Q unit to raise the room temperature temporarily to 85°F during the hours when most people are away at work, lower them again to 78°F prior to the time when most people will return home, and then raise slightly to 82°F to maintain a comfortable temperature overnight.
The “Commercial” (5-Day Business Week) Schedule has two (2) time periods: 07:00 and 18:00. This option will cause your air conditioner to raise temperatures to 84°F after typical working hours and on weekends when commercial spaces are typically unoccupied.
(See Control Panel Operation Instructions Section)
Customizable Programming Options:
Customizable schedules, with up to four temperature adjustments per day, can either be uploaded to the unit via the air conditioner’s built-in micro USB interface or conveniently transmitted wirelessly using the new FriedrichLink™ Adapter accessory, greatly simplifying the programming of one or multiple units.
See Figure 9.
