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.

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.

Control Panel Operation
Let’s check out how to control your air conditioner. On the control panel,
just to the left of the POWER , is a liquid crystal display (LCD). All of the
control panel function buttons and mode icons can be viewed in Figure 8.
Power On – Press the
power button will illuminate to indicate the power is on. The backlight on
the power switch will automatically dim to 20% intensity after 15 seconds
of inactivity. The remote control can also be used to turn power ON / OFF
(See Remote Control).
Display –
light. The back light has an automatic two (2) step dim function. After 15
seconds of inactivity, the display dims to 20% intensity. After an additional
120 seconds, the display switches off. Touching buttons will automatically
bring the display to full brightness.
There are four control push buttons on each side of the display.
S
YSTEM Button – Allows the user to sequentially select,
, HEAT , and FAN ONLY operation. Press the button and
the display advances to the next mode. A new icon appears. At the same
time, the mode displays for two (2) seconds, then returns the display to
the temperature set point for modes other than FAN. Note that when the
heating function is not available, the system will automatically skip the
HEAT
and modes.
NOTE: After the compressor stops the fan will continue to operate for 30
seconds.
FAN MODE Button – Selects between automatic
operation. In the mode, the fan only turns on and off when the
compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.

in the display window, plus a fan speed icon (triangle) changes to indicate
the new speed level. W
hen auto is selected,
fan speed automatically varies
depending on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual
room temperature. Let me explain. Say for example you’re working in
your garage and you need to open the big door for several minutes. The
air conditioner will sense a wide difference between the set temperature
and the actual room temperature when this occurs the system fan speed
increases to MAX. The fan speed decreases (in step) as the temperature
difference decreases. When the set point temperature is reached the FAN
speed returns to the original setting.
SCHEDULE Button – The
button turns the schedule function on
and off. The current day of the week is indicated as a dot underneath
the day symbol. Pressing the
button a second time turns the
schedule function off. The schedule function comes preprogrammed with
recommended energy savings values (Addendum 1). The values may
be changed through the schedule program function (See Programmable
Thermostat).
UP and DOWN arrows – Pressing either
(UP) or (DOWN) button
changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and
upper limits are 60° F (16° C) and 99° F (37° C). These buttons are also
used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu or
Maintenance Mode.
BACK Button .detceles neeb sah meti unem a retfa desu si nottub sihT –

Whenever the compressor shuts off, system pressures must be allowed
to equalize. At this time, an internal timer begins a count-down from up to
240 seconds. If a demand for heat or cool occurs during this count-down
the WAIT icon
displays letting you know that the compressor will not
operate until the count-down has completed. This timer prevents damage
to the unit if it tries to start too quickly after it stops running. Normally the

heat or cool based on the temperature setting. Electric heat is not affected
by this timer.
Protection Alert (Freeze) – If the room freeze protection is active, the
display indicates this by showing Room Freeze Protection "FRZ". Once
temperature is less than 40° F (4° C), and the air conditioner is equipped with
electric heat, the room freeze protection will activate. The air conditioner
will run high fan and electric heat until the room temperature reaches
46° F (8° C). Pressing the

Temperature Offset – In some cases the built in thermostat on the unit
may not display the temperature as it is felt in the room. This can be caused
by many things including the size of the unit, the heat load on the room or
other factors. Friedrich allows you to select the appropriate temperature
offset to make the temperature readout as accurate as possible for your
application.
In many cases the factory 0° F (-18° C) offset will provide
an accurate temperature readout. To change the offset follow these
instructions. When TO is displayed press the

Remote Control – Refer to Figures 11 and 12 during operation description.
Getting Started – Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment
located on the back of the unit.
Operation – The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air
conditioner for operation (Refer to Figure 10 for effectiveness). Press the
button to turn the remote on. The remote will automatically power off
after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The remote must
be on to control the unit.
POWER Button – Turns remote and unit on and off.
SYSTEM Button – Allows the user to sequentially select,
HEAT , and FAN ONLY operation. When the button is pressed, the
Note that when the heating function is not available, the system will
automatically skip the HEAT and AUTO modes.
FAN MODE Button – Selects between automatic (
operation. In the AUTO mode, the fan only turns on and off when the
compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.
NOTE: AUTO is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display
indicates

temporarily displayed in the display window, plus a fan speed icon (triangle)
changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies
depending on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual
room temperature. Let me explain. Say for example you’re working in
your garage and you need to open the big door for several minutes. Since
there is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room
temperature the system fan speed increases to MAX. It remains at this
speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.

Remote Effectiveness
Hand Held Remote – Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared
remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to
the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to "bounce"
off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram
below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room
with 8 ft high ceilings.

can be directed left, right, up or down in order to achieve the most optimum
move it in the direction that you would like the air to be directed. Please
louvers than the other.
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 slide is found on the upper part of
the unit (See Figure 13).
TO BRING IN FRESH AIR – Move the lever to the Fresh Air
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.
TO EXHAUST IN DOOR 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 cooking
odors.
BEST PERFORMANCE – Move the lever to the Re-Circulate Position
position

Installation Instructions
READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements
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.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same
alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name
plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.)
cannot be used.
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 the air conditioner starts, use a
"TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer
or power company if in doubt.
Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis
(See page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage
for your model (See Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching
receptacle is required.
The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups
sizes listed in Table 3.
