Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

All wiring should be done in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.

NOTE : Aluminum house wiring may pose special problems. Consult a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on its power supply cord, which must be plugged into properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock.

FUSE – Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. Refer to the nameplate for proper power supply requirements.

208/230 VOLT UNITS

These units are equipped with a three-prong grounding plug on the power supply cord, which must be plugged in to a matching, properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock hazard. If such an outlet is not present, one must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

Instrucitons Operating

Operating Instructions

Additional controls and important information.

Ventilation Control

Push the lever to the "CLOSE" position to cool, heat or recirculate room air only.

Pull the lever to the "OPEN" position to exhaust smoke or stale air from the room.

This feature is best used in conjunction with the FAN ONLY position.

Air Direction

The direction of air can be controlled by adjusting the horizontal and vertical louvers.

• HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL

The horizontal air direction is adjusted by moving the vertical louver. The lever for the vertical louver is located in the right and left side of the air discharge.

• VERTICAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL

The vertical air direction is adjusted by moving the horizontal louver.

Inserting the Remote Control Batteries

1.Remove the cover from the back of the remote controller.

2.Insert two batteries.

Be sure that the (+) and (–) directions are correct.

Be sure that both batteries are new.

3.Reattach cover.

Do not use rechargeable batteries. Make sure that both batteries are new.

In order to prevent discharge, remove the batteries from the remote control if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period of time

Keep the remote control away from extremely hot or humid places. To maintain optimal operation of the remote control, the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

Care and Maintenance

TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and can also cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

If the filter becomes torn or damaged you should replace it immediately. Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, dealer, and authorized customer service centers.

1. Open the inlet grille downward by grasping the top outside edges of the inlet grille and pulling it towards you.

2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up slightly.

3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

4. Gently shake all excess water from the filter.

Make sure the filter is completely dry and replace the filter back into the unit.

How to Attach Front Grille to Cabinet

The front grille can be removed for cleaning or to check the model and serial numbers. For your safety, you should attach the front grille using the following procedures.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Installing the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve ensures optional performances of the unit.

If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall sleeve. Refer to FIG. 8 on p14. The use of pliers is recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run the risk of poor performance or premature product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the FRIEDRICH warranty.

Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air to blow into the area you want. Good installation with special attention to the proper position of the unit will lessen the chance that service will be needed.

3 Fasten the 4 washer screws to secure the grille to the wall sleeve. If you need plastic nuts to mount plastic grille to the inside of the wall sleeve, there are plastic nuts in the installation kit. The nuts are installed from the inside of the sleeve and are pressed into the square holes of the rear flanges. Fasten the bracket to the upside of the wall sleeve using the washer screw.

Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.

Normal Operation

You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.

You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.

The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
