WARNING: Before Operating Your Unit

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 outlet. 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 must be replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certified electrician.

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

Standard Filter Cleaning / Installation Instructions

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR AIR FILTER

Your Friedrich room air conditioner is equipped with a permanent/ washable mesh air filter. The filter serves to remove dust, pollen, and other impurities from the air.

CHECK FILTER LIGHT

Your Friedrich room air conditioner is equipped with a check filter light that will illuminate after *45– 60 days of fan operation.

To reset the CHECK FILTER reminder press the CHECK FILTER button. (While the reminder is set for 45– 60 days of operation, we recommend checking the filter every 30 days for optimal performance.)

*Actual timer is set for 1000 hours of fan cycle operation.

FILTER ACCESS

Remove the FRONT PANEL. Using the handles, pull panel out until it is released from the two retaining snaps. Place the cover aside carefully. Remove the filter by pulling it from the handles releasing it from the slots on the frame. Wash the filter with water to remove all dust and then rinse, remove water excess and let it dry –do not twist – then replace the filter by inserting each tab in their respective slot.

Replace the FRONT PANEL by positioning one of the sides in the snaps of the handle first and then the other side, make sure that both snaps are correctly aligned and the logo is in the right position.
