WELCOME to years of economical comfort

Your new Friedrich Room Air Conditioner has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable, efficient operation, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Many extra features have been built into your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner to assure quiet operation, greatest circulation of cool, dry air, most flexible selection of function controls, and high economy of operation.

There are many things you can do in and around your home to save more money - and even increase the efficiency and long life of your Friedrich unit. Here are a few examples:

1.How to Set Thermostat: When you first turn on your air conditioner, select the highest fan speed and set the thermostat to its coldest position to cool the room. When the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat control toward "warmer" until the compressor goes off. The thermostat will then cause the compressor to go on and off to maintain this selected temperature. You can adjust the fan speed for optimum air circulation.

2.Do not block the flow of air to and from the unit - make sure the louvers are directed to give even distribution of air throughout the room. Caution: If air is obstructed and/or deflected back into the air conditioner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.

3.Adequate insulation - walls, ceilings, and below floors - can save up to 50% of the cost of cooling in most areas of the country.

4.Caulking: in well insulated homes, air leaks around doors, windows, lighting and plumbing fixtures can account for as much as 30% of the load on heating and cooling systems. See that all these areas are well caulked.

5.Install weather stripping (metal is preferable to felt) around exterior doors and windows.

6.Have a fireplace? Be sure the damper is closed during air conditioner operation.

7.When it’s time to reroof or repaint the outside of your home, choose light colors. They reflect heat instead of absorbing it.

8.Shade your outside walls (especially on the west) from the direct sun; most importantly, shade the unit itself Trees and shrubs provide natural shading, but make sure they don’t block the air flow around the unit. If natural shade isn’t present, awnings are the best solution for shading the unit and the windows. Also, avoid areas where too much dust or pollen would be drawn into the air conditioner.

9.Inside the house, use blinds, screens, or drapes on windows exposed to the sun. They will reduce your cooling needs. (Lined or insulated draperies will also help cut heating costs in winter).

10.Make sure your attic area is properly vented. In addition, consider installing turbine or power ventilators to help remove hot air from your attic.

11.Keep your Friedrich unit clean. Use a vacuum cleaner attachment for accessible parts, but take care not to damage them. Clean the reusable filter at least twice a month.

12.Set the thermostat at a higher temperature - save 5% in energy usage for each degree of temperature over 72°F.

These are the most important suggestions for saving money on cooling costs. Some, however, may not be applicable to your house or area. Check with your local utility company for more specialized information.

How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner

To start unit

If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper receptacle, it is ready to go. The first time the unit is started, the compressor will delay for three minutes. See Automatic Component Protection on the following page.

1Touch the Power button once. The unit will automatically be in Cool mode with the temperature set at 75°F (24°C) and the fan speed at F1, the sleep setting.

To set mode of operation

When you first turn the unit on, it will be in the Cool mode with constant fan.

2On WS cool-only models, touch the Mode buton once to activate the MoneySaver® (WS models only. See item 14 for Money Saver instructions on WY/WE models).

MoneySaver® is a feature that cycles the fan with the compressor so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and improves dehumidification. MoneySaver® will also run to test the temperature if the off cycle is too long. Or you may prefer constant fan for more air movement. (To return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two more times).

In order to run the fan by itself, do the following:

On WY/WS heat-cool models, touch the Mode button once to activate the Fan Only feature. The Fan Only setting will circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.

3Continuing from MoneySaver® mode, touch the Mode button once to activate the Fan Only feature (WS cool-only models.

To adjust temperature

4Use the Mode button to select either the Cool or MoneySaver® function (or Heat for WY/WE heat-cool models)

5COOLER – Touch the button to lower the room air temperature.

6WARMER – Touch the button to raise the room air temperature.

7Press both the and buttons at the same time to switch the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C). Repeat Step 7 to switch from °C back to °F.

To adjust fan speed

8Touch the Fan Speed button to see the current setting. Touch it again to change speed. F1 is the lowest setting (SLEEP SETTING / LOW), F2 is MEDIUM, and F3 is HIGH.

To activate Smart Fan (WS cool-only models)

9There is a fourth option, SF, when selecting the fan speed. This is the SMART FAN function. SMART FAN DOES NOT OPERATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FAN ONLY MODE.

To activate Smart Fan (WY/WE heat-cool models)

9Press the Smart Fan button to activate the Smart Fan. The light will indicate that this feature is in use.

Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired comfort level. For example, if the outside doors in your home are opened for an extended period of time, or more people enter a room, Smart Fan may adjust to a higher fan speed to compensate for the increased heat load. This keeps you from having to adjust the fan speed on your own.

To set the hour clock

10Touch the Set Hour button to see the current setting. The number that is displayed is the approximate time (hour only).

Use the and buttons to change the settings. BE SURE TO SET A.M. AND P.M. ACCORDINGLY. (P.M. is indicated by a red light in the upper left corner of the display).

To set the timer

NOTE: Set the HOUR CLOCK (Set Hour) before attempting to set timer functions.

You can set the Start Time and Stop Time a minimum of one hour apart, and a maximum of 23 hours apart.

11After setting the time, press the Set Hour button once (Start

light on). Use the and buttons to select the time that the unit will START.

12After selecting the Start Time, press the Set Hour button once.

(Stop Light on). Use the and buttons to select the time that the unit will STOP. After selecting the stopping time, press the Set Hour button once.

13Press the Timer On/Off button (light turns on) to activate the timer function. To deactivate this function, press the Timer On/Off button once again (light turns off). Once the on and off times have been selected, they will remain in memory and cycle daily until changed.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged or the power is interrupted, the HOUR must be reset or the Timer On/Off will not function when desired.

To Activate Money Saver (WY/WE models)

14Press the Money Saver button to activate the Money Saver feature. The light will indicate the Money Saver is in use.

MoneySaver® is a feature that cycles the fan with the compressor so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and improves dehumidification. MoneySaver® will also run to test the temperature if the off cycle is too long. Or you may prefer constant fan for more air movement. (To return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two more times).

How to clean the air filter

Your Friedrich room air conditioner is equipped with a Permafoam reusable air filter which is not affected by washing. The filter serves to remove dust, pollen, and other impurities from the air.

KEEP THE FILTER CLEAN - A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the operating efficiency of your unit and contribute to frosting of the indoor coil. Be sure to check the filter every 7 to 10 days. The filter check procedure is easy, due to the unique design of the Friedrich DECORATIVE FRONT.

FILTER ACCESS - Remove the INTAKE GRILLE from the DECORATIVE FRONT frame by grasping it at the upper right and left side corners. Pull out until the GRILLE is released from the upper retaining snaps. Tilt down toward you, lift up and out of the bottom retaining snaps. This will expose the filter. Remove the filter by pulling it toward you. Wash the filter in hot, soapy water, rinse, squeeze lightly to remove excess water, shake dry - do not twist - and replace in the unit on the two support hangers. Replace the INTAKE GRILLE by positioning the bottom of the GRILLE into the bottom retaining snaps. Tilt the front up and away from you. Press in lightly on top and the GRILLE will position itself into the upper retaining snaps.
