WELCOME to years of economical comfort

Your new Friedrich Room Air Conditioner has been carefully

cient operation, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature

efi

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 eficiency and long life of your Friedrich unit. Here are a few examples:

1. Do not block the fl ow of air to and from the unit - make sure the

the room. Caution: If air is obstructed and/or defl ected back into the air conditioner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.

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

Caulking - 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.

4. Install weather stripping around exterior doors and windows.

5. Have a fireplace?

Be sure the damper is closed during air

conditioner operation.

6. When it’s time to

reroof or repaint the outside of your home,

choose light colors. They refl ect heat instead of absorbing it.

7. 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.

8. 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).

9. Make sure your attic area is properly vented. In addition,

hot air

from your attic.

10. 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.

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

These are some suggestions for saving money on cooling costs. Some, however, may not be applicable to your house or area. Check

Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired comfort level.
