WELCOME to years of economical comfort

Your new Friedrich Room Air Conditioner has been carefully engineered and man u fac tured to give you many years of de pend able, efﬁ cient operation, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature and hu mid i ty level. Many extra fea tures have been built into your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner to assure quiet operation, greatest circulation of cool, dry air, most ﬂ exible 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 efﬁ ciency and long life of your Friedrich unit. Here are a few examples:

1. How to Set Thermostat: When you ﬁ rst turn on your air

conditioner, select the highest fan speed and set the ther mo stat to its coldest position to cool the room. When the desired tem per a ture is reached, turn the ther mo stat 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 ﬂ ow of air to and from the unit - make sure the

louvers are directed to give even dis tri bu tion of air throughout 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.

3. Adequate insulation - walls, ceilings, and below ﬂ oors - 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 ﬁ x tures can account for as much as 30% of the load on heating and cooling systems. See that all these areas are well caulked.

6. Have a ﬁ replace? 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 reﬂ ect 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 ﬂ ow 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 ven ti la tors 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 ﬁ lter 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 ap pli ca ble to your house or area. Check with your local utility company for more specialized information.

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

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

Touch 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).

How to clean the air filter

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

KEEP THE FILTER CLEAN - A clogged, dirty ﬁ lter will reduce the

operating efﬁ ciency of your unit and contribute to frosting of the indoor coil. Be sure to check the ﬁ lter every 7 to 10 days. The ﬁ lter 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 ﬁ lter. Remove the ﬁ lter by pulling it toward you. Wash the ﬁ lter 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.
