Congratulations!

Thank you for your decision to purchase the Friedrich Room Air Conditioner. Your new Friedrich has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable, efficient operation, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Many extra features have been built into your unit to assure quiet operation, the greatest circulation of cool, dry air, and the most economic operation.

General Instructions

This Installation and Operation Manual has been designed to insure maximum satisfaction in the performance of your unit. For years of trouble-free service, please follow the installation instructions closely. We cannot overemphasize the importance of proper installation. We have added new information to the basic instructions to help you achieve success.

WARNING

Refrigeration system under high pressure.

Do not puncture, heat, expose to flame or incinerate.

Only certified refrigeration technicians should service this equipment.

R410A systems operate at higher pressures than R22 equipment. Appropriate safe service and handling practices must be used.

Only use gauge sets designed for use with R410A. Do not use standard R22 gauge sets.

WARNING

Please read this manual thoroughly prior to equipment installation or operation.

It is the installer’s responsibility to properly apply and install the equipment. Installation must be in conformance with the NFPA 70-2008 National Electric Code or current edition, International Mechanic Code 2009 or current edition and any other applicable local or national codes.

Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Here are some suggestions to help you use your new Friedrich most efficiently:

1.Carefully read and follow the installation instructions.

2.Make sure the unit is the right capacity for the area being cooled. An undersized unit makes the unit work too hard, using more electricity than needed and increases wear. An oversized unit will cycle on and off too rapidly, and therefore cannot control humidity as well.

3.Clean the filter frequently (See Routine Maintenance).

4.Do not block the air flow to and from the unit. Make sure the louvers are directed to give even distribution.

5.A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling ability of the unit.

6.If cooling is weak and you have verified that the filter is

clean and the controls are properly set, the unit may be low on refrigerant, and you should call your Friedrich service provider to check the unit.

7.Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of the room being cooled to reduce radiant heat.

8.Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside temperature.

9.Whenever possible, shade south and west facing windows.

10.Keep window coverings away from the unit to provide free air flow.

Yoursafetyandthesafetyofothersareveryimportant.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is a safety Alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol with the word “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. These words mean:

Indicates a hazard which, if not WARNING avoided, can result in severe

personal injury or death and damage to product or other property.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazard which, if not

 

avoided, can result in personal injury

and damage to product or other property.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what will happen if the instructions are not followed.

NOTICE

Indicates

property damage can

 

occur if

instructions are not

 

followed.

WARNING: Before operating your unit

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 Figure 1.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air conditioner cord plug provided.

This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong receptacle you will need to have it replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certied electrician. The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes and ordinances. Under no circumstances should you remove the ground prong from the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.

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 meets the UL and NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners effective August 2004.

To test your power supply cord:

1.Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2.Press RESET (See Figure 2).

3.Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button trips and pops out).

4.Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button latches and remains in). The power supply cord is ready for operation.

NOTE: LCDI device is not intended to be used as a switch.

Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the LCDI device.

If the device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new supply cord from the manufacturer. We recommend you contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645 . To expedite service, please have your model and serial number available.

How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner (XQ models)

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 rst turn the unit on, it will be in the Cool mode (light on), with constant fan.

2Touch the Mode button once to activate the MoneySaver® (light on).

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 dehumidication. Or you may prefer constant fan for more air move ment (to return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two more times).

Installation instructions

NOTE: This section includes installation instructions for window mount and thru-the-wall mount methods. X-Star® heat/cool units are designed for permanent thru-the-wall installation. Mounting the unit in a window will require a window mounting accessory kit, available through your Fried rich dealer.

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.

READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of the air conditioner, be sure your electrical requirements are as described below. Consult an electrical professional as necessary to insure home wiring is per local electrical codes.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner, therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. All portable chassis models require a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker for over-amperage protection. Due to momentary high current demand when your air conditioner is started, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.

Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C. voltage and hertz as marked on the unit nameplate. Only alternating current (A.C.), no direct current (D.C.), can be used.

The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong of approved type and a matching plug receptacle with ground is required. Refer to page 3 for the correct type of plug receptacle for your model.

WARNING: NEVER CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM PLUG. NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS TO OPERATE AN AIR CONDITIONER.

Troubleshooting tips

Power failure

If you have a power failure, the unit's auto-restart feature will resume operation in the selected mode prior to the power failure.

Won't cool?

If your air conditioner operates, but won’t cool; check to see if the controls are properly set. Check the filter and clean thoroughly if needed. Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to Installation Instructions, Step 8, page 8).

Won't run?

Make sure the power cord is plugged in completely. Check for a bad fuse, tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device. Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset instructions and to con rm proper fuse size.

For XQ models only:

You can reset the circuit board by pressing the “MODE” button and the “TEMPERATURE DOWN” button at the same time. The LEDs (small red lights) for Hour, Start and Stop will begin blinking. Once this occurs, turn the unit off by pressing the On/Off button once and then unplug the unit. Finally, plug the unit back in and turn it on by pressing the On/Off button once. All settings revert back to the factory default settings.

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60°F (16°C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool outside. Also, it will not provide adequate heating when the outdoor ambient temperature falls below 37°F (3°C).

Condensation is normal

Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the outside air. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty filter, cool damp weath er, or all of these. Set unit to Fan Only and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. We build them to operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to Installation Instructions, Step 8, page 8).

Cleaning your air conditioner

The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. The indoor coil can be vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be dirty. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a hose if you can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a more thorough cleaning when needed. The air lter should be inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming with a dust attachment or by cleaning in the sink using warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry the lter thoroughly before reinstalling. Use caution– the coil surface can be sharp.
