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.
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.
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.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual
and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
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

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 relocatethis 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 ex ten sion 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 certi
ed
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 Friedrichroomair conditionersare shippedfrom thefactory 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 devicefailsto tripwhen tested or if thepowersupply cordis damaged,it
must be replaced with a newsupply cord from the manufacturer. We recommendyou contactour TechnicalAssistance Lineat (800)541-6645.

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
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.
rm proper fuse size.
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 aroom if it is already cool
outside. Also, it will notprovideadequate heatingwhenthe outdoor ambient
temperature falls below 37°F (3°C).
Noises
All airconditionersmake somenoise. Webuildthemto operate as quietly as
possible. An air con di tion er mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted
in a window. It is important to ensure thatthe 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 liquidde ter gent. The indoorcoilcanbevacuumedwithadusting attachment if it appears to be dirty. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the
outside air. Humidity be comes water, and your air conditioner will use most
of thewater tokeep theoutsidecoil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there
may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal op er a tion.
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.
