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 ex ten sion cord will not.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air conditioner cord plug pro vid ed.

This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced by a certiﬁ ed electrician with grounded circuit that meets 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.

920-115-05 (11-04)

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.

Keep the filter clean

Ma ke su re that you r ai r cond ition er is always in top per for ming condition by cleaning the filter regularly. In struc tions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.

Provide good air flow

Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top of the unit, and takes in unconditioned air at the bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation. It is just as important on the outside of the build ing that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.

Insulation

Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.

Proper installation of seal gasket

Make sure the seal gasket has been installed properly to minimize noise and improve efﬁ ciency. If the seal gasket has not been installed, please refer to your installation instruction manual.

Unit placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall that is shaded by a tree or an oth er building, the unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit’s efficiency.

How to operate your friedrich room air con di tion er

To start unit

If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper re cep ta cle, it is ready to go. The first time the unit is started, the compressor will delay for three minutes. See Automatic Component Protection, Page 5.

Touch the POWER ON/OFF button once. The unit

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

speed. This is the SMART FAN function. SMART FAN DOES NOT OPERATE IN CONJUCTION WITH THE FAN ONLY MODE.

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 timer

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

You can set the START and STOP times a minimum of one hour apart, and a maximum of twenty-three hours apart.

Your unit is equipped with Automatic Component Protection.

To protect the compressor of the unit, there is a three minute delay if you turn the unit off or if power is interrupted. The fan will not be affected. Also, if you switch from COOL mode to FAN ONLY, and switch back to COOL mode, there is a three minute delay before the compressor comes back on.

Figure 6

Exhaust control

By placing the lever in the EXHAUST (Figure 6) position, stale air and smoke can be exhausted from the room. This feature should be used in conjunction with the FAN ONLY feature to expedite the flow of air to the outside. For normal cool ing, the ve nt s hou ld be in the V ENT SHU T position fo r maximum performance.

Troubleshooting Tips

920-115-05 (11-04)

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 vent door is closed. Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to installation instructions). Lastly, 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.

Won't run?

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

Condensation is normal

Ai r con ditio ners actua lly pu mp heat and hum idit y f rom your room to the outside air. Humidity be comes 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 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.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. We build them to 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 that the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to installation instructions).

Cleaning your air conditioner

The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and a mild liquid de ter gent. 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 ﬁ lter should be inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming wit h a dust att achment or by cle an ing in the sin k usi ng wa rm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling the ﬁ lter.

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.
