How to operate your Friedrich ZStar ......................................6

Congratulations!

You have purchased a Friedrich room air conditioner. The Friedrich units are designed to give maximum comfort and quietness.

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 wall plug provided.

This insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced by a certified electrician with a grounded circuit that meets all national and local codes and ordinances. You must use the three-prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.

Figure 1

For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency

Keep the filter clean

Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly. Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 8.

Provide good airflow

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

Unit Placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another 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.

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.

Control and Remote Control Operations

1. POWER

Operation begins when this button is pressed and stops when you press the button again.

2. TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The thermostat monitors room temperature to maintain the desired temperature. The thermostat can be set between 60°F~86°F (16°C~30°C). The unit takes an average of 30 minutes to adjust the room temperature by 1°F.

3. OPERATION MODE SELECTOR

Select cooling mode to cool the room. Select Money Saver® mode for energy saving operation. Select fan mode for basic ventilating fan operation. Select dry mode for dry operation.

4. FAN SPEED SELECTOR

For increased power while cooling, select a higher fan speed. 3 steps: High; Low; Med

5. ON/OFF TIMER

The timer can be set to start and stop the unit in hourly increments (up to 12 hours).

6. REMOTE CONTROL SENSOR

Inserting the Remote Control Batteries

1. Push out the cover on the back of the remote control with your thumb

2. Pay attention to polarity and insert two new AAA 1.5V batteries.

3. Reattach the cover.

NOTE:

Do not use rechargeable batteries. Make sure that

both batteries are new.

• In order to prevent discharge, remove the batteries from the remote control if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period of time Keep the remote control away from extremely hot or humid places. To maintain optimal operation of the remote control, the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

• The remote control can be mounted on a wall using the mountable holder.(Friedrich does not provide this.)

How to operate your Friedrich ZStar

Function Controls

When the air conditioner has finished cooling the room and is turned off or set to the fan position, wait at least 3 minutes before resetting to the cooling operation again.

CAUTION

Off - Turns air conditioner off. Med Fan - Med speed fan operation without cooling. Low Fan - Low speed fan operation without cooling. High Cool - Cooling with high speed fan operation. Med Cool - Cooling with med speed fan operation. Low Cool - Cooling with low speed fan operation.

This automatically controls the temperature of the indoor air. Turn the knob so that arrow points to the higher number for greater cooling. Point the arrow to the lower number for more moderate cooling. (i.e. the higher the number, the greater the cooling)

• FOR NORMAL COOLING

1. Turn the operation switch to the High Cool or the Low Cool setting.

2. Set the Thermostat control to the desired temperature mark 5 (the mid-point is a good starting position). If the room temperature is not satisfactory after a reasonable time, adjust the control to a cooler or warmer setting, as appropriate.

• FOR MAXIMUM COOLING

1. Turn the Operation Knob to the High Cool setting.

2. Set the Thermostat control to the largest (9) temperature mark.

• FOR QUIETER OPERATION

1. Turn the Operation Knob to the Low Cool setting.

2. Set the Thermostat control as needed.

Care and Maintenance

Turn the power off and unplug the power plug before cleaning the air conditioner.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the inlet grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks (or as necessary) to maintain optimal performance of the air conditioner.

How to remove the air filter

1. The grille may be opened from the top for easy maintenance after installation.

2. Open the inlet grille by pulling out on the exposed door on the top of the unit (based on installation).

3. Pull the tab slightly to release the filter. Pull the filter in the same direction as the opening.

4. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water.

5. Rinse off and gently shake off excess water from the filter. Make sure filter is completely dry before replacing it.

Drainage

The base pan may overflow due to high humidity. To drain the excess water, remove the drain cap from the back of the unit and secure the drainpipe. When pressing the drainpipe into place, apply force in the direction away from the fins to avoid injuring yourself.

How to Install the Unit

1. To prevent vibration and excess noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly

2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.

3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 12" and there should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the cabinet, as it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed and unobstructed to the outside of the structure.

4. Install the unit with a rear, downward slope, so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/4" buble on a level). This will force condensation to flow to the outside.

5. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.

Window Requirements

NOTE: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.

• This unit is designed for installation in standard

double hung windows with actual opening widths from 22" to 36".

• The top and bottom window sash must open

sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 15" from the bottom of the upper sash to the window stool.

Electrical Safety

Use of extension cords

Because of potential safety hazards , we strongly discourage the use of an extension cord. However,

if you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA certified/UL-listed3-wire (grounding) extension cord, rated 15A,

125V. All wiring should be made in accordance with local electr ical codes and regulations.

Aluminum house wiring may pose special problems. Consult a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

IMPORTTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on its power supply cord, which must be plugged into

properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock hazard.

Troubleshooting Tips

ENGLISH

Troubleshooting Tips save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.

Normal Operation

You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser

on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.

You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off. Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and

drip from the outdoor side of the unit. The fan may run even when the compressor does not. Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above

60 F(16 C) and below 115 F(46 C).
