Congratulations!
Thank you for your decision to purchase the Friedrich Hazardgard (Hazardous Duty 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 to be
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. When you first turn on your Friedrich, set the thermostat to
its coldest position to cool the room. When the desired
temperature is reached, turn the thermostat control toward
the “warmer” position until you hear a click and the
compressor goes off. The thermostat will then cycle the
compressor to maintain the selected temperature.
4. Clean the filter frequently (See Filter Information)
5. Do not block the air flow to and from the unit. Make sure the
louvers are directed to give even distribution of air
throughout the room. Caution: If air directed into a restricted
area such as a corner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and
off rapidly, which could damage your unit.
6. A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling
ability of the unit.
7. 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.
8. Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of
the room being cooled.
9. Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside
temperature.
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.
10. Whenever possible, shade west-facing windows with
awnings.
11. Keep window coverings away from the unit to provide free
air flow.
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.

Filter Information
The filter in your Friedrich removes dust, pollen and other
impurities from the air as they are drawn through the unit.
The filter is permanent and reusable, and has a germicidal
treatment which is not affected by washing.
920-024-07
A clogged, dirty filter reduces the air flow through the unit and
reduces its efficiency. You should check the filter every seven
to ten days, depending on the amount your unit is used. Clean
the filter regularly.

Maintenance Checklist
Won’tCool
If the unit operates, but doesn’t cool, check to see that the controls are properlyset. Inspectthe filterand clean it thoroughly, if
needed. Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer
to installation instructions).
Won’tRun
If the unit does not operate at all, check that the power supply
connections are tight. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit
breakers. Replace blown fuses with the proper size time-delay

restoring power, wait three minutes before restarting the unit.

Cleaning
The front grille of your Friedrich, as well as the complete cabinet may be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. The
coils and base pan should be cleaned periodically for the most
efficient operation. We suggest you call your Friedrich dea
for this service.
Lubrication
Fan motors are factory lubricated and sealed. No lubrication
is required.

STEP1 Remove decorative plastic return air grille to a safe area away from the unit.
STEP2 Remove the installation hardware, wingboard and two (one light colored and one dark colored) gaskets from beneath the
unit, and place them inasafe area away from the unit.
STEP3 Remove the chassis retainer by removing the far right screw in the basepan (see Figure A); save this screw to reattach the
chassis retainer after installatio. Also, remove and discard the two retainer screws and plastic bushi
of the unit.
STEP4 While an assistant holds the cabinet stationary, use the hand pull at the front of the base pan (see Figure A) to pull the
chassis out of the cabinet. Remove white foam blocks used to restrain the compressor during shipment. Inspect

WARNING
Falling Object Hazard
Not following Installation Instructions
for mounting your air conditioner can
result in property damage, injury, or

Wall Preparation
The maximum wall thickness permissible without special construction is determined by the model size to be installed. THE OUT-
SIDE CABINET CONDENSER AIR INTAKE LOUVERS MUST NOT BE BLOCKED BY EXTENDING INSIDE THE WALL
AREA. Observe the maximum wall thickness shown as dimension "A" in Figure J.
Special Instructions For Extra Thick Walls
For installation in walls exceeding the maximum thickness shown as dimension A, the following suggested construction
may apply. (See Figure J).

will be broken where the hole is to be cut.
STEP2 HOLE CONSTRUCTION: Depending on the size of the unit to be installed, layout the hole dimensions in accordance
with the chart below (See Figure K). Cut and frame in the hole to the finished dimensions. Use
2"x4" material for framing and follow the suggested typical installations in Figure L,MorNon Page 14.
NOTE: IF THE WALL CONSTRUCTION IS TYPICAL FRAME OR 2 X 4 STUDDING WITH BRICK OR STONE VENEERS,

Chassis Installation
STEP 1 Slide the chassis into the cabinet stopping approximately 3" from full insertion. Stuff the chassis seal gasket (Item #14) one
inch deep between the chassis and the cabinet (See Figure P). Begin at either bottom corner and go up the side, across the
top, and down the opposite side. Make sure that the gasket is behind the conduit connector (furthest from you). Push the
chassis into the shell the remaining distance so that the plastic front shrouds the front edge of the shell. Fasten the junction
box mounting foot to the shell with the sheet metal screw.
If chassis seal gasket is not installed, the operation of the unit will be negatively affected. Also, the operation noise and
outside noise will be amplifi ed.
NOTE:

CAUTION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people when
installing your air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
CAUTION
Cut/Sever
Although great care has been
taken to minimize sharp edges
in the construction of your unit,
use gloves or other hand
protection when handling unit.
Failure to do so can result in minor
to moderate personal injury.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Electrically connect unit in accordance with NEC
Code Article 501. Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, fire, or electrical shock.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Field wiring must be provided to this junction box in accordance with NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (NFPA 70, 2008
or current edition) ARTICLE 501. Field and equipment grounds are to be terminated at the post in the junction box with
the green screw provided. Equipment power leads are to be connected with the fi eld supply by means of wire nuts (not
provided). Install the gasket and cover plate onto the junction box.
