Keep the filter clean

Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing 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.

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.

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 Step 14 (page 13) of the installation instructions.

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.

For the best cooling performance and highest energy efficiency

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 re lo cate 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 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 certifi 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 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 manufac-
turer. We recommend you contact our Technical Assistance Line at 

(800) 541-6645 ext. 845. To expedite service, please have your model 
and serial number available.
