For the best cooling performance and highest energy efficiency

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 6.

Provide good air flow

Make sure the airflow path 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.

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 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.

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. 

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 
installation instructions on page 8.
