plug on its power supply cord, which must be
plugged into properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle for your protection against possible
shock.
FUSE - Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Refer to the nameplate for proper power supply
requirements.

208/230 VOLT UNITS
These units are equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug on the power supply cord, which
must be plugged in to a matching, properly
grounded three-prongwall receptaclefor your
protection against possible shock hazard. If such
an outlet is not present, one must be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordancewith the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

Additional

controls and important

information.

Ventilation Control
Push the lever to the "CLOSE" position to cool, heat or recirculate
room air only.
Pull the lever to the "OPEN" position to exhaust smoke or stale air
from the room.
This feature is best used in conjunction with the FAN ONLY position.

PULL

AirDirecfion
The direction of air can be controlled by adjusting the horizontal and
vertical louvers.

• HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
The horizontal air direction is adjusted by moving the vertical louver.
The lever for the vertical louver is located in the right and left side of
the air discharge.

• VERTICAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
The vertical air direction is adjusted by moving the horizontal louver.

OPEN/PUSH

Care and Maintenance
TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling
capacity and can also cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
If the filter becomes torn or damaged you should replace it
immediately. Replacement filters are available from your
salesperson, dealer, and authorized customer service centers.
1. Open the inlet grille downward by grasping the top outside
edges of the inlet grille and pulling it towards you.
2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling
the air filter up slightly.
3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
4. Gently shake all excess water from the filter.
Make sure the filter is completely dry and replace the filter
back into the unit,

How to Attach Front Grille to Cabinet
The front grille can be removed for cleaning or to check the model and serial numbers.
For your safety, you should attach the front grille using the following procedures.
1. Pull down front grille from the cabinet
top.
2. Push front grille's tips toward the cabinet
in order to insert front grille's tabs into
the cabinet.

3. Open the inlet grille.
4. Tighten the screw through the front grille
into the plate of control box.
5. Close inlet grille.

INSTALLATION

Installing the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve ensures
optional performancesof the unit.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you
have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall
sleeve. Refer to FIG. 8 on p14. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run
the risk of poor performance or premature product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
FRIEDRICHwarranty.

NOTE: All wall sleeves used to mount the new Air
Conditioner must be in sound structural condition
and have a rear grille that securely attaches to
sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the
Air Conditioner.
