can be directed left, right, up or down in order to achieve the most optimum

move it in the direction that you would like the air to be directed. Please
louvers than the other.

Fresh air and exhaust control
Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or exhaust
stale air out of the room. The control slide is found on the upper part of
the unit (See Figure 14).
TO BRING IN FRESH AIR – Move the lever to the Fresh Air
position
which allows outside air to enter the room. This is useful in fall and spring as
a means of bringing in fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY . It can also
be used in the summer with the compressor in the Cooling Mode if you wish.

FRR008

TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR – Move the lever to the Exhaust
position. This will allow stale air to be expelled to the outside of the dwelling.
This is especially handy in the spring or fall when indoor air tends to get
stale, or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove cooking
odors.
BEST PERFORMANCE – Move the lever to the Re-Circulate Position

Remote Thermostat
Remote Thermostat - An external thermostat may be added to the air
conditioner to provide remote temperature sensing and control. For
details and installation instructions, please visit www.Friedrich.com or
contact Friedrich Service at 1-800-541-6645.

WARNING

Always plug into a grounded 3 prong oulet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.

MOVING PARTS HAZARDS
* Do not operate unit out of sleeve
or with front grille removed.
* Do not place hands in blower or
fan blade areas.
Failure to do so can result in
serious injury.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air
conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same
alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name
plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.)
cannot be used.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded
circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner,
therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due
to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a
"TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer
or power company if in doubt.

CAUTION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people when
installing your air conditioner.

Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis
(See page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage
for your model (See Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).

Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.

The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching
receptacle is required.

Slide the cabinet into the hole far enough to allow the
guide-channel of the sill plate to contact the inside wall surface
(Figure 21).

NOTE:

STEP 7.

Drill three (3) 5/32” diameter pilot holes (use the sill-plate holes
as a guide) into the frame and install three (3) #12 x 2" long
screws (Item 4) (Figure 21).

STEP 8.

NOTE:

Alternate fasteners are required when securing the sill plate or
support brackets to material other than wood (cinder block, brick,
masonry or concrete). These items can be purchased at your
local hardware store.

Drill two (2) 5/32" diameter pilot holes in each cabinet side
at the locations shown (Figure 21) and install four (4) #12 x
2" screws (Item 4). Provided that Step 5 (hole construction)
provides a sturdy mount with solid vertical studs, support
brackets may not be required. The installation must support
the weight of the unit plus an additional weight of 400 pounds
on the rear of the cabinet. If support brackets (Item 1) are
available, they can be installed as shown in Figure 21.

STEP 9.

Complete the installation by following steps 12 through 15
of “STANDARD WINDOW INSTALLATION” instructions,

Final Inspection & Start-up Checklist
Inspect and ensure that all components and accessories have been
installed properly and that they have not been damaged during the
installation progress.
Check the condensate water drain(s) to ensure that they are adequate
for the removal of condensate water, and that they meet the approval
of the end user.

Heat pumps operate differently
If your unit is a "Y", or heat pump model, there are some things that you
will want to be aware of. Some functions of a heat pump differ from your
unit when it is used for heating:
1.

It is normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the heat pump.
Moisture in the outside air, passing over the coil when very cold,
will form ice.

If the outdoor temperature drops below 37° F (3° C), your heat
pump will automatically turn on the electric resistance heat. When
the temperature rises to 40° F (4° C), the compressor will resume
the heat pump operation. If your unit is a 115 volt model (YS10),
it is designed for use in warmer climates and does not have an
electrical heat feature, and will not provide adequate heat below
37° F (2.8° C).

Ensure that all installation instructions concerning clearances around
indoor coil, and outdoor coil are free from any obstructions.
Ensure that the circuit breaker(s) or fuse(s) and supply circuit wire
size have been sized correctly. If the unit was supplied with a power

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside
temperature is above 60° F (15.6° C) and below 115° F (46.1° C), so it won't
cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the
spring or fall, select the FAN ONLY mode and set the Fresh Air/Exhaust
air control to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of cooler outside air.

Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the
outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most
of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity,
there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting
ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer
will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to
operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is
quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the
chassis seal gasket (Item 13) is properly installed (refer to installation
instructions).
