Welcome to years of economical comfort with your new Friedrich Hazardgard Room air conditioner

General Instructions

Your new Friedrich has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable, efﬁcient operation, main- taining 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.

Here are some suggestions to help you use your new Friedrich most efﬁciently:

1.Carefully read and follow the installation instructions.

2.Your Friedrich Hazardgard room air conditioner is electri- cally grounded for your safety. The power supply must also be grounded and must be installed in accordance with NEC Article 501. The branch circuit rating is shown on the nameplate for each model.

3.Make sure the unit is the right capacity for the area to be cooled. Too little capacity makes the unit work too hard, using more electricity than needed and increasing wear. Too much capacity is also hard on the unit as it will cycle on and off too rapidly, and cannot control humidity as well.

4.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 to- ward 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.

5.Clean the ﬁlter frequently (See General Maintenance).

6.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 is directed into a restricted area such as behind a bed or into a corner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.

7.A dirty ﬁlter or improperly set controls can affect the cool- ing ability of the unit.

8.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.

9.Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of the room being cooled.

10.Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside temperature.

11.Whenever possible, shade west-facing windows with aw- nings.

12.Keep window coverings away from the unit to provide free air ﬂow.

SH20, SH15 specifications

The Friedrich SH15 and SH20 models are exemplary representatives of advanced heating solutions, designed to address the diverse needs in residential and commercial environments. Engineered with a focus on efficiency, performance, and user-friendliness, these heating systems make a strong case for modern heating technology.

One of the standout features of both the SH15 and SH20 is their energy efficiency. These models utilize state-of-the-art heat pump technology, which allows them to extract heat from the environment even in colder temperatures. This results in significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional heating systems, leading to reduced utility bills and a lower carbon footprint. The SH15 is designed for smaller spaces, while the SH20 offers a bit more power, making it suitable for larger areas or homes with greater heating demands.

Both models incorporate advanced inverter technology, which adjusts the compressor speed depending on the heating requirements. This ensures that the units operate at optimal efficiency, providing consistent temperature control while minimizing energy waste. Inverter-driven systems contribute to quieter operation as well, which is ideal for residential settings where noise can be a concern.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of the Friedrich SH15 and SH20. Equipped with intuitive digital controls, users can easily set their preferred temperatures and schedules, allowing for personalized comfort. Moreover, both models support smart home integration, enabling remote access and control through mobile applications. This feature not only enhances convenience but also allows users to monitor energy usage and make adjustments on the fly.

Durability is a key characteristic of these heating systems. Constructed with high-quality materials, the SH15 and SH20 are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. They also feature advanced air filtration systems that improve indoor air quality by effectively removing allergens and other pollutants.

In summary, the Friedrich SH15 and SH20 embody the cutting-edge of heating technology, offering powerful, efficient, and user-friendly solutions for diverse heating needs. With their advanced features, smart technology integration, and robust construction, these models are well-suited for modern living, ensuring comfortable and environmentally responsible heating year-round.
