How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner

To start unit

If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper receptacle, it is ready to go. The first time the unit is started, the compressor will delay for three minutes. See Automatic Component Protection on the following page.

1Touch the Power button once. The unit will automatically be in Cool mode with the temperature set at 75°F (24°C) and the fan speed at F1, the sleep setting.

To activate Smart Fan (WY/WE heat-cool models)

9Press the Smart Fan button to activate the Smart Fan. The light will indicate that this feature is in use.

Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired comfort level. For example, if the outside doors in your home are opened for an extended period of time, or more people enter a room, Smart Fan may adjust to a higher fan speed to compensate for the increased heat load. This keeps you from having to adjust the fan speed on your own.

To set mode of operation

When you first turn the unit on, it will be in the Cool mode with con- stant fan.

2On WS cool-only models, touch the Mode button once to activate the MoneySaver® (WS models only. See item 14 for Money Saver instructions on WY/WE models).

MONEYSAVER® is a feature that cycles the fan with the compres- sor so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and improves dehumidi cation. MoneySaver® will also run to test the temperature if the off cycle is too long. Or you may prefer constant fan for more air movement. (To return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two more times).

In order to run the fan by itself, do the following:

On WY/WE heat-cool models, touch the Mode button once to activate the FanOnlyfeature. The FanOnlysetting will circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.

3Continuing from MoneySaver® mode, touch the Mode button once to activate the Fan Only feature (WS cool-only models).

To adjust temperature

4Use the Mode button to select either the Cool or MoneySaver® function (or Heat for WY/WE heat-cool models)

5COOLER – Touch the button to lower the room air temperature.

6WARMER – Touch the button to raise the room air temperature.

7Press both the and buttons at the same time to switch the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C). Repeat Step 7 to switch from °C back to °F.

To adjust fan speed

8Touch the Fan Speed button to see the current setting. Touch it again to change speed. F1 is the lowest setting (SLEEP SETTING / LOW), F2 is MEDIUM, and F3 is HIGH.

To activate Smart Fan (WS cool-only models)

9There is a fourth option, SF, when selecting the fan speed. This is the SMART FAN function. SMART FAN DOES NOT OPERATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FAN ONLY MODE.

To set the hour clock

10Touch the Set Hour button to see the current setting. The number that is displayed is the approximate time (hour only).

Use the and buttons to change the settings. BE SURE TO SET A.M. AND P.M. ACCORDINGLY. (P.M. is indicated by a red light in the upper left corner of the display).

To set the timer

NOTE: Set the HOUR CLOCK (Set Hour) before attempting to set timer functions.

You can set the Start Time and Stop Time a minimum of one hour apart, and a maximum of 23 hours apart.

11After setting the time, press the Set Hour button once (Start

light on). Use the and buttons to select the time that the unit will START.

12After selecting the Start Time, press the Set Hour button once.

(Stop Light on). Use the and buttons to select the time that the unit will STOP. After selecting the stopping time, press the Set Hour button once.

13Press the Timer On/Off button (light turns on) to activate the timer function. To deactivate this function, press the Timer On/ Off button once again (light turns off). Once the on and off times have been selected, they will remain in memory and cycle daily until changed.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged or the power is interrupted, the HOUR must be reset or the Timer On/Off will not function when desired.

To Activate Money Saver (WY/WE models)

14Press the Money Saver button to activate the Money Saver feature. The light will indicate the Money Saver is in use.
