ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off electric power before inspections, maintenances, or service.

Extreme care must be used, if it becomes necessary to work on equipment with power applied.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

NOTICE

Units are to be inspected and serviced by qualified service personnel only. Use proper protection on surrounding property. Failure to follow this notice could result in moderate or serious property damage.

AIR FILTER

Clean the unit air intake filter at least every 300 to 350 hours of operation. Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

COILS AND BASE PAN

WARNING

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

Use two people to lift or carry the unit, and wear proper protective clothing.

Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

NOTICE

Do not use a caustic coil cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser, to prevent damage to the coil and/or base pan.

WARNING

CUT/SEVER HAZARD

Be careful with the sharp edges and corners.

Wear protective clothing and gloves, etc.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

The indoor coil (evaporator coil), the outdoor coil (condenser coil) and base pan should be inspected periodically (yearly or bi-yearly) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.). Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. If using a pressure washer, be careful not to bend the aluminium fin pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum fin pack when pressure cleaning coils. Cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it in the sleeve.

BLOWER WHEEL / HOUSING / CONDENSER FAN / SHROUD

Inspect the indoor blower housing, evaporator blade, condenser fan blade and condenser shroud periodically (yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all debris (lint, dirt, mold, fungus, etc.). Clean the blower housing area and blower wheel with an antibacterial / antifungal cleaner. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser on condenser fan and condenser shroud. Use warm or cold water when rinsing these items. Allow all items to dry thoroughly before reinstalling them.

ELECTRONIC / ELECTRICAL / MECHANICAL

Periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly): inspect all control components: electronic, electrical and mechanical, as well as the power supply. Use proper testing instruments (voltmeter, ohmmeter, ammeter, wattmeter, etc.) to perform elec- trical tests. Use an air conditioning or refrigeration thermometer to check room, outdoor and coil operating tempera- tures. Use a sling psychrometer to measure wet bulb temperatures indoors and outdoors.

Inspect the surrounding area (inside and outside) to ensure that the unit’s clearances have not been compromised or altered.

2009, 2008 specifications

Friedrich 2008 and 2009 represent significant advancements in heating and cooling technology, particularly in the realm of air conditioning systems. Friedrich is known for producing robust and efficient HVAC solutions tailored for both residential and commercial applications. These models are particularly noteworthy for their innovative features and energy-efficient technologies that enhance user comfort and lower operational costs.

One of the main characteristics of the Friedrich 2008 and 2009 models is their emphasis on energy efficiency. Both units are designed to meet or exceed Energy Star standards, which indicates that they use less energy compared to standard models, contributing to greener living solutions. The incorporation of efficient compressors and high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings ensures that users save money on their electricity bills while enjoying optimal cooling performance.

The units also feature advanced inverter technology, which allows for variable speed operation. This means that the system can adjust its cooling capacity based on the current temperature needs, resulting in more consistent comfort while reducing wear and tear on the equipment. Additionally, the inverter technology operates more quietly compared to traditional systems, making these models suitable for both home environments and commercial settings.

Friedrich 2008 and 2009 also provide users with enhanced control options. The inclusion of smart technology and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and temperature adjustments via smartphones or tablets. Users can create schedules, set temperature preferences, and receive maintenance alerts, contributing to a more user-friendly experience.

Moreover, these models are designed with robust construction, featuring durable materials that withstand various weather conditions. Their compact footprint and sleek design make them suitable for window installation, while an array of sizes accommodates spaces of different dimensions.

Additionally, the air filtration systems in Friedrich 2008 and 2009 units improve indoor air quality. They effectively capture dust, allergens, and other particulates, ensuring a healthier environment for occupants.

In summary, Friedrich 2008 and 2009 models stand out for their energy efficiency, innovative inverter technology, smart controls, and robust construction. With a focus on user comfort and environmental responsibility, these models provide reliable solutions for effective heating and cooling in diverse applications.
