Features and Installation
Installation
Remove packing sheet from the back of the sleeve, and
packing corner and blue tape from the air conditioner.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
If you use an existing wall sleeve, you should
measure its dimensions.
Install the new air conditioner according to these
installation instructions to achieve the best
performance. All wall sleeves used to mount the
new air conditioner must be in good structural
condition and have a rear grille to securely attach
the new air conditioner. (FIG. 1)
With the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve, you can maintain the
best performance of the new air conditioner. (FIG. 2)
ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Check your available electrical service. The power
supply available must be the same as that shown
on the unit nameplate (found on left side of cabinet).
All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug
to provide proper service and safe positive
grounding. Do not change plug in any way. Do not
use an adapter plug. If your present wall outlet does
not match your plug, call a qualified electrician to
make the necessary corrections. SAVE CARTON
for storage and this OWNER'S MANUAL for future
reference. The carton is the best way to store unit
during winter or when not in use.
