Congratulations
Thank you for your decision to purchase Friedrich.

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.
General Instructions
This Installation and Operation Manual has been designed to insure maximum satisfaction in the performance of your unit. For years of
WARNING
Refrigeration system under high pressure
Do not puncture, heat, expose to flame or incinerate.
Only certified refrigeration technicians should service this equipment.
R410A systems operate at higher pressures than R22 equipment. Appropriate safe service and handling practices must be used.
Only use gauge sets designed for use with R410A. Do not use standard R22 gauge sets.
Here are some suggestions to help you use your new Friedrich most efficiently:
1.Carefully read and follow the installation instructions.
2.Make sure the unit is the right capacity for the area being cooled. An undersized unit makes the unit work too hard, using more electricity than needed and increases wear. An oversized unit will cycle on and off too rapidly, and therefore cannot control humidity as well.
3.Clean the filter frequently (See Routine Maintenance, Page 27).
4.Do not block the air flow to and from the unit.
5.A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling ability of the unit.
6.If cooling is weak and you have verified that the filter is clean
and the controls are properly set, the unit may need service and you should call your Friedrich service provider to check the unit.
7.Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of the room being cooled to reduce radiant heat.
8.Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside temperature.
9.Whenever possible, shade south and west facing windows.
10.Keep window coverings away from the unit to provide free air flow.
