How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner

To start unit

If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a properly grounded receptacle, it is ready to operate.

Mode control

This dial allows you to select cooling at three different speeds, as well as Fan Only.

Off- turns the unit off.

Hi Cool- for quick cooling.

Med Cool- to maintain a desired temperature.

Lo Cool- when demand is low.

Sleep Setting- for night time use, or when demand is low.

Fan Only- will circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.

This setting can also be used with the EXHAUST air setting to remove stale air or smoke from the room; or it can be used with the FRESH AIR setting to bring outside air into the room. This is especially useful in the spring and fall when cooling may not be necessary. The FRESH AIR and EXHAUST controls are in the upper air discharge area. The center position of this control is the normal, or closed position, which recirculates air for maximum performance in the cooling mode.

Temperature control

This dial is the thermostat. Turn it clockwise for cooler temperature and counterclockwise for warmer.

Money Saver® switch

This rocker switch can be depressed to either Yes or No.

Figure 2The Yes position provide the most economical operation. Both the fan and compressor will cycle on and off together, maintaining the selected temperature at a more constant level and reducing the humidity more efficiently. This control will only operate when the unit is in a Cool mode. In the No position, the fan will run constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling mode.
