How to operate the Friedrich room air conditioner (XQ models)
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 set mode of operation
When you 
rst turn the unit on, it will be in the Cool mode (light on), with constant fan.
2Touch the Mode button once to activate the MoneySaver® (light on).
MoneySaver® is a feature that cycles the fan with the compressor so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and improves dehumidi 
cation. 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:

3Continuing from MoneySaver® mode (light on), touch the Mode button once to activate the FAN ONLY feature (light on).
The FAN ONLY setting will circulate air in the room without the com- pressor coming on.
To adjust temperature
4Use the Mode button to select either the COOL or MoneySaver® function
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 readout 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
9There is a fourth option, SF, when selecting the fan speed. This is the SMART FAN function. SMART FAN DOES NOT OPERATE IN CONJUCTION WITH THE FAN ONLY MODE.
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 the hour clock
10Touch the Set Hour button to see the current setting (clock light comes on). 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).

12After selecting the START time, press the Set Hour button once more (Stop light comes 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.
Automatic component protection
Your unit is equipped with Automatic Component Protection. To protect the compressor of the unit, there is a three minute start delay if you turn the unit off or if power is interrupted. The fan operation will not be affected. Also, if you switch from Cool mode to Fan Only, and switch back to Cool mode, there is a three minute delay before the compressor comes back on.
