How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner
Figure 2
Your Friedrich Casement model is a high efficiency unit designed to be installed in a casement window that does not permit the use of a standard window model. It is simple to operate and gives you optimum performance despite its small size.
To start unit
If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper receptacle, it is ready to go.
Temperature control
The right hand knob is the thermostat, turn it clockwise for cooler, counterclockwise for warmer.
Function control
There are four positions:
Turn to OFF to turn everything off.
Hl COOL - The fan runs continuously at high speed to cool the room quickly; the compressor goes on and off to maintain the temperature selected.
LO COOL - The fan runs continuously at low speed for gentle circulation of cooled air; the compressor goes on and off to maintain the temperature selected.
FAN ONLY - The fan runs alone without the compressor and circulates air without cooling.
To remove filter
Remove the slotted screws from each side of the plastic front panel and remove the panel (Figure 3). The filter can now be removed for cleaning. Use caution when removing the filter. The internal metal components are sharp. Clean with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, shake out, and allow to dry.
Replace the filter in the unit, and replace the front. This should be done on a regular basis during the cooling season.
