Congratulations!
Thank you for your decision to purchase the Friedrich Hazardgard (Hazardous Duty Room Air Conditioner). Your new Friedrich has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable, efficient operation, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level. 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.
WARNING
Please read this manual thoroughly prior to equipment installation or operation.
It is the installer’s responsibility to properly apply and install the equipment. Installation must be in conformance with the NFPA
Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury or death.
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 to be 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.When you first turn on your Friedrich, set the thermostat to its coldest position to cool the room. When the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat control toward the “warmer” position until you hear a click and the compressor goes off. The thermostat will then cycle the compressor to maintain the selected temperature.
4.Clean the filter frequently (See Filter Information)
5.Do not block the air flow to and from the unit. Make sure the louvers are directed to give even distribution of air throughout the room. Caution: If air directed into a restricted area such as a corner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.
6.A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling ability of the unit.
7.If cooling is weak and you have verified that the filter is clean and the controls are properly set, the unit may be low on refrigerant, and you should call your Friedrich service provider to check the unit.
8.Keep blinds, shades and drapes closed on the sunny side of the room being cooled.
9.Proper insulation helps your unit maintain the desired inside temperature.
10.Whenever possible, shade
11.Keep window coverings away from the unit to provide free air flow.
