WARNING: Before Operating Your Unit
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating listed in Table 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord may not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong receptacle you will need to have it replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certi¿ed electrician. The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes and ordinances. Under no circumstances should you remove the ground prong from the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.
Test the power cord
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from the factory with a Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) equipped power cord. The LCDI device meets the UL and NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners effective August 2004.
To test your power supply cord:
1.Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2.Press RESET (See Figure 1).
3.Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
4.Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches and remains in). The power cord is ready for use.
Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the LCDI device.
If the LCDI device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power supply cord from the manufacturer. Contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800)
NOTICE
Do not use the LCDI device as an ON/OFF switch.
Failure to adhere to this precaution may cause premature equipment malfunction.
