ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (Continued)

After Maintenance/Repair Start-up Checklist and Notes

uInspect and ensure that all components and accessories have been installed properly and that they have not been damaged during the installation progress.

uCheck the condensate water drain(s) to ensure that they are adequate for the removal of condensate water, and that they meet the approval of the end user.

uEnsure that all installation instructions concerning clearances around the unit have been adhered to. Check to ensure that the unit air filter, indoor coil, and outdoor coil are free from any obstructions.

uEnsure that the circuit breaker(s) or fuse(s) and supply circuit wire size have been sized correctly. If the unit was supplied with a power supply cord, insure that it is stored properly.

uEnsure that the entire installation is in compliance with all applicable national and local codes and ordinances having jurisdiction.

uSecure components and accessories, such as a decorative front cover.

uStart the unit and check for proper operation of all components in each mode of operation.

uInstruct the owner or operator of the units operation, and the manufacturer's Routine Maintenance.

Heat pumps operate differently

If your unit is a "Y", or heat pump model, there are some things that you will want to be aware of. Some functions of a heat pump differ from your unit when it is used for heating:

1.It is normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the heat pump. Moisture in the outside air, passing over the coil when very cold, will form ice.

2.If the outdoor temperature drops below 37° F (3° C), your heat pump will automatically turn on the electric resistance heat. When the temperature rises to 40° F (4° C), the compressor will resume the heat pump operation. If your unit is a 115 volt model (YS10), it is designed for use in warmer climates and does not have an electrical heat feature, and will not provide adequate heat below 37° F (2.8° C).

NOTE: A log for recording the dates of maintenance and/or service is recommended.

uPresent the owner or operator of the equipment with the name, address and telephone number of the Authorized Friedrich Warranty Service Company in the area for future reference if necessary.

NOTE: This is a warm weather appliance

The air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60° F (15.6° C) and below 115° F (46.1° C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the spring or fall, select the FAN ONLY mode and set the Fresh Air/Exhaust air control to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of cooler outside air.

Condensation is normal

Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty filter, cool damp weather, or all of these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket (Item 14) is properly installed (refer to installation instructions).
