How to clean the air filter

Your Friedrich room air conditioner is equipped with a Permafoam reusable air filter which is not affected by washing. The filter serves to remove dust, pollen, and other impurities from the air.

KEEP THE FILTER CLEAN - A clogged, dirty filter will reduce the operating efficiency of your unit and contribute to frosting of the indoor coil. Be sure to check the filter every 7 to 10 days. The filter check procedure is easy, due to the unique design of the Friedrich

DECORATIVE FRONT.

FILTER ACCESS - Remove the INTAKE GRILLE from the DECORATIVE FRONT frame by grasping it at the upper right and left side corners. Pull out until the GRILLE is released from the upper retaining snaps. Tilt down toward you, lift up and out of the bottom retaining snaps. This will expose the filter. Remove the filter by pulling it toward you. Wash the filter in hot, soapy water, rinse, squeeze lightly to remove excess water, shake dry - do not twist - and replace in the unit on the two support hangers. Replace the INTAKE GRILLE by positioning the bottom of the GRILLE into the bottom retaining snaps. Tilt the front up and away from you. Press in lightly on top and the GRILLE will position itself into the upper retaining snaps.

How to change airflow direction (Figure 6)

The DISCHARGE GRILLE is installed at the factory to provide 45˚ upward airflow into the room. (Direction 1 in Figure 6). If a vertical airflow is desired (Direction 2), the direction can be changed by rotating the DISCHARGE GRILLE.

Unplug the air conditioner.

Remove the DISCHARGE GRILLE RETAINER attached with one screw in the right side of the grille.

Remove the DISCHARGE GRILLE from the retaining slots near the CONTROLS, and rotate the grille as shown in Figure 6.

Reinstall the DISCHARGE GRILLE by placing it in its retaining slots. Reattach the DISCHARGE GRILLE RETAINER with the retaining screw. The unit is now ready to operate.

How to cover inner weather panel holes

Two beige plugs are included in the plastic bag taped to the WallMaster chassis. These plugs may be used to cover the two holes left after removing the inner weather panel (see Figure 6). The plugs must be attached before the DECORATIVE FRONT frame is installed.

Electrical requirements

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check local electrical codes and the information below.

Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same AC voltage and hertz rating as marked on the nameplate located on the chassis. Only alternating current (AC) can be used. Consult pages 3 and 7 for the correct type of receptacle for your model.

An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an

air conditioner, therefore, it is extremely important that the electrical power and the wiring is adequate. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - Before installing or relocating your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner, check the amp rating of the circuit breaker or "TIME-DELAY" fuse. Refer to the nameplate located on the air conditioner chassis to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model. The rating MUST NOT exceed the value stated on the nameplate. If the air conditioner is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, a "TIME-DELAY" fuse must be used due to the momentary high current demands when your air conditioner is started.

Never use an extension cord

Your Friedrich room air conditioner is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced by a certified electrician with a grounded circuit that meets 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.

NEVER CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
