You have purchased a Friedrich room air conditioner. The Friedrich units are designed to give maximum comfort and quietness. 3 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 figure 1. DO NOT use an extension cord. The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not. Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the wall plug provided. This insures proper grounding. 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. You must use the three-prong plug furnished with the air conditioner. Figure 1 For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency Keep the filter clean Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly. Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 8. Provide good airflow Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out at the top of the unit, and takes in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical for good operation. It is just as important on the outside of the building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked. Unit Placement If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit's efficiency. Insulation Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows. 2 Introduction MODEL AMP VOLT NEMA NO. 15 125 5-15P CIRCUIT RATING OR TIME DELAY FUSE PLUG FACE CP08 ZQ08 ZQ10 4 ENGLISH 3 Safety Precautions To prevent injury and property damage, follow these instructions.
