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.
Power cord information
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 A).
3.
Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button trips and pops out).
4.
Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button
latches and remains in). The power supply cord is ready for
operation.
NOTE: LCDI device is not intended to be used as a switch.
Once plugged in the unit will operate normally without the
need to reset the LCDI device.
If the device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply
cord is damaged it must be replaced with a new supply cord
from the manufacturer. We recommend you contact our
Technical Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645 ext. 845. To
expedite service, please have your model and serial number
