How to clean the air filter
Your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner is equipped with a
Permafoam reusable air fi lter with a germicidal treatment,
which is not affected by washing. The fi lter serves to remove
dust, pollen, and other impurities from the air.
KEEP THE FILTER CLEAN - A clogged, dirty fi lter will
reduce the operating effi ciency of your unit and contribute to
frosting of the indoor coil. Be sure to check the fi lter every
7 to 10 days. The fi lter 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 fi lter. Remove the fi lter by pulling it toward you.
Wash the fi lter 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 airfl ow into the room. (Direction 1 in
Figure 6). If a vertical airfl ow 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 DIS CHARGE GRILLE
RE TAIN ER 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 elec tri cal 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 2 and 5 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
im por tant 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
de ter mine the correct fuse or circuit breaker am per age
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.
