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 certifi ed 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 7).
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. 662. To expedite
service, please have your model and serial number available.
