To Remove Filter; Fresh Air And Exhaust Control - Friedrich TwinTemp YQ07 Operating Manual

How to operate your Friedrich room air conditioner (Continued)
To remove, wash and replace filter
Open the return air (RA) grille by grasping it at the top
outside edges and pulling towards you (see figure 3). The
RA grille will stay open until it is detached or closed. If
you need to remove the RA grille, grasp it at the bottom
and pull towards you.
The filter is held in place by two spring clips (see figure 4).
Push down on the clips, grasp the filter and pull towards
you to remove it for cleaning. Clean with warm water
and a mild detergent, rinse, dry completely and replace.
Use caution when removing the filter. The internal metal
components are sharp.

Fresh air and exhaust control

Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into
the room and exhaust stale air out of the room. The control
lever is found on the upper part of the unit (see Figure 5).
TO BRING IN FRESH AIR – Move the lever to the
FRESH AIR position which allows outside air to enter
the room. This is useful in fall and spring as a means of
bringing in fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY. It can
also be used in the summer with the unit in the Cooling
Mode if you wish. Normally, for most efficient operation,
cooling is accomplished with this control in the middle or
closed position.

If the RA grille has not been completely detached, close it
by grasping it at the top outside edges and pushing it towards
the unit until it snaps shut.
If the RA grille has been removed, reposition it bottom
first, while lining up the control panel opening with the
control panel itself (see figure 3). Once it is lined up, push
in at the bottom of the RA grille until you hear it snap into
place. Now close it by grasping the tip outside edges and
pushing it towards the unit until it snaps shut.

TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR – Move the lever to the
EXHAUST position. This will allow stale air to be expelled
to the outside of the dwelling. This is especially handy
in the winter when indoor air tends to get stale, or after
a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove odors
after cooking.
