WARNING: Before Operating Your Unit

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure your electrical receptacle has the
same configuration as your air conditioner's
plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.
Do not use plug adapters.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove ground prong.
Always plug into a grounded 3 prong oulet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
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 Table 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the
unit; an extension cord may not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with
the air conditioner cord plug provided.
Proper grounding must be maintained at all times. Two prong receptacles
must be replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certifi ed electrician.
The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes and
ordinances. You must use the three prong plug furnished with the air
conditioner. Under no circumstances should you remove the ground
prong from the plug.
Test the power cord
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from the factory with a
Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) equipped power cord. The
LCDI device on the end of the cord meets the UL and NEC requirements
for cord connected air conditioners.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (See Figure 1).
3. Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
4. Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches
and remains in). The power cord is ready for use.

Do not use the LCDI device as an ON/OFF switch.
Failure to adhere to this precaution may cause
premature equipment malfunction.
Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset
the LCDI device. If the LCDI device fails to trip when tested or if the power
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power supply cord
from the manufacturer. Contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800)
