Troubleshooting tips
Power failure
It you have a power tifilure, the unit's auto-restart feature
will resume operation in the selected mode prior to the
power/ifilure
Won't cool?
Ityour air conditioner operates, but won't cool; check to see
if the controls are properly set. Check the filter and clean
thoroughly if needed. Check to see if the vent door is closed.
Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to
installation instructions).
Won'trun?
Make sure the power cord is plugged in all the way. Check
for a bad fuse, tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device.
Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset instructions and to confirm
proper fuse size. Lastly, you can reset the circuit board by
pressing the "MONEYSAVER" button and the "FILTER
ALERT" button at the same time. The LED (small red light)
for the Filter Alert will begin blinking. Once this occurs,
turn the unit off by pressing the On/Off button once and
then unplug the unit. Finally, plug the unit back in and turn
it on by pressing the On/Off button once. All settings revert
back to the ti_ctory default settings.
This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather
when the outside temperature is above 60°F (16°C), so it
won't cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want
to cool a room in the winter, touch FAN ONLY and set the
FRESH AIR/EXHAUST contrel to FRESH AIR. This will
bring in a supply of outside air.

Condensation is normal
Air conditione_ actually pump heat and humidity from your
room to the outside air. Humidity becomes water, and your
air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside
coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess
water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.
Frosting
This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across
the coils, a dirty filter, cool damp weather, or all of these.
Set unit to Fan Only and the frost will disappear. Setting
the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the
frosting from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich QuietMaster,_,
units operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner
mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window.
If mounted in a window, the window mounting kit provided
with the QuietMaster models will reduce operating sound
levels, when properly installed. It is important to ensure
that the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to
installation instructions).
Cleaning your air conditioner
The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with
warm water and a mild liquid detergent. The indoor coil can
be vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be
dirty. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a hose
if you can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a
more thorough cleaning when needed. The air filter should
be inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming
with a dust attachment or by cleaning in the sink using warm
water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry thoroughly
before reinstalling the filter.
