WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not use plug adapters.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove ground prong.
Replace damaged cords with new cord
from manufacturer.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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 certi 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 6).
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. 845. To expedite service, please have your

If the unit operates, but won't cool, determine if the controls are
properly set. Set the thermost to a cooler position in order to check
control settings. Check the filter and clean it thoroughly, if needed.
Check to see if the vent door is closed.
Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to
page 11 for seal gasket installation).

Odors in heating (for heat/cool models only)
You may notice a smoke odor the fi rst time the heater element comes
on. This is common in any type of heat system when fi rst turned on
for the winter. The odor comes from dust and other particles that
accumulate during the warm months. The odor will dissipate quickly.
Won't run
If the unit fails to operate, check to see if the power cord is fi rmly
plugged in. Check for blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers or a
tripped LCDI Device (Refer to LCDI reset instructions in the Power
cord information section). Restore the circuit breaker or replace the
blown fuse with a proper size "TIME-DELAY" fuse. The proper fuse
size is shown on page 3 in these instructions. After restoring the cu-
rrent supply to the unit, wait three minutes before unit will restart.
