Friedrich WallMaster WS Instrucciones De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

WELCOME to years of economical comfort with your new Friedrich Room Air Con di tion er.
Your new Friedrich Room Air Conditioner has been carefully engineered and man u fac tured to give you many years of
de pend able, effi cient operation, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature and hu mid i ty level. Many extra fea tures
have been built into your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner to assure quiet operation, greatest circulation of cool, dry air,
most fl exible selection of function controls, and high economy of operation.
There are many things you can do in and around your home to save more money - and even increase the effi ciency and
long life of your Friedrich unit. Here are a few examples:
1. How to Set Thermostat: When you fi rst turn on your air conditioner, select the highest fan speed and set the
ther mo stat to its coldest position to cool the room. When the desired tem per a ture is reached, turn the ther mo stat
control toward "warmer" until the compressor goes off. The thermostat will then cause the compressor to go on
and off to maintain this selected temperature. You can adjust the fan speed for optimum air circulation.
2. Do not block the fl ow of air to and from the unit - make sure the louvers are directed to give even dis tri bu tion of
air throughout the room. Caution: If air is obstructed and/or defl ected back into the air conditioner, this may cause
the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.
3. Adequate insulation - walls, ceilings, and below fl oors - can save up to 50% of the cost of cooling in most areas of
the country.
4. Caulking: in well insulated homes, air leaks around doors, windows, lighting and plumbing fi x tures can account
for as much as 30% of the load on heating and cooling systems. See that all these areas are well caulked.
5. Install weather stripping (metal is preferable to felt) around exterior doors and windows.
6. Have a fi replace? Be sure the damper is closed during air conditioner operation.
7. When it's time to reroof or repaint the outside of your home, choose light colors. They refl ect heat instead of absorbing
it.
8. Shade your outside walls (especially on the west) from the direct sun; most importantly, shade the unit itself.
Trees and shrubs provide natural shading, but make sure they don't block the air fl ow around the unit. If natural
shade isn't present, awnings are the best solution for shading the unit and the windows.
Also, avoid areas where too much dust or pollen would be drawn into the air conditioner.
9. Inside the house, use blinds, screens, or drapes on windows exposed to the sun. They will reduce your cooling needs.
(Lined or insulated draperies will also help cut heating costs in winter).
10. Make sure your attic area is properly vented. In addition, consider installing turbine or power ven ti la tors to help
remove hot air from your attic.
11. Keep your Friedrich unit clean. Use a vacuum cleaner attachment for accessible parts, but take care not to damage
them. Clean the reusable fi lter at least twice a month.
12. Set the thermostat at a higher temperature - save 5% in energy usage for each degree of temperature over 72°F.
These are the most important suggestions for saving money on cooling costs. Some, however, may not be ap pli ca ble to
your house or area. Check with your local utility company for more specialized information.
