Friedrich P012B Air Conditioner User Manual


 
Your ZoneAire
®
Portable Air Conditioner is designed to
evaporate the condensation removed from the interior space
through the exhaust hose. Under certain conditions it is
possible that the unit will not evaporate 100% of the removed
moisture.
The unit is designed with a built-in reservoir to accumulate
excess condensate and help dispose of it.
Internal Water Level
1. Under any mode if the water level is in the “low” area the
unit will function normally.
2. If the water level is in the “normal” area the unit will
continue to function normally while internally evaporating
the condensate.
3. If the unit cannot evaporate all of the condensate internally,
the tank may become full. If the tank becomes full, the unit
will turn off, and the Water Full light will illuminate.
Draining Water
The water can be drained from the unit by removing the base
stopper and letting the water drain by gravity.
1. When the WATER FULL lamp is on unplug the unit
and move the unit to a suitable location for draining the
condensation.
2. Using the gravity drain method, ensure that the base
stopper is located above a suitable area for draining the
condensate and remove the stopper. Re-install the stopper
once all water has drained.
3. Return the unit to the original location and restore power
and duct connections.
4. The WATER FULL indicator should be off and the unit will
return to normal operating mode.
Permanent Drainage
For permanent and continuous drainage, a 1/2" hose may be
attached to the unit and led down a drain.

Maintenance
Draining excess water
Condensed water may accumulate in the unit. If the
internal tank becomes full, the Warning Light will shine
and the unit will not operate until the unit has been
drained.
First, uplug electrical cord from wall outlet. Then, drain
excess water from the tank by placing a pan under the
drain valve, removing the drain plug, and letting the
water drain into the pan.
When the water stops draining out, replace the drain
plug, and remove the pan of water. Operate the air
conditioner in fan mode to dry the interior of the unit.
Always drain the unit before putting it into storage.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• The unit has an air filter that must be cleaned with
water every two weeks and put back in the unit after it
is completely dry.
• The air discharge grille can be cleaned with a rag or
sponge, warm water and mild detergent.
• Never use hot water, bleach, gasoline, acids, cleaning
fluid or a brush to clean the unit. This will damage the
cabinet and the air discharge area.
• Do not wash the unit with a hose.
Cleaning the filter.
1. Turn Power OFF.
2. Remove the air filter by grasping the bottom and
pulling it up and out of the unit.
3. Wash in hot soapy water, rinse and shake dry.
4. Replace the filter with the front of the filter toward you.
5. To dry the filter thoroughly, run your unit in fan mode
for a few minutes. Remember, only a clean filter works
properly and delivers top efficiency at every setting.
