Filter Information
The fi lter in your Friedrich removes dust, pollen and other
impurities from the air as they are drawn through the unit.
The fi lter is permanent and reusable, and has a germicidal
treatment which is not affected by washing.
Won’t Cool
If the unit operates, but doesn’t cool, check to see that the con-
trols are properly set. Inspect the fi lter and clean it thoroughly, if
needed. Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer
to installation instructions).
Won’t Run
If the unit does not operate at all, check that the power supply
connections are tight. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit
breakers. Replace blown fuses with the proper size time-delay
fuse. The nameplate on the unit shows the proper fuse size. After
restoring power, wait three minutes before restarting the unit.

coil should ice over while cooling, set the thermostat to the warm-
est position until the ice on the coil is gone. Setting the thermostat
to a slightly warmer position will probably keep ice from forming
on the coil. A dirty fi lter will contribute to icing.
Cleaning
The front grille of your Friedrich, as well as the complete cabi-
net may be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. The
coils and base pan should be cleaned periodically for the most
effi cient operation. We suggest you call your Friedrich dealer
for this service.
Lubrication
Fan motors are factory lubricated and sealed. No lubrication
is required.
A clogged, dirty fi lter reduces the air fl ow through the unit and
reduces its effi ciency. You should check the fi lter every seven
to ten days, depending on the amount your unit is used. Clean
the fi lter regularly.
FILTER RETAINER CLIPS
The fi lter can be removed for cleaning by opening the front of
the unit and releasing the fi lter from its retaining clips.
