Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top perform-
ing condition by cleaning the filter regularly. In struc tions for
removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.
Provide good air flow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your
air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top of the
unit, and takes in unconditioned air at the bottom. Airflow
is critical to good operation. It is just as important on the
outside of the build ing that the airflow around the unit
exterior is not blocked.
Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall
that is shaded by a tree or an oth er building, the unit will
operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on
the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit’s
efficiency.
Test the power cord
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 2).
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button trips and
pops out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset but-
ton 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. 662. To expedite
service, please have your model and serial number available.

Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable
comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be
sure to caulk around doors and windows.
Proper installation of seal gasket
Make sure the seal gasket has been installed properly to
minimize noise and improve effi ciency. If the seal gasket
has not been installed, please refer to your installation in-
struction manual.
