ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

The functions mentioned in the following section may or may not be available depending on the air conditioner model.

Modify the TIMER Function

Navigate to the TIME menu to set the timer.

Remote Control Operation

Remote Control - Refer to Figure 52 during operation description.

Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment located on the back of the unit.

Operation - The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air conditioner for operation (refer to Figure 52 for effectiveness). Press the power button to turn the remote on. The remote will automatically power off after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The remote must be on to control the unit.

POWER Button - Tums remote and unit on and off.

SYSTEM Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following: AUTO, COOL, HEAT, and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is pressed, the display indicates which mode has been selected via a display message. Note that when the heating function is not available, the system will automatically skip the HEAT mode.

FAN MODE Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or CONTINUOUS operation. In the AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on and off when the compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.

NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display indicates CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed is determined by your selection on the FAN SPEED button.

FAN SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus AUTO operation. When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the fan speed icon (triangle) changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies depending on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual room temperature. For example, if there is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room temperature, the system fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains at this speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.

UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and upper limits are 60^ (16°C) and 99^ (37°C). These buttons are also used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu or Maintenance Mode.

Remote Effectiveness

Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to "bounce" off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room with 8 ft high ceilings.

Airflow Selection and Adjustment

Airflow direction adjustment

The airflow path may be adjusted to distribute air independently from the left or right side of the discharge opening. Each of the banks of louvers can be directed left, right, up, or down in order to achieve the most optimum airflow positioning.

To adjust airflow direction, grab the lever in the center of the louver bank and move it in the direction that you would like the air to be directed. Please note that it is normal that airflow may be stronger out of one side of the louvers than the other.

Fresh air and exhaust control

Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or exhaust stale air out of the room. The control slide is found on the upper part of the unit (see Figure 53).

TO BRING IN FRESH AIR - Move the lever to the Fresh Air position which allows outside air to enter the room. This is useful in fall and spring as a means of bringing in fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY. It can also be used in the summer with the compressor in the Cooling Mode if you wish.

TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR - Move the lever to the Exhaust position. This will allow stale air to be expelled to the outside of the dwelling. This is especially handy in the spring or fall when indoor air tends to get stale, or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove cooking odors.

BEST PERFORMANCE - Move the lever to the Re-Circulate Position.

This is the most efficient mode for cooling and heating

Installation Instructions

READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure your electrical receptacle has the same configuration as your air conditioner's plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.

Do not use plug adapters.

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not remove ground prong.

Always plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below. Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner; therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.

Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis (see Page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model (see Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).

The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching receptacle is required.

The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups distinguished by the first three letters of the model designations cabinet sizes listed in Table 2.

STEP 3. Remove the large white foam blocks used to restrain the compressor during shipment (see Figure 56). Inspect base pan for dislodged white foam blocks and remove. Do not remove any other foam parts.

STEP 4. Anchor the side angles (Item 6) by engaging the tabs of the lower sill plate (see Figure 57, Detail B-2) with the loops of the side angle. Engage the tabs of the top angle (Item 5) with the top loops of the side angle (see Figure 57, Detail B-1). Install two (2) screws (Item 7) to secure the top angle tabs and the side angle to cabinet (see Figure 57, Detail B-1).

Standard Window Installation continued

CAUTION

Remove Shipping Blocks

Prior to operating the unit remove the foam shipping blocks.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit which is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty!

STEP 5. Check the window sill and frame to be sure they are in good condition and functioning.

STEP 6. CABINET MOUNTING - Raise the lower window 1/4 more than the height of the cabinet. Carefully slide the cabinet through the opening until the lower sill plate channel rests behind the window sill and the top angle rests against the window (see Figure 58). Center the cabinet within the opening. Drill three (3) 5/32 diameter pilot holes into window sill using the holes in the cabinet sill plate as a guide. Install three (3) #12 × 2 long screws (Item 4) (see Figure 58).

STEP 7. OUTSIDE SUPPORT MOUNTING - Refer to Figures 57 and 58. Assemble the support brackets (Item 1) to the bottom of the cabinet with four (4) 10-24 1" long screws (Item 2) and four 10-24 flat nuts (Item 3). Adjust the support brackets, using a combination of the elongated holes of the bracket and different hole locations in the cabinet, to bring the bottom support bracket pads in contact with the wall. A 1'' × 4'' or 2'' × 4'' SPACER SHOULD BE USED BETWEEN THE WALL AND SUPPORT THE BRACKETS WHEN INSTALLED ON ALUMINUM OR VINYL SIDING. Drill 5/32'' diameter pilot holes and secure the brackets to the wall with two (2) 12A x 2" long screws (Item 4).

NOTE: DO NOT LEVEL the cabinet from front-to-back. Make sure there is approximately a 3/8 to 1/2 slope ( 1/8 to 1/4 bubble on level) toward the outside of the house.

Adjust the support brackets to provide an inside-to-outside slope for excess condensation drainage (refer to Standard Window Installation, Figures 59 through 61). Tighten all screws.

Alternate support method A: If you have a deep window sill which prevents you from mounting the brackets as shown in Figure 61, try the following: Using the elongated holes and different hole locations in the cabinet, set the placement of the bracket to support the unit's weight (Figure 62). Tighten all screws.

Alternate support method B: If the window ledge gap is narrow, try the following. Bend the bracket end tab flat. Cut the bracket in two (2) places as shown in Figure 63. Bend the short piece so it will be vertical when installed. Adjust the placement as required. Tighten all screws.

STEP 8. Measure and cut the wingboard panels (fit with about 1/8 clearance) from the supplied Masonite (Item 8) to fit the space between the window side channels and cabinet (Figure 64). Make sure you include the depth of the window channel.

NOTICE

For YOUR security and safety, YOU must provide a means of preventing the upper part of the window from opening.

STEP 9. To assemble the wingboard panels, push on the "J" type speed nuts (Item 9) and spring steel clips (Item 10) (see Figure 65 on Page 35). Secure each panel with two (2) screws (Item 11). Refer to Figure 66 on Page 36.

WARNING

Falling Object Hazard

Not following Installation Instructions for mounting your air conditioner can result in property damage, injury, or death.

STEP 10. INSTALL THE R1 INSULATION PANEL - To minimize air leaks and ensure optimal insulation, install the included R1 insulation panel (14 in parts list) (see Figure 67A-C).

First, measure the width from one side of the cabinet/ sleeve (covering the side angles where the wingboard was just secured) to the end of the wingboard (see Figure 67A).

Next, cut the R1 insulation panel to the measured width and remove protective cover, exposing adhesive on back panel (see Figure 67B).

Last, evenly apply the adhesive side of the panel across the entire height and width from side angle to wingboard panel (see Figure 67C).

Repeat the steps above for the other wingboard panel.

STEP 11. INSTALL THE WINDOW SEALING GASKETS - Measure and cut the dark foam window seal gasket (Item 12) and install it between the upper glass panel and the top part of the window sash (see Figure 67A).

CAUTION

Cut/Sever

Although great care has been taken to minimize sharp edges in the construction of your unit, use gloves or other hand protection when handling unit

Failure to do so can result in minor to moderate personal injury.

STEP 12. Carefully team lift the chassis and set it into the cabinet. Slide the chassis stopping approximately 3^ from full insertion. Insert the chassis seal gasket (Item 13) one inch deep between the chassis and the cabinet (see Figure 68) as shown on Page 37. A paint stir stick or ruler might be helpful here.

WARNING

Falling Object Hazard

Not following Installation Instructions for mounting your air conditioner can result in property damage, injury, or death.

The following instructions apply to wood, masonry, brick, concrete or cinder block wall construction.

STEP 1. Follow Steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the "STANDARD WINDOW INSTALLATION" instructions beginning on Page 29.

STEP 2. CABINET PREPARATION - Remove the sill plate from the cabinet by removing two (2) nuts and screws (Figure 78). Note that the chassis retainer is secured by a right side nut and screw (Detail A, Figure 78). Bend the tabs of the sill plate down into its channel at both ends of the plate or cut them off (Detail B, Figure 78). Rotate the sill plate 180^ (end-to-end, Detail B, Figure 78) and reinstall. Reverse the orientation of the nuts and screws, so that the head of the screws are on the underside of cabinet facing up and the nuts are on top (Detail C, Figure 78). Ensure that the chassis retainer is reinstalled as shown in the detail.

NOTICE

The outside cabinet condenser air intake louvers MUST NOT BE BLOCKED by extra thick walls.

STEP 3. WALL PREPARATION - The maximum wall thickness permissible without special construction is determined by the model size to be installed. Observe the maximum wall thickness shown in Figure 79. Walls exceeding the maximum thickness shown in the chart should be altered as shown in Figure 79.
STEP 4. CHECKING WIRING AND PLUMBING - Check for wiring and plumbing inside and outside of the wall to be sure none will be damaged when the cabinet framework is being constructed.
STEP 5. OPENING CONSTRUCTION - Depending upon size of unit to be installed, lay out the hole dimensions per Table 3. Cut and frame-in the opening to finished dimensions. If the wall construction is a typical frame, or 2'' × 4'' studding with brick or stone veneers, locate the opening next to one of the studs. For masonry, concrete, or cinder block walls, locate an opening for your convenience (see Figures 80, 81, and 82).

STEP 8. Drill two (2) 5 / 32 diameter pilot holes in each cabinet side at the locations shown (Figure 83) and install four (4) # 12 × 2 screws (Item 4). Provided that Step 5 (hole construction) provides a sturdy mount with solid vertical studs, support brackets may not be required. The installation must support the weight of the unit plus an additional weight of 400 pounds on the rear of the cabinet. If support brackets (Item 1) are available, they can be installed as shown in Figure 83.

STEP 9. Complete the installation by following Steps 12 through 15 of "STANDARD WINDOW INSTALLATION" instructions, starting on Page 35.

Final Inspection & Start-up Checklist

Inspect and ensure that all components and accessories have been installed properly and that they have not been damaged during the installation progress.
Check the condensate water drain(s) to ensure that they are adequate for the removal of condensate water, and that they meet the approval of the end user.
Ensure that all installation instructions concerning clearances around the unit have been adhered to. Check to ensure that the unit air filter, indoor coil, and outdoor coil are free from any obstructions.
Ensure that the circuit breaker(s) or fuse(s) and supply circuit wire size have been sized correctly. If the unit was supplied with a power supply cord, insure that it is stored properly.
Ensure that the entire installation is in compliance with all applicable national and local codes and ordinances having jurisdiction.
Secure components and accessories, such as a decorative front cover.
Start the unit and check for proper operation of all components in each mode of operation.
Instruct the owner or operator of the units operation, and the manufacturer's Routine Maintenance.

NOTE: A log for recording the dates of maintenance and/ or service is recommended.
Present the owner or operator of the equipment with the Installation & Operation Manual, all accessory installation instructions, and the name, address, and telephone number of the Authorized Friedrich Warranty Service Company in the area for future reference if necessary.

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60^ (15.6 °C) and below 115^ (46.1 °C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the spring or fall, select the FAN ONLY mode and set the Fresh Air/ Exhaust air control to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of cooler outside air.

Condensation is normal.

Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty filter, cool damp weather, or all these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket (Item 13) is properly installed (refer to the Installation Instructions).

Heat pumps operate differently

If your unit is a "KH", or heat pump model, there are some things that you will want to be aware of. Some functions of a heat pump differ from your unit when it is used for heating:

1. It is normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the heat pump. Moisture in the outside air, passing over the coil when very cold, will form ice.
2. If the outdoor temperature drops below 37^ (3^) , your heat pump will automatically turn on the electric resistance heat. When the temperature rises to 40^ (4^) , the compressor will resume the heat pump operation. If your unit is a 115 volt model (KHS10), it is designed for use in warmer climates and does not have an electrical heat feature, and will not provide adequate heat below 37^ (2.8^) .

Control Panel Battery Change Procedure

Remove the grille, by loosening four (4) captive screws (see Figure 84). In the upper left corner, remove one (1) screw on the battery retaining door (see Figure 85). Remove and replace the battery (CR2450). Reinstall the battery retaining door. Align the grille guide pins then tighten the four (4) captive screws. Before closing the grille panel door, check the filter. Clean or replace it as necessary.

1. USE HAND TOOLS WHEN INSTALLING AND REMOVING FRONT PANEL. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS.

2. DISCONNECT POWER AND FOLLOW ALL LABELLED WARNINGS WHEN FRONT PANEL IS REMOVED.

FRR010

Routine Maintenance Service and Assistance

To ensure proper unit operation, the air filter should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if conditions warrant. The unit must be turned off before the filter is cleaned.

To Remove, Wash and Replace Filter

Lower front panel (Figure 2). Use the handle on the filter to flex filter up and out of retainer. Remove filter from unit (Figure 3). Clean the filter monthly or more frequently if needed. Refer to the Accessories section for filter options.

Coils & Chassis

NOTE: Do not use a caustic cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreer. The use of harsh cleaning materials may lead to deterioration of the aluminum fins or the coil end plates.

The indoor coil and outdoor coils and base pan should be inspected periodically (annually or semi-annually) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.) as necessary. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be required. Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. A pressure washer may also be used; however, you must be careful not to bend the aluminum fin pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum fin pack when pressure cleaning coils.

NOTE: It is extremely important to insure that none of the electrical and/or electronic parts of the unit get wet. Be sure to cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray.

Decorative Front

Use a damp (not wet) cloth when cleaning the control area to prevent water from entering the unit, and possibly damaging the electronic control.

The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use solvents or hydrocarbon based cleaners such as acetone, naphtha, gasoline, benzene, etc.

The indoor coil can be vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be dirty. DO NOT BEND FINS. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a hose if you can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a more thorough cleaning when needed.

The air filter should be inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming with a dust attachment or by cleaning in the sink using warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry the filter thoroughly before reinstalling. Use caution, the coil surface can be sharp.

Fan Motor & Compressor

The fan motor & compressor are permanently lubricated and require no additional lubrication.

Wall Sleeve

Inspect the inside of the wall sleeve and drain system periodically (annually or semi-annually) and clean as required. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Clean both of these areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and ensure that the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as needed.

Troubleshooting Tips continued

COMPLAINT CAUSE	SOLUTION
Unit Does Not Cool/ Heat Room Sufficiently, or Cycles On And Off Too Frequently (continued).	·The outside temperature is below 60 °F(16°C).	·Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 60 °F (16°C). The unit will not cool properly, and the unit may be damaged.
	·The digital control is set to fan cycling mode.	·Since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously at this setting, the room air does not mix as well and hot (or cold) spots may result. Using the continuous fan setting is recommended to obtain optimum comfort levels.
	·The air conditioner has insufficient cooling capacity to match the heat gain of the room.	·Check the cooling capacity of your unit to ensure it is properly sized for the room in which it is installed. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
	·The air conditioner has insufficient heating capacity to match the heat loss of the room.	·Check the heating capacity of your unit. Air conditioners are sized to meet the cooling load, and heater size is then selected to meet the heating load. In extreme northern climates, room air conditioners may not be able to be used as a primary source of heat.
Unit Runs Too Much.	·This may be due to an excessive heat load in the room.	·If there are heat producing appliances in use in the room, or if the room is heavily occupied, the unit will need to run longer to remove the additional heat.
	·It may also be due to an improperly sized unit.	·Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and, if possible, try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
	·This may be normal for higher efficiency (EER) air conditioners.	·The use of higher efficiency components in your new air conditioner may result in the unit running longer than you feel it should. This may be more apparent, if it replaced an older, less efficient, model. The actual energy usage, however, will be significantly less when compared to older models.
	·You may notice that the discharge air temperature of your new air conditioner may not seem as cold as you may be accustomed to from older units. This does not; however, indicate a reduction in the cooling capacity of the unit.	·The energy efficiency ratio (EER) and cooling capacity rating (Btu/h) listed on the unit's rating plate are both agency certified.
