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.

Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.

If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating listed in Table 1.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord may not.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air conditioner cord plug provided.

Proper grounding must be maintained at all times. Two prong receptacles must be replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certified electrician.

The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes and ordinances. You must use the three prong plug furnished with the air conditioner. Under no circumstances should you remove the ground prong from the plug.

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 on the end of the cord meets the UL and NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners.

To test your power supply cord:

  1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
  2. Press RESET (see Figure 1).
  3. Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
  4. Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches and remains in). The power cord is ready for use.

NOTICE

Do not use the LCD device as an ON/OFF switch.

Failure to adhere to this precaution may cause premature equipment malfunction.

Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the LCDI device. If the LCDI device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power supply cord from the manufacturer. Contact our Technical Assistance Line at (800) 541-6645. To expedite service, please have your model number available.

Control Panel Operation Instructions

SYSTEM - The MODE button allows you to sequentially select up to four modes of operation:

AUTO Available on select models

COOL

HEAT Available on select models

FAN ONLY

AUTO FAN (No Cooling Demand)

When in AUTO mode, the fan only operates when the system has a demand to cool or heat the room.

In the ON fan mode, the fan operates all the time. The system periodically cools or heats the fan's airflow but the flow of air does not stop.

UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either an UP or DOWN button changes the system's setpoint (desired room temperature). These buttons are also used to make system parameter changes later in this manual.

One press equals 1 degree of change in Fahrenheit mode. One press equals 0.5 degree change in Celsius mode.

TIMER

The timer can be engaged or disengaged from the control panel. This is done by pressing or holding the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously for three seconds.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

°F-°C Select

To switch from degrees Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C), press the MENU button and enter the F-C sub-menu.

FAN SPEED - Depending on your model, the FAN SPEED button allows you to toggle between three or four modes of operation: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and MAX.

Alerts

When the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced, the CHECK FILTER icon displays.

The alert can be dismissed by pressing the FAN MODE and TIME for 3 seconds.

Lock Control Panel

To lock/unlock the front panel controls, navigate to the "LOCK" sub-menu found after clicking the MENU button. The lock requires a four digit pass code to lock/unlock the unit. This pass code will be required to enter the menu to unlock the unit. The LOCK icon illuminates to indicate the locked status.

The LOCK icon disappears to indicate unlocked status.

External Control Status

The Wi-Fi icon illuminates to indicate that the system is receiving a Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi icon also provides information about the signal strength.

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 - Turns 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 °F (16 °C) and 99 °F (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.

WARNING

Friedrich KHS12A33A - WARNING - 1

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.

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 x 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" x 4" or 2" x 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.

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above 60 °F ( 15.6 °C ) and below 115 °F ( 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.

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 degreaser. 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 CAUSESOLUTION
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.
