Remote Control Operation

Remote Control - Refer to Figure 51 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 51 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.

Figure 51 SIDE VIEW TOP VIEW FRR080

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.

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.

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 °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 C) is properly installed (refer to 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 °F ( 3 °C ), your heat pump will automatically turn on the electric resistance heat. When the temperature rises to 40 °F ( 4 °C ), 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 °F ( 2.8 °C ).

Control Panel Battery Change Procedure

Remove the grille, by loosening four (4) captive screws (Figure 73). In the upper left corner, remove one (1) screw on the battery retaining door (Figure 74). 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.

Figure 74 BACKUP BATTERY

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 (see Figure 2). Use handle on filter to flex filter up and out of retainer. Remove filter from unit (see Figure 3). Clean filter monthly or more frequently if needed. Refer to 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 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.
