Frequently Asked Questions - FHPH132AB1 FRIGIDAIRE

How do I clean the air filters?
Unplug the unit. Remove filter A from behind the back panel grill and filter B by loosening the screw. Wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse, shake off excess, and let dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every week of operation.
What does the 'P1' error code mean?
The P1 code indicates that the water collection tank is full. Drain the condensate by following the drainage instructions in the manual. If the error persists, contact an authorized Frigidaire service center.
Can I use an extension cord?
No, do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. The air conditioner must be plugged directly into a properly grounded wall receptacle to avoid fire or shock hazards.
How do I set the timer to delay startup?
With the unit in standby (plugged in but off), press the 'timer' button. Use the up/down arrows to set the delay in 0.5-hour increments up to 10 hours, then 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. After 5 seconds, the setting is confirmed.
Why is the unit not cooling enough?
Check if the room temperature is below 60°F (16°C). Ensure the air filter is clean, the exhaust hose is not blocked or kinked, and the front of the unit is not obstructed. Also, allow time for the room to cool down.
How do I drain the water in Dry mode?
Unscrew the drain cap of the continuous drain outlet. Connect a garden hose (sold separately) to the outlet and lead the other end to a drain lower than the unit. Ensure the hose is not higher than the outlet.
My remote control is not working. What should I do?
Check the batteries and replace if needed. Ensure the remote is pointed at the unit's receiver within 16 ft (5 m) without obstacles. Also, verify the unit is plugged in and turned on.
Can I use the air conditioner without the exhaust hose?
The exhaust hose is required in Cool, Heat, and Auto modes to vent hot air outside. In Fan or Dry mode, the hose does not need to be connected, but for best performance, always use it when cooling.
How do I switch between °F and °C?
Press and hold the up and down arrow buttons simultaneously for more than 3 seconds. Note: This function is not available in Dry or Fan mode.
What does the 'AS' error code mean?
The 'AS' code indicates a room temperature sensor failure. Contact your authorized Frigidaire service center for repair.

Drainage Instructions

Continuous Drainage

During the Dry mode, you will need a garden hose (sold separately) to drain the condensate from the unit. Follow the steps below:

• Unscrew the drain cap of continuous drain outlet(Fig.20).
- Connect one end of the garden hose (sold separately) to the drain outlet then lead the other end into a drain that is lower than the unit(Fig.21).

Figure 20 Figure 21
Drain cap for DRY mode

Garden hose

NOTE

  • Condensate may flow out after removing the drain cap, if the unit is running in Cool or Auto mode. When you want to remove the garden hose, prepare a drip tray (not supplied) to collect the condensate from the drain outlet.
  • Please be sure that the height of the drain and section of the drain hose should not be higher than that of the drain outlet, or the continuous drainage may not work properly.
  • During Cool or Auto mode, it is recommended to disable continuous drainage by replacing the drain cap to the drain outlet, to reach the maximum performance.

Heat pump Drainage(For heating & cooling model only)

During the Heat mode, you will need a 1/4" drainage hose (packed with the unit) to drain the condensate from the unit.

Follow the steps below:

• Unscrew the heat pump drain cap and rubber of heat pump drain outlet(Fig.22).
- Insert the rubber head into the outlet. Then screw the sealing cap into the heat pump drain outlet(Fig.23).
- Lead the other end of the 1/4" drainage hose to a drain that is not 16ft(5m) higher than the heat pump drain outlet.

Drainage Instructions

NOTE:

There is a 1/4" hole on the window kit for leading the drainage hose outside during the heating mode.

Do not drain condensate outside when outside temperature is below 32^ F ( 0^ C).

Emptying the condensate residue inside the unit during winter storage.

Put a drip tray (not supplied) under the continuous drain outlet, then unscrew the drain cap to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray. Replace the drain cap to the continuous drain outlet when no condensate flows out.

Put the drip tray under the bottom drain outlet, then remove the rubber stopper from the drain outlet, to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray. If your drip tray can't hold all the condensate, a number of fills will be needed.

Replace the drain cap to the bottom drain outlet when no condensate flows out.

Note: To ensure all condensate residue has been removed, tilt the unit by lifting it slightly upwards from the front until no more condensate comes out from the drain outlet.

Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

CLEANING THE UNIT

The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.

Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.

Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

To keep your air conditioner working efficiently, you should clean the filters every week of operation.

This unit has two filters, they are filter A and B. Grasp the upper panel tab and take off the filter A which behind the grill of the back panel (Fig.25). Remove the lower filter B by loosening the screw. Take down the air inlet grille, then remove the air filter as shown in Fig.25.

Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.

Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Replace the filter after the filter is dry.

Winter Storage

If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time:

  1. Drain the water collection tank completely and leave the bottom drain cap and rubber plug long time enough to allow any residual water to drain out. Once the tank is completely drained and no more water flows out, reinstall the rubber plug and cap.
  2. Remove and clean the filter, allow it to dry completely, then reinstall it.
  3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
  4. Store the air conditioner in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature, and excessive dust.

Before using the air conditioner again:

  1. Make sure the filter and drain cap are in place.
  2. Check the cord to make sure it is in good condition, without cracks or damage.
  3. Place new batteries in the remote control.
  4. Install the air conditioner as described in the Installation Instructions.
