FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - FRA052XT70 FRIGIDAIRE

Que faire si mon climatiseur ne s'allume pas ?

Vérifiez que la fiche est bien enfoncée dans la prise. Appuyez sur le bouton RESET du cordon d'alimentation. Si le problème persiste, vérifiez le fusible ou le disjoncteur.

Pourquoi de la glace se forme-t-elle sur les serpentins ?

Cela peut être dû à une température extérieure inférieure à 21 °C, un filtre à air sale ou un réglage du thermostat trop froid. Mettez le sélecteur en position FAN pour dégivrer.

Que faire si de l'eau coule à l'intérieur ?

L'appareil doit être incliné légèrement vers l'extérieur pour permettre l'écoulement de l'eau. Vérifiez l'installation.

À quelle fréquence dois-je nettoyer le filtre ?

Nous recommandons de vérifier le filtre au moins une fois par mois. Nettoyez-le avec de l'eau tiède et un détergent doux, et séchez-le complètement avant de le remettre.

Puis-je utiliser une rallonge ?

Non, vous ne devez jamais utiliser de rallonge ou d'adaptateur avec cet appareil. Cela présente un risque d'incendie ou de choc électrique.

Pourquoi le compresseur ne redémarre-t-il pas immédiatement ?

Attendez au moins 3 minutes après avoir éteint l'appareil avant de le rallumer ou de passer du mode Cool au mode Fan et vice-versa. Cela protège le compresseur.

Que signifient les bruits de gargouillement ?

Il s'agit du bruit normal du réfrigérant qui circule dans l'évaporateur. Ce n'est pas un signe de dysfonctionnement.

Comment tester le dispositif de détection de courant ?

Branchez l'appareil, puis appuyez sur le bouton TEST. Le bouton RESET doit sortir. Appuyez ensuite sur RESET pour rétablir l'alimentation. Si cela ne fonctionne pas, remplacez le cordon.

L'air soufflé n'est pas assez froid, que faire ?

Réglez le sélecteur de mode sur High Cool et tournez le thermostat vers un réglage plus froid. Assurez-vous que le filtre est propre et que les stores ou meubles ne bloquent pas la circulation d'air.

Quels types de garantie couvrent cet appareil ?

L'appareil bénéficie d'une garantie pièces et main-d'œuvre d'un an, et d'une garantie limitée de 2 à 5 ans pour le système de réfrigération scellé (compresseur, condenseur, évaporateur).

WARNING

For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

WARNING

Prevent Accidents

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation.
• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.

WARNING

Electrical Information

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.

• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
• Do not run air conditioner without outside protective cover in place. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

READ THIS SECTION BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE AIR CONDITIONER.

PACKAGING

INSERTS

Normal Sounds

High pitched Chatter

Today's high efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the cooling cycle.

d of Rushing Air

At the front of the unit, you may hear the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan.

Gurgle/Hiss

"Gurgling or hissing" noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation.

Vibration

Unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation.

Pinging or Swishing

Droplets of water hitting condenser during normal operation may cause "pinging or swishing" sounds.

Using Air Conditioner

To begin operating the air conditioner, follow these steps:

1. Set the temperature selector to the highest number (coldest or coolest setting).
2. Set the mode control to the highest COOL setting.
3. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
4. Once the room has cooled, adjust the temperature selector to the setting you find most comfortable.

Review the "Operating Instructions" section for other settings.

Operating Instructions

The controls featured in this manual are representative of many available models. Your model may offer slightly different features.

TEMPERATURE

MODE

Temperature Selector

This is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being operated in the "COOL MODE".

To set the desired room temperature, rotate the selector switch to the desired setting. After the set temperature is achieved, the thermostat will automatically start and stop the compressor in order to maintain the desired set temperature.

Rotate the temperature selector clockwise for higher cool setting. Higher cool settings will provide lower room temperature.

Rotate the temperature selector counter-clockwise for lower cool settings.

Lower cool settings will provide higher room temperature.

Cool Mode

The desired cool setting is selected by rotating the MODE knob to the appropriate location.

"high cool" has maximum cooling effect and airflow.

"low cool" has minimum cooling effect and airflow.

Note:If your unit is equipped with a vent handle, keep it closed for maximum efficiency.

Fan Mode

Rotate the MODE knob to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation only. Note: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run.

WARNING

Please always wait 3 minutes when turning unit off then on again, and when changing from cool to fan and back to cool. This prevents compressor from overheating & possible circuit breaker tripping.

Failure to follow these instructions may be harmful to your unit.

Air Directional Louvers

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below.

Auger Type

Rotate the Auger Wheel until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained.

Care and 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.

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

• Remove filter by sliding out from the right side.
• 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.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. 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. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• 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.
• Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

Energy Saving Ideas

• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning".
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
