Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with
the air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong receptacle you
will need to have it replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certi
¿
ed
electrician. The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local
codes and ordinances. Under no circumstances should you remove the
ground prong from the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished
with the air conditioner.
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
meets the UL and NEC requirements for cord connected air conditioners
effective August 2004.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (See Figure 2).
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button trips and pops out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button latches and
remains in). The power supply cord is ready for operation.
NOTE: LCDI device is not intended to be used as a switch.
Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset
the LCDI device.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels.
Doors should have weather stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and
windows.
Proper installation of seal gasket
Make sure the seal gasket has been installed properly to minimize noise and
improve ef
¿
ciency. If the seal gasket has not been installed, please refer to
installation instructions on page 8.
