Friedrich SC06 is a high efficiency casement room air conditioner, meaning it's great for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home during warm weather, operating best in temperatures between 60°F (16°C) to 115°F (46°C). To use the AC, simply plug it into a grounded 3 prong outlet, press the RESET button on the power cord, then press and release the RESET button again. There are four function settings: OFF, Hl COOL, LO COOL, and FAN ONLY.

WARNING: Before op er at ing your unit

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 Figure 1.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical

power to the unit. An extension cord will not.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with

the wall plug provided.

This insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong

receptacle you will need to replace it with a three-prong

grounded receptacle that meets 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.

Keep the filter clean

Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top

performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.

Instructions for removing and cleaning the ﬁ lter can be

found on page 4.

Provide good airflow

Make sure that the airﬂ ow to and from the unit is clear.

Your air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top

of the unit, and takes in unconditioned air at the bottom.

Airﬂ ow is critical to good operation. It is just as important

on the outside of the building that the airﬂ ow around the

unit exterior is not blocked.

Unit Placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall

that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will

operate even more efﬁ ciently. Using drapes or blinds on

the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit’s

efﬁ ciency.

For the best cooling performance & highest energy efficiency

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 efﬁ ciency. If the seal gasket

has not been installed, please refer to your installation

instruction manual.

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: The 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.

If the device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply cord

is damaged it must be replaced with a new supply cord from

the manufacturer. We recommend you contact our Technical

Assistance Line at 1-800-541-6645 ext. 662. To expedite service,

please have your model and serial number available.

Function control

There are four positions:

Turn to OFF to turn everything off.

Hl COOL - The fan runs continuously at high speed to

cool the room quickly; the compressor goes on and off to

maintain the temperature selected.

LO COOL - The fan runs continuously at low speed for

gentle circulation of cooled air; the compressor goes on and

off to maintain the temperature selected.

FAN ONLY - The fan runs alone without the compressor

and circulates air without cooling.

To remove filter

Remove the slotted screws from each side of the plastic

front panel and remove the panel (Figure 3). The ﬁ lter can

now be removed for cleaning. Use caution when removing

the ﬁ lter. The internal metal components are sharp. Clean

with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, shake out,

and allow to dry.

Replace the ﬁ lter in the unit, and replace the front. This

should be done on a regular basis during the cooling

season.

Your Friedrich Casement model is a high efﬁ ciency unit

designed to be installed in a casement window that does

not permit the use of a standard window model. It is simple

to operate and gives you optimum performance despite its

small size.

To start unit

If your air conditioner is installed and plugged into a proper

receptacle, it is ready to go.

Temperature control

The right hand knob is the thermostat, turn it clockwise for

cooler, counter clockwise for warmer.

Troubleshooting tips

Won’t cool?

If your air conditioner operates, but won’t cool; check to see

if the controls are properly set. Check the ﬁ lter and clean

thoroughly if needed. Check to see if the vent door is closed.

Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to

installation instructions).

Won’t run?

Make sure the power cord is plugged in all the way. Check

for a bad fuse, tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device.

Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset instructions and to conﬁ rm

proper fuse size.

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather

when the outside temperature is above 60°F (16°C) and

below 115°F (46°C), so it won’t cool a room if it is already

cool outside. If you want to cool a room in the winter, set

the unit to Fan Only and set the Fresh Air/Exhaust control

to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of outside air.

Condensation is normal

Air conditioners actually pump heat and humidity from your

room to the outside air. Hu mid i ty be comes 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 op er a tion.

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufﬁ cient airﬂ ow across

the coils, a dirty ﬁ lter, cool, damp weath er, or all of these.

Set unit to Fan Only and the frost will disappear. Setting

the ther mo stat a little warmer will probably prevent the

frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich

QuietMasters

operate as quietly as possible. An air con-

di tion er mount ed in a wall is quieter than one mounted in

a window. If mounted in a window, the window mount kit

provided with QuietMaster

models will reduce operating

sound levels, when prop er ly installed. It is important to en-

sure that the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer

to installation instructions).

Cleaning your air conditioner

The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with

warm water and a mild detergent. The indoor coil can be

vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be

dirty. 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 ﬁ lter 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 thoroughly

before reinstalling the ﬁ lter.
