Important Safety Instructions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! Avoid Injury or damage to the unit or other property
Provide occasional ventilation during use. Do not direct airflow at fireplaces or other heat related sources as this could cause flare ups or make
units run excessively.
Do not climb on or place objects on outdoor part of the unit.
Do not hang objects off the unit.
Do not place containers with liquids on the unit.
Turn off the air conditioner at the power source when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Periodically check the condition of the unit’s installation accessories for any damage.
Do not apply heavy pressure to the radiator fins of the unit.
Operate the unit with air filter in place.
Do not block or cover the intake grille, discharge area and outlet ports.
Ensure that any electrical/electronic equipment is one yard away from the unit.
Do not use or store flammable gases near the unit.
Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.

FAULT CODES:
If the display reads "HS" , a sensor has
failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire
Service Center.
If the display reads "AS" , a sensor has
failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire
Service Center.
If the display reads "ES" , a sensor has
failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire
Service Center.
YOU WILL SEE:
TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY:
DO THIS:
PRESS AND HOLD THE
UP/DOWN BUTTONS
TOGETHER FOR 3 SECONDS
Note: The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
TO TURN UNIT OFF: YOU WILL SEE:
DO THIS:
PRESS
ON/OFF BUTTON
Note: If the unit is turned off in heat mode (if applicable) or fan only mode, it will return to the same setting when it is turned on again.
When the unit is turned off in cool or energy saver mode, it will run in energy saver mode when it is turned on again, but the setting of
temperature and fan speed will remain. When unit is shut off in the Heat Mode, the fan will continue to run for a few seconds to
dissipate residual heat within the unit.
ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.
The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly.
This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue
to run during this time.
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the possibility of
having to roll through to select another mode.
The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees (in cool mode), 55F
and 80F degrees (in heat mode).
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.

Operating Instructions & Care and Cleaning & Energy Saving Ideas
Operating Instructions
(continued)
4-Way Air Directional Louvers
The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down
and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. To adjust the air direc-
tional louvers side-to-side, use the center handle as you move it side-to-side.
(4-WAY)
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Care and Cleaning
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.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
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.
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged, store air
conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Energy Saving Ideas
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.
