E.1 Electrical Safety Information
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 Table 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power
to the unit; an extension cord may not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the
air conditioner cord plug provided.
Proper grounding must be maintained at all times. Two prong
receptacles must be replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certified
electrician.
The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes
and ordinances. You must use the three prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner. Under no circumstances should you remove the
ground prong from the plug.
E.2 Testing 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 on the end of the cord meets the UL and NEC
requirements for cord connected air conditioners.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (see Figure E.2).
3. Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
4. Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches and
remains in). The power cord is ready for use.
Once plugged in, the unit will operate normally without the need to reset the
LCDI device. If the LCDI device fails to trip when tested or if the power supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power supply cord from the
manufacturer..
