Overview

This document is a Use & Care Manual for a Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioner, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioner is designed to provide cooling, heating (on some models), dehumidifying, and fan-only operation for indoor spaces. It is a self-contained unit that can be easily moved and set up in different rooms. The appliance works by drawing in room air, processing it, and then discharging either cool or warm air, depending on the selected mode. For cooling, it requires an exhaust hose to vent warm air outside, while for heating and fan-only modes, the exhaust hose is not always necessary. The unit features a control panel and a remote control for convenient operation, allowing users to adjust settings such as temperature, fan speed, and operating mode. It also includes a timer function for scheduled operation and a sleep mode for optimized nighttime comfort.

Usage Features

The portable air conditioner offers multiple operating modes to suit various needs:

  • COOLING MODE: In this mode, the unit provides cooling. Users must attach the exhaust adaptor hose to vent warm air outside. The temperature can be set using the "Temp" buttons, and the fan speed can be adjusted. The manual emphasizes placing the unit close to a window or opening for proper warm air exhaust and ensuring a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the unit.
  • HEATING MODE (on some models): For models equipped with heating, this mode provides warmth. The exhaust adaptor hose is not required. Users can set the desired heat temperature, but fan speed cannot be selected in this mode.
  • DRY MODE: This mode is for dehumidifying the room. The exhaust adaptor hose is not needed, but the collected water must be discharged through the drainage system. The fan runs at a low speed, and the display shows the room temperature. Keeping doors and windows closed is recommended for best effect.
  • AUTO MODE: When set to AUTO, the air conditioner automatically selects cooling, heating (if applicable), or fan-only operation based on the user-selected temperature and the current room temperature. The unit will maintain the set temperature automatically, and fan speed cannot be manually selected in this mode. The exhaust hose must always be attached in AUTO mode.
  • FAN MODE: In this mode, the unit circulates air without cooling or heating. The exhaust hose and drainage hose are not required. This mode is useful for removing stale or smoky air from a room. Users can select the desired fan speed.

The unit can be controlled via both a Control Panel on the unit itself and a Remote Control. The control panel features buttons for Mode, Fan Speed, Timer, Swing, Sleep, and On/Off, along with a display for temperature/time and indicators for various settings. The remote control mirrors most of these functions, including Mode Indication, Temperature Buttons, Fan Speed Selection, Timer Buttons, Swing Button, and On/Off Button. It also includes a RESET + LOCK pin button for returning to factory settings or locking the keypad.

A TIMER OPERATION allows users to set both delay stop and delay start functions, whether the unit is ON or OFF. The timer can be adjusted in 0.5-hour increments up to 10 hours, then in 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. The settings are confirmed automatically or by pressing the TIMER button again. To cancel, the timing can be set to 0.0.

The SLEEP OPERATION mode gradually increases the selected temperature by 2°F after 30 minutes, and again after another 30 minutes. This new temperature is maintained for 7 hours before reverting to the original setting. This mode can be canceled at any time. This feature is unavailable in FAN or DRY modes.

The SWING OPERATION button allows the louver to swing automatically or stop at a desired angle for optimal air distribution.

A CHECK FILTER FEATURE reminds users to clean the air filter after 250 hours of operation. An indicator light illuminates, and pressing the "Filter" button resets it after cleaning.

The manual also details the Installation Instructions for exhausting hot air, including extending and screwing the exhaust hose to adaptors, sliding the assembly onto the unit, and affixing it to a window slider kit. Specific instructions are provided for both double-hung sash windows and sliding sash windows, including cutting foam seals, placing the window slider kit, adjusting its length, and securing it with screws and a sash lock. It is recommended to keep the exhaust hose length to a minimum (up to 59 inches) and avoid sharp bends or sags.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the air conditioner's efficiency and longevity. The manual provides clear instructions for CARE & CLEANING:

  • Air Filter Cleaning: The unit has two filters (Filter A and Filter B). Filter A is located behind the grill of the back panel and can be removed by grasping the upper panel tab. Filter B is removed by loosening screws and taking down the air inlet grille. Filters can be washed with liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water, rinsed thoroughly, and gently shaken to remove excess water. They must be completely dry before replacement. Alternatively, filters can be vacuumed clean.
  • Cabinet Cleaning: The cabinet and front can be dusted with an oil-free cloth or wiped with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Harsh cleaners, wax, or polish should not be used. Excess water should be wrung from the cloth before wiping around controls to prevent damage.
  • Winter Storage: If the appliance is to be stored during winter, it should be covered with plastic or returned to its carton.

The manual also includes information on DRAINAGE for the dehumidifying mode. A garden hose (sold separately) can be connected to the hose connector (after removing the rubber stopper) to drain condensate. The hose can discharge into a lower drain or be connected to a condensate pump. For cooling mode, the rubber stopper should be replaced in the hose connector for maximum performance.

Important Safety Instructions are highlighted throughout the manual, covering electrical safety, preventing accidents, and general precautions. Users are warned against using extension cords or adapter plugs, removing grounding prongs, or operating the unit with wet hands. It emphasizes that the power supply cord contains a current detection device, and if damaged, it must be replaced by the product manufacturer. The manual also advises against inserting fingers or objects into the air discharge area, blocking grilles, or storing flammable gases near the unit.

Normal Sounds are described to help users distinguish typical operating noises from potential issues. These include "Gurgle/Hiss" from refrigerant, "Sound of Rushing Air" from the fan, "High pitched Chatter" from the compressor, and "Vibration" due to an uneven floor.

Fault Codes are explained to assist in basic troubleshooting:

  • "EA" indicates a room temperature sensor failure.
  • "ES" indicates an evaporator temperature sensor failure.
  • "E4" indicates a display panel communication failure.
  • "P1" means the bottom tray is full, requiring the unit to be moved to a drain location and the water drained.

The manual concludes with a "Before You Call" section, offering a troubleshooting guide for common occurrences like the air conditioner not operating, air not feeling cold enough, ice forming on coils, or unusual noise, providing solutions that users can attempt before contacting service.
