Air Conditioner Features & Operating Instructions
Air Conditioner Features
ELECTRONIC CONTROL: Before you begin, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the control panel and remote as shown below and all its functions, then follow the symbol for the functions you desire. The unit can be controlled by the touch pad alone or with the remote.
Battery Size: AAA
Warning: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Operating Instructions
NOTE: The following instructions represent the Touch Pad, the same instructions can be used for the Remote Control.
TO TURN UNIT ON:
YOU WILL SEE:
- NOTE: The unit will run in energy saver(eco) mode when powered on each time, if last shutdown is in cool or energy saver(eco) mode. In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 90 seconds at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on.
TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE SETTlNG:
YOU WILL SEE:
Note: Tap or hold either up (∧ ) or down ( ∨) button until the desired temperature is seen on the display. This temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere between 60 °F (16 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C) . If you want the display to read the actual room temperature. See "To Operate on Fan Only" section on Page 7.
TO ADJUST FAN SPEEDS:
YOU WILL SEE:
TO USE AUTO FAN FEATURE:
YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: Fan starts at Low Speed and adjusts to a higher speeds the room temperature dictates. For example, if the room doesn't get too warm, it will stay at the slowest speed. If the room temperature rises quickly, such as a door being opened, it will automatically go to the highest speed. The fan speeds will re-adjust back to the slowest speed as the room returns to the original set temperature. Press the fan speed button to adjust the fan speed manually.
TO OPERATE ON FAN ONLY:
YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air on some models. (Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you prefer. (Except “Auto Fan”). During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode.
AUTO FEATURE:
YOU WILL SEE:
Note: In this mode, the fan remains on all the time with the compressor cycling on and off when room temperature is reached.
TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE SETTlNG:
YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: Tap or hold either up ( ) or down ( ) button until the desired temperature is seen on the display. This temperature will be automatically maintained anywhere between 62 °F (17 °C) and 86 °F (30 °C). If you want the display to read the actual room temperature. See "To Operate on Fan Only" section
COOL FEATURE:
YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: In this mode, the fan remains on all the time.
SLEEP FEATURE:
YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: In this mode the selected temperature will increase by 2 °F 30 minutes after the mode is selected. The temperature will then increase by another 2 °F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will be maintained for 7 hours before it returns to the originally selected temperature. This ends the "Sleep" mode and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed. The "Sleep" mode program can be cancelled at any time during operation by again pressing the "Sleep", “mode”, “power” button or (∧ ) and (∨ ) buttons.
TIMER: DELAY STOP/START FEATURE
YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH TIME IS CHOSEN:
- Note: For Delay Stop, the unit must be in the On position
- Note: For Delay Start, the unit must be in the Off position.
- First, Press TIMER button, then adjust timer setting, tap or hold the UP arrow (∧ ) or the DOWN arrow ( ∨) to change delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining until start (8, 7.5, 7, etc.). The Delay Start Operation automatically selects cooling with maximum Fan speed (if Cool, eco, or Fan Only was the last mode selected) . The temperature maintained will be the same as previously set. To change the set temperature, press "mode" then Up or Down arrows until the desired temperature is indicated on the display. After 5 seconds, the control will automatically change the display back to the hours remaining until the unit will start/stop. Pressing the unit timer or on/off button at any time will cancel the Delay Start/Stop function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated again.
CHECK FILTER FEATURE, YOU WILL SEE:
- Note: This feature is a reminder to clean the Air Filter (See Care and Cleaning) for more efficient operation. The LED (light) will illuminate after 250 hours of fan operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the "Filter Reset" button and the light will go off.
REMOTE SENSING FEATURE (on some models):
- NOTE: Unit display shows the set temperature
- NOTE: Remote display is actual temperature at remote control only
- Note: This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY, the unit must be in a cooling mode.
- To activate the remote sensing feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the remote sensing button. Next, use the" ∧∨ ” buttons to set the desired temperature at the remote. (Note that the set temperature will only be displayed on the unit itself ). The signal icon on the remote control will pulse each time it sends a signal. lt will periodically send this signal until the feature is deactivated by pressing the remote sensing button. lf the unit does not receive the remote sensing signal during a maximum of 200 seconds interval, the unit will end remote sensing mode automatically. The display on the remote control indicates the temperature at the remote ONLY.
- NOTE: The Remote Sensing function can be terminated either by pressing the Remote Sensing button again or the main ON/OFF button on the unit.
FAULT CODES:
- 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.
- If the display reads "CS", a sensor has failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.
TO CHANGE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY:
YOU WILL SEE:
Note: The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
TO TURN UNIT OFF:
YOU WILL SEE:
- 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(eco) mode, it will run in energy saver(eco) mode when it is turned on again, but the setting of temperature and fan speed will remain.
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. 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.
- After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
Air Directional Louvers: Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below.
Slider Type: The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Drag the adjuster tablet until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained.
Care and Cleaning & Energy Saving Ideas
Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
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.
- Open the front panel
- 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
NOTE: When replacing the air filter after cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter are on the upper part of filter, and placed outward as shown in the drawing on the left side.
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.
Energy Saving Ideas
- Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
- 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
