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.
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: |
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 tempe- rature 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 High Speed and adjusts to a slower 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 either the fan slower or fan faster 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. |
TO USE THE ENERGY SAVER (ECON) FEATURE: | YOU WILL SEE: Note: In this mode, the fan will continue to run for 1 minu- te after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 20 seconds at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the com- pressor turns back on. |
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" button. |
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, Energy Saver, or Fan Only was the last mode selected) . The temperature maintained will be the same as previously set. To change the set temperature, press "COOL" 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 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 operation. To reset after cleaning the filter, press the "Filter Reset" button and the light will go off. |
|
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. |
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: |
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.
Warnings:
- 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.
- The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees.
- 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.
- After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models) The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
|
Air Directional Louvers Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver type described below. Auger Type The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired Up/Down direction is obtained. |
Care and Cleaning
Remark: The appearance of actual air filter | Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to 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.
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
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. |
