This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside
temperature is above 60°F (15.6°C) and below 115°F (46.1°C), so it won't
cool a room if it is already cool outside.
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the
outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most
of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity,
there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.
Frosting
This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty
filter, cool damp weather, or all of these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN
ONLY
and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer
will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to
operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter
than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis
seal gasket (Item 14) is properly installed (refer to installation instructions).
