Friedrich MW12C1H - Manual (Page 4)

Congratulations
Thank you for your decision to purchase Friedrich. Your new Friedrich has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable,
efficient operation, maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Many extra features have been built into your unit to assure quiet operation,
the greatest circulation of cool, dry air, and the most economic operation.
General Instructions
This Installation and Operation Manual has been designed to insure maximum satisfaction in the performance of your unit. For years of trouble-free service,
please follow the installation instructions closely. We cannot overemphasize the importance of proper installation.
Here are some suggestions to help you use your
new Friedrich most efficiently:
1. Carefully read and follow the installation instructions.
2. Make sure the unit is the right capacity for the area being cooled.
An undersized unit makes the unit work too hard, using more
electricity than needed and increases wear. An oversized unit
will cycle on and off too rapidly, and therefore cannot control
humidity as well.
3. Clean the filter frequently (See Routine Maintenance, Page 27).
4. Do not block the air flow to and from the unit.
5. A dirty filter or improperly set controls can affect the cooling
ability of the unit.
6. If cooling is weak and you have verified that the filter is clean
