NOTE:
This manual includes installation instructions for window mount and thru-the-wall mount methods. TwinTemp®heat/
cool units are designed for permanent thru-the-wall installation. Mounting the unit in a window will require a window
mounting accessory kit, available through your Friedrich dealer.
READ THIS FIRST! ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check local electrical codes and the information
below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C. voltage and hertz as marked on the data plate located
on the chassis. Only alternating current (A.C.), can be used. Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used. Consult your "OPERATING
GUIDE" for the correct type of receptacle for your model.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - USE ON SINGLE OUTLET CIRCUIT ONLY unless all amp values on the nameplate are 7.5 or
less. An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner, therefore, it is necessary that the elec-
trical protection is adequate. Due to momentary high current demand when your air conditioner is started, use a "TIME DELAY"
fuse or a HACR circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power company if in doubt.
Refer to the electrical data plate located on the air conditioner chassis to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for
your model (See Figure E on Page 12 for electrical receptacle location).
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong of approved type and a matching receptacle is required. NEVER CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS TO OPERATE AN AIR CONDITIONER.
The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups distinguished by the first two letters of the model designations
and cabinet sizes listed below.

STANDARD SASH WINDOW INSTALLATIONS
STEP 1 Remove decorative plastic return air grille to a safe area away from unit. The return air grille can be removed by pulling
at the sides on either the top or bottom.
STEP 2 Also remove the installation hardware to a safe area away from the unit.
STEP 3 Remove the chassis retainer by removing the far right screw in the basepan (see Figure A); save this screw to reattach the
chassis retainer after installation (Step 15). Also, remove and discard the two retainer screws and plastic bushings located
at the rear of the unit.
STEP 4 While an assistant holds the cabinet stationary, use the hand pull at the front of the base pan (see Figure A) to pull the
chassis out of the cabinet. Remove white foam blocks used to restrain the compressor during shipment. Inspect basepan
for dislodged white blocks, and remove. Do not remove any other foam.
STEP5 Anchor the side angles (Item #6) by engaging the tabs at each end of the sill plate (see Figure B, Page 4) with the bottom loops
of the side angle. Engage the tabs at each end of the top angle (Item #5) with the top loops of the side angle (see Figure B, Page
4). Install two (2) screws (Item #7) to secure the top angle tabs and the side angle to the cabinet (see Figure B, Page 4).
STEP6 Check the window sill and frame to be sure they are in good condition and firmly anchored to the wall. Repair if necessary.
STEP7 CABINET MOUNTING – Raise the lower sash window ¼" more than the height of the cabinet. Carefully slide the cabinet
through the open window until the sill plate channel rests behind the window sill and the top support rests against the window
(see Figure C, Page 4.) Center side to side and drill three (3) 5⁄32" dia. pilot holes into the window sill using the holes in the cabinet
sill plate as a guide. Install three (3) #12A x 2" long screws (Item #4), see Figure C, Page 4.

STEP 8 OUTSIDE SUPPORT MOUNTING – Assemble the support brackets (Item #1) to the bottom rails of the cabinet with four
(4) 10-24 1" long screws (Item #2) and four (4) 10-24 flat nuts (Item #3). Adjust the support brackets to bring the bottom pads
in contact with the wall surface. (A 1" x 4" or 2" x 4" SPACER SHOULD BE USED BETWEEN THE WALL AND THE
SUPPORT BRACKETS WHEN INSTALLED ON ALUMINUM OR VINYL SIDING). Drill 5⁄32" dia. pilot holes and secure
the brackets to the wall with two (2) #12A x 2" long screws (Item #4). Adjust the support brackets to provide an approximate
3/8" down slope toward the outside for drainage. (See Figure D, Page 4). Tighten all screws.
NOTE: The supply air, intake air, condenser air inlets and outlets must be unobstructed to avoid recirculation of rejected heated air.

STEP 9 CUT WINGBOARD PANELS – Measure and cut the wingboard panels from the Masonite supplied (Item #8) to fit
the spaces between the side window channels and the sides of the cabinet.
(See Figure E.)
NOTE: AFTER CUTTING THE PANELS, MAKE A TRIAL TEST TO SEE IF THEY FIT THE SPACE WITH ABOUT 1⁄8"
CLEARANCE BEFORE GOING TO STEP 10.
STEP 10 ASSEMBLE THE CLIPS TO THE WINGBOARD PANELS – Assemble the "J" type speed nuts (Item 9) and spring
steel clips (Item 10) to the edges of the cut wingboard panels (See Figure F.)
STEP 11 INSTALL THE SIDE WINGBOARD PANELS – Be sure the cabinet has been secured to the window sill and that
the outside support brackets have been installed as shown in Figures C and D on Page 4. Raise the window sash and
install the right and left side wingboard panels. (See Figure G, Page 7.)
STEP 12 INSTALL THEWINDOW SEALING GASKETS – Measure and cut the vinyl window seal gasket (grey color, Item
# 12) to fit the width of the window, and install as shown in Figure H on Page 7. Pull the window sash down behind
the gasket. Measure and cut the dark foam window seal gasket (Item #13) and install it between the upper glass panel
and the top part of the lower sash. (See Figure H, Page 7).
NOTE: FOR REASONS OF SECURITYAND SAFETY, THE CUSTOMER MUST PROVIDE A MEANS
OF PREVENTING THE WINDOW FROM OPENING.

STEP 13 When possible, caulk the outside of the installation with industrial type caulking to prevent weather leaks.
STEP 14 INSTALL CHASSIS: After installing the shell, slide the chassis into the shell stopping approximately 3" from full insertion.
Stuff the chassis seal gasket one inch deep between the chassis and the shell (see Figure I, page 8). Begin at either bottom
corner and go up the side, across the top, and down the opposite side. Then push the chassis all the way into the shell for the
remaining distance so that the plastic front meets the front edge of the shell.
If chassis seal gasket is not installed, the operation of the unit will be negatively affected. Also, the operation noise and outside
noise will be amplified.
STEP 15 Reattach the chassis retainer with the same screw as Step 3 (See Figure A, Page 3).
STEP 16 OPTIONAL: The factory assembles the supply cord so that it exits the left side of the unit. At the consumer’s discretion, the
supply cord can be made to exit the right side of the unit. To do this, remove the black rubber coated cord clamp from under
the far left screw. (See Fig I, Page 8) Replace this screw back into the far left screw hole. Route the supply cord over the top
of the return air grille clips and reattach the clamp to the adjacent screw hole. (Fig I & J, Page 8) Detach the right side cord
clamp, route the supply cord through it and reattach. The supply cord should be pulled taunt so as not to rest on the return air
grille clips.

THROUGH-THE-WALL INSTALLATIONS
The following instructions apply to installations in wood, masonry, brick, concrete or
cinder block construction
STEP 1 Follow steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the "STANDARD SASH WINDOW INSTALLATION" instructions.
STEP 2 CABINET PREPARATION: Remove the sill plate from the cabinet by removing the four nuts and screw retaining the sill
plate. Note that the chassis retainer is secured by a right side nut and screw (See Detail 1, Figure A.) Bend the tabs of the sill
plate down into its channel at both ends of the plate or cut them off (See Detail 2, Figure A.) Turn the sill plate end to end,
180° and reinstall. Reverse the orientation of nuts and screws so that the head of screw is on bottom of cabinet facing up and
nut is on top facing down (See Detail 3, Figure A.) Insure that the chassis retainer is reinstalled as shown in the detail.
