Install the new air conditioner according to these installation instructions to achieve the best performance. All wall sleeves used to mount the new air conditioner must be in good structural condition and have a compatible rear grille in order to securely attach the new air conditioner. (FIG. 18A) With the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve, you can maintain the best performance of the new air conditioner.
Clean the interior of an existing sleeve. (Do not disturb seals.) Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall before installing the air conditioner. Use the nails or screws through sleeve into wall, if needed. Repaint sleeve if needed. Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the unit. If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve, and it is not FRIEDRICH, use procedure B or C below.

4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes. The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application. Unit is running but cooling is ineffective Check cold air circulation for smooth flow.
