ACCESSORIES

MERV 13 FILTER / FILTER BRACKETS
FreshAire MERV 13 filtration is effective at capturing and removing microorganisms from the air, which according to ASHRAE, the leading authority on the science behind advanced indoor air quality, include harmful airborne viruses. Maintaining the best indoor air quality possible requires that you prevent harmful pollutants from circulating throughout the space. One way to prevent this is to trap the pollutants with mechancial filtration. Kühl® is the only window air conditioner that can utilize on optional MERV 13 air filter, which is at least 85% efficient at capturing particles between 1 and 3 microns in size and up to 50% efficient in filtering particles between 0.30 and 1 micron in size such as bacteria and sneeze nuclei.
Based on ASHRAE Guidance for Building Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Filter bracket required for MERV 13 filter installation.
Minimum bracket order of 24.
Minimum filter order quantity of eight.

*WINDOW MOUNTING KITS: KÜHL+*
Window kits are included with cooling only models, but are an accessory item for Kühl+ heat/cool models.
Window kits are required for installation of Kühl+ models in a window.

SPECIFICATIONS

ENERGY STAR® models

• KHS10A10A heat pump operates on 115 volt and is not equipped with supplemental heat. Will not provide heat at temperatures below 40˚F.
  Friedrich room air conditioners are designed to operate in outdoor temperatures from 60˚F to 115˚F.
  Kühl+ Heat Pump heating information indicates heat pump performance. Kühl+ Electric Heat heating information indicates electric heat strip performance.
  For Kühl+ Heat Pump electric heating performance refer to corresponding Kühl+ Electric Heat model.
  As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Friedrich Air Conditioning Co. has determined that the selected ENERGY STAR® models meet the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. EER is the unit’s Energy Efficiency Ratio; CEER is the unit’s Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio.
  Your energy costs will depend on your utility rates and use. The estimated energy cost is based on an electricity cost of $.13 per kWh.

  Due to continuing research in new energy-saving technology, specifications are subject to change without notice.

INSTALLATION

• Minimum extensions when mounted in a window.
  Minimum widths achieved using one side curtain assembly as opposed to both in a standard installation.
  NOTE:** S, M and L sleeves may be installed in window with no side kits if properly installed.
