Frigidaire Heavy-Duty Window Air Conditioner
Frigidaire's FRA296ST2 28,500 BTU 230-Volt Window-Mounted Heavy-Duty Air Conditioner is perfect for rooms up to 1,960 square feet. It quickly cools the room on hot days and quiet operation keeps you cool without keeping you awake. Ready-Select electronic controls allow you to set the comfort level to your preference, while the convenient temperature readout displays the set temperature. Effortless temperature sensing remote control allows you to see, set and maintain room temperature from across the room. The multi-speed fan features three different fan speeds for more cooling flexibility and the multi-directional comfort control design allows you to easily control the direction of the cool air, wherever the unit is mounted. Plus, the clean air ionizer removes pollen and impurities from the air providing relief for allergy sufferers. This unit requires a special 230V electrical outlet and will not operate with a standard 115V household electrical outlet.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
This unit has an Energy Efficiency Ratio of 8.5 and is sure to provide you with savings, along with convenient, cool comfort. In Energy-saver mode the fan continues to run for 1 minute after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 20 seconds at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on. The low power operation and Energy Saver mode helps to conserve energy and save you money.
