OPERATING THE CONTROLS
Important Safety Instructions Operating the Controls Room Cabinet
Thermostat Control Operation Switch
The thermostat knob is
used to control the room
temperature. The unit
automatically cycles on
and off to maintain room
temperature.
A comfortable
temperature will be
maintained in most
rooms when the control
is set at about “5” or “6”.
HI HEAT provides
heating with high fan
speed operation.
LO HEAT provides
heating with low fan
speed operation.
STOP setting stops
heating or cooling.
However, power
remains connected
to the unit and the Freeze Sentinel still functions.
FAN provides fan operation without cooling or heating.
HI COOL provides cooling with high fan speed
operation.
LO COOL provices cooling with low fan speed
operation.
TO REMOVE THE ROOM CABINET
Additional controls are located behind the room cabinet.
To remove:
Pull out to release it
from the tabs. Then
lift up.
To replace:
Place the tabs over
the top rail. Push
inward until it snaps
into place.
Room Cabinet
Air Louvers
To change the louver direction, remove the room
cabinet and 2 louver screws that hold the louvers in
place. Turn the louver section 180˚ (end for end),
replace the screws and replace the room cabinet. The
textured face of the louver section must be toward the
room side.
NOTE: For high-mounted Zonelines where greater
room cabinet louver adjustments are required, order
the RAF45 Room Cabinet.
The direction of the heated or cooled air may be adjusted by
removing and turning the louvers around.

OTHER FEATURES
Ventilation Control
The ventilation control lever is located at the lower
left side of the unit, behind the room cabinet.
This knob is set at CLOSE at the factory. When in
this position, the vent door is closed and only indoor
air is circulated by the air conditioner.
Switching the knob to OPEN opens the vent door
to allow outdoor air to enter the room. However,
leaving the vent door OPEN reduces heating or
cooling effectiveness and increases operating costs.
Remote Control Central Desk Control (CDC)
The unit may be controlled either by the controls
on the unit or connecting to a low voltage remote
thermostat.
See Installation Instructions.
The unit may be connected to a Central Desk Control
system by connecting the wires from the central control
system to the CDC leads located in a compartment
behind the room cabinet. These leads may also be used
as an interface for other systems used to control the unit
such as motion detectors, key-activated systems, etc.
The Freeze Sentinel remains in an active mode to help
protect against low temperature damage even though
the unit may be OFF at the central control location.
See Installation Instructions.
Temperature Limiter
The normal range of the thermostat control is
approximately 60°F. to 85°F.
The control range
may be narrowed
by the use of the
temperature
limiting screws
located behind
the control panel.
To set the limiting screws:
1. Remove the room cabinet.
2. Pull both THERMOSTAT knob and the
OPERATION knob off the shafts and remove the
control panel.
3. Remove and relocate either or both stop screws on
the exposed control box cover.
To limit the maximum
heating temperature,
move the stop screw at
the left of the knob shaft
clockwise. To limit the
minimum cooling
temperature, move the
stop screw on the right
counterclockwise.
Make sure the stop arm is
between the stop screws as shown.
Because actual room temperature can be affected by
location and installation as well as outdoor weather
conditions, you may want to experiment to determine
the stop screw locations that best meet your
temperature requirements.
After adjusting the limiting screws, reinstall the
control panel, knobs and room cabinet.

Fan Cycle Switch Freeze Sentinel
The Fan Cycle Switch is located under the control
panel behind the room cabinet. This switch is set at
CONT at the factory to provide continuous fan
operation in cool or heat modes. Leaving the switch
in the CONT setting allows continuous circulation
of room air and will result in a more balanced
temperature throughout the room. If you want the fan
to cycle on and off with the compressor or resistance
heater, set the switch at CYCLE.
The Freeze Sentinel sensor helps prevent plumbing
damage due to sub freezing temperatures—even if you
have turned the operation switch to STOP. The sensor
automatically turns on the heater and fan if the room
temperature falls to about 40°F.
You do not have to do anything to activate the Freeze
Sentinel. It will work as long as power to the unit has
not been interrupted.

CARE AND CLEANING
Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
Air Filters
The Zoneline air filters should be cleaned at least
every 30 days. Clogged filters reduce cooling,
heating and air flow.
Keeping these filters clean will:
• Decrease cost of operation.
• Save energy.
• Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
• Reduce costly compressor problems.
To remove the air filters:
To clean the air filters:
• Vacuum off the heavy soil.
• Run water through the filters.
• Dry thoroughly before replacing them.
To replace the air filters:
NOTE: Do not operate the Zoneline without the
filters in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged
it should be replaced immediately. Operating the unit
without the filters in place or with damaged filters will
allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and reduce
the efficiency of the unit.
Replacement filters are available from your GE dealer,
GE Service and Parts Center or authorized Customer

servicers.
30 days – needs cleaning
60 days – cooling, heating and airflow are greatly reduced.
