About YourHeatPump(3500Seriesonly)

Heat pmnps can save money by removing heat

temperature is below fl'eezing-- and releasing
that heat indom_.

To get the best pex_ommnce flxm_ ):our heat

cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
SAFETY-READ CAREFULLY

_k CAUTION:

• Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local
codes and ordinances.

• For personal safety, this Zoneline must be properly
grounded.

• Protective devices (fuses or circuit breakers)
acceptable for Zoneline installations axe specified

on the nameplate of each refit.

• Do not use an extension cord with this unit.

Aluminum building wiring may present special
problems--consult a qualified electrician.

When the unit is in the STOP position there is still
voltage to the electrical controls.

Discmmect the power to the refit before
servicing by:

1 Removing the power cord (if it has one) from

the wall receptacle.

OR
2 Removing the branch circuit fuses or turning

the circuit breakers off at the panel.

REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?

importantinformation.

Use the correct wall case

This unit is designed to be installed in a GE plastic or
insulated metal wall case. This minimizes condensation

fl'om fimning on the room side ot the case.

If the cmTent wall case is not insulated, you can reduce
the possibility of condensation tomfing by inst;flling

insulation kit ]_Kg01 I,, available where you pro'chased

the mfit.

Use the correct outdoor grille

You should use the outdoor grilles shown on the

"Essential Elements" label on the top of the unit.

• If an existing grille is not replaced, capacit)' and
efficiency will be reduced and the refit may tifil to

operam propedy or fifil prematm'ely: A deflector kit,
]_&K40, nlay be used with grilles that were not

designed t0r )'ore" new GE Zonelines. The RAK40
contains air deflectms and gaskets that mount to the

refit to direct the hot exhaust air away fl'om the air
intake to allow the refit to flmction properly. The

grille must have a 65% minimmn fl'ee area.

• Any vertical deflecto_ in the existing rear grille should
be rellloved to decrease condenser air recirctllation

which can cause the refit to "short-cycle" and lead

to pi'ei/lattli'e COli/ponent filihu'e.

If this refit is to be installed in a new ducted application

OPTIONAL- DRAIN KIT INSTALLATION

Dry Air 2500 Series models axe designed to improve dehumidification by 25%. Since more moisture will be removed from
the air, there is a greater possibility that water will drip from the wall case than with a stm_dard unit. To prevent this water
from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RADIO Drain Kit.
