About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)

Heat pmnps can save money by removing heat
fl'om the outside air----even when the outside

temperature is below freezing--and releasing
that heat indom_.

To get the best pet_kmnance flxm_ ):ore" heat

otten. Raising the heat setting 2-3 degrees will
cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating

elements in order to reach the new temperatm'e

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 are specified

on the nameplate of each unit.

• Do not use m_ extension cord with this refit.

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

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

Discmmect the power to the unit 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.

Installation Instructions

REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?

Check the "Essential

Elements" label for

importantinformation.

Use the correct wall case

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

from limning on the room side of the case.

If the current wall case is not insulated, you can reduce
the possibility of condensation limning by installing

insulation kit ]_Kg01 i,, a\_filable where you pmvhased

the unit.

NOT[:: There are several extra holes in the refit side
flanges fin" installation in _:dl cases other than GE.

To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the inst;dler
should use an awl or other shaq) tool to imncmre the

insulation in the appropriate holes befln'e installing

the attachment scre_vs.

Replacing a ducted unit

New ducted installation:

If this unit is to be installed in a new ducted application
using a duct adapter kit, the kit must be installed before

the refit is placed in the wall case. The installation

instructions are packed with the kit.

plate

Existing ducted installation:

Replacement of an existing ducted refit may require
different components. Request this infimnation ti'om

w)ur sales representative.

• Replacing 230/208 volt milts:

See page 14,

• Replacing 265 volt milts:

See pages 15 and 16.

Use the correct outdoor grille

You should use the outdoor grilles shown on the

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

• ]fan eMsting grille is not replaced, capaci D' and

eflidencv will be reduced and the refit may tail to

operate properly or tifil prematm'ely. A deflector kit,

I_L_K40, may be used with grilles that were not
designed fin" yore" new GE Zonelines. The ILM(40

contains air deflectms and gaskets that motmt to the
refit to direct the hot exhaust air away fi'om the air

intake to allow the refit to fimction properly. The
grille must have a 65% minimum fl'ee area.

• Any vertical detlectms in the existing rear grille should
be removed to decrease condenser air recirculation

that can cause the unit to "short-cycle" and lead

to pi'eli/attli'e COlilponent fifilure.

Use the correct power cord

I,ocal codes may require the use of arc thult or

leakage current detection devices on 230/208 volt
installations.

All wiring, including installation of the receptacle,
must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes,

the use of an arc tault or leakage current detection
device on the power cord. Be sure to select the

correct cord fin" wmr installation.

Power cords may include an arc fault interruption or
a leakage current detection interruption device, A

test and reset button is provided on the plug case or

Installation Instructions

OPTIONAL--DRAIN KIT INSTALLATION

Dry Air 25 Series models are 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 thml with a standm'd unit. To prevent this water
from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RAD10 Drain Kit.
