IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

A WARNING!

Riskof electric shock. Can cause injury or death. For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

[]

This Zoneline must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. See the Installation Instructions in the back of this manual.

[]

Replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired.

Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length

or at either the plug or connector end.

[]

Product must be operated with the electrical plug supplied with the

product. Do not replace the electrical

plug supplied with the product.

[]

If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle must be changed out by

a qualified electrician.

[] Unplug or disconnect the Zoneline

at the fuse box or circuit breaker before making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified

individual. [] All air conditioners contain refrigerants,

which under federal law must be

removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product

with refrigerants, check with the

company handling disposal about

what to do.

[]These R410A Air Conditioner Systems

require contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment and safety standards

approved for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22

refrigerant only.

Insertthe building hook-up wires into the bottom of the terminals and tighten screws securely

to make the desired connections. Routethe wiresfrom the terminal connections

through the unit wire guides and out through the case wire guide.

NOTE:Theowner isresponsible for setting the appropriate dip switches and connecting

terminals.

A CAUTION:

Improper CDCwiring may damage the Zoneline electronics or cause erratic Zoneline operation.

Nocommon busing is permitted. A separate wire pair must be run from each separate controlling

switch to each individual Zoneline.

Central Desk Control

When connected, the unit lock-out is released and it can be turned ONor OFFwith a switch

located at the Central DeskControl.A separate wire pair must be run from each separate

controlling switch to each individual Zoneline. A 24VACcircuit powers the CDCsystem. Noexternal power isrequired.

Remote Thermostat

Theunit will be controlled by o remote

thermostat.

IMPORTANT:

TheZoneline thermostat connections provide 24V AConly.

If using a digital/electronic wall thermostat,

you must set it to the 24VACsetting.Seethe

Installation Instructions for the wall thermostat.

NOTICE:

Damage to a wall thermostat or to the Zonelineelectronics can result from improper

connections. Exerciseextra attention when connecting blue and black wires. No line voltage connections should be made to any circuit

in the thermostat. Isolateall wires in building from line voltage.

Ventilation Control

Theventilation control leveris located on the left sideof the Zoneline unit, behind the front case panel.

Toaccessthe ventilation control lever,remove the front panel byremoving the filter, taking out the four front screws,the upper two screws from

screws,if present). When the lever isin the CLOSEposition,only the air

insidethe room iscirculated and filtered. When the lever isin the OPENposition, some

outdoor air will be drawn into the room. This will reduce the heating or cooling efficiency.

About Heat Pumps (onsome models)

Heat pumps can reduce operating costs by exchanging heat from the outside air-even

when the outside temperature is below freezing- and releasingthat heat indoors.

Toget the best economic benefit from your heat pump, don't change the room thermostat setting

very often. Raisingthe heat setting 2-3 degrees will cause the Zoneline to useits electric heating

There is a three minute minimum compressor run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.

The indoor fan motor starts before the compressor

and stops after the compressor cycles off.

Theelectric heating elements use much

more electricity than heat pumps and cost more to operate.

elements in order to reachthe new temperature setting quickly.

Do Not Operate the Air Conditioner (cool mode) in Freezing Outdoor Conditions

Airconditioners are not designed for use when freezing outdoor conditions exist. They must not be

used in freezing outdoor conditions.

Care and cleaning. GEAppliances.com

Turn off the Zoneline and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.

Indoor/Outdoor Coils

Theexhaust coils on the Zonelineshould be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt

or soot, they may be professionallysteam cleaned byyour GEservicecenter. Youwill need to remove

the unit from the case to inspectthe coils because the dirt build-up occurs on the exhaust side.

-- Outdoor coils

Have the coils cleaned regularly.

Drain

Cleanthe drain system regularly to prevent clogging.

Base Pan

In some installations, dirt or other debris may be blown into the unit from the outside and settle

in the basepan (the bottom of the unit).

Air Filters

To maintain optimum performance, change the filter at least every 50 days.

Themost important thing you can do to maintain the Zoneline isto change the filter at least every

30 days. Dirtyfilters reduce cooling, heating and air flow.

Changing the filter will'.Decreasecost of operation, saveenergy, prevent clogged heat

exchanger coils and reducethe risk of premature component failure.

Insome areas of the United States,a "gel-like"

substance may be present in the basepan. Checkit periodically and clean, if necessary.

Toremove and replace

the filter:

NOTICE: Do notoperate

the Zoneline without the filter in place. Ira filter becomes torn or damaged, it should be replaced

immediately.

Operating without the filter in place or with a damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,

airflow and efficiency of the unit.
