WARNING!

Foryour safe_ the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

• This Zoneline must be properly
installed in accordance with tile

Installation Instructions before it is
used. See the Installation Instructions
ira tile hack of this manual.

• Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become flaved or
otherwise damaged. A damaged power
supply cord must he replaced with a
new power supply cord ohtained flom
the mamffacturer and not repaired.

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

or at either tile plug or connector end.

• Unplug or disconnect tile Zoneline at
tile fllse box or circuit hreaker before

making any repairs.

NOTE: ¼:e strongly recommend that any

servicing be performed hv a qualified
individual.

About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)

Heat l)mnps can save money by removing heat
fl'om the outside ai_e\'en when the outside

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

To get the best perlommnce fl'om ):our heat
pmnp, don't change the room them_ostat ve_T

often. 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
setting quickly.

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

The indoor tim motor starts beli)re the

COllll)I'essoI" and stops aJ[teI" the cOI/ll)I'essoI"

The electric heating elements use much
more electricit_ than heat pmnps and cost

Room Cabinet and Case

Turn the Zoneline otI and disconnect the

OutdoorCoils

The coils on the outdoor side of the Zoneline
should be checked regularly. If the)' are clogged

with dirt or soot, they may be protessionally

steanl cleaned, a service a\:filable through your
(;E selMce outlet. You will need to remove the

unit to inspect the coils because the dirt

To clean, use water and a mild detergent.

Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial
cleane_ may damage the plastic parts.

Coils

Cleat?the outside coils regularly.

Base Pan

In some installations, dirt or other debris may be
blown into the unit fl'om the outside and settle in

the base pan (the bottom of the unit).

Ventilation Filter

If the ventdoor isopen,clean the ventfilter twice a year

or as required

TurntheZonehbeoff beforecleaning
Toremove the vent filter:

• Remove the room cabinet. See the ToRemove

• Remove the tOt:u"screws securing the unit

flanges to the case.

• Slide the unit fl'om the wall case.

• Grasp the vent filter tab and pull the filter out

by sliding it to the right.

In some areas ot the United States, a "gelqike" or
"slime-like" stlbstance ill}iV be seen in the base l);In.

Check it periodically and clean, if necessary:

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 electdcim_.

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

fl'om limning on the room side of the case,

If the current wall case is not insulated, you can reduce
the possibiliQ' of condensation %rating by installing

insulation kit ]_L_Kg01 i,, a\;filable where you purchased

the unit.

NOTE: There are several extra holes in the trait side
flanges t0r inst;dlation in wall cases other than GE.

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

insulation in the appropriate holes before installing

the attachment scre_:s.

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 trait is placed in the wall case. The installation

insmmfions are packed with the kit.

plate

Existing ducted installation:

Replacement of an existing ducted trait may require
different components. Request this intimnation ti'om

vour sales representative.

• Replacing 230/208 volt milts:
See page 14.

• Replacing 265 volt units:
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 trait.

• If an existing grille is not replaced, capaciQ' and
efficiency will be reduced and the trait mav tail to

operate properly or fifil premamrel> A deflector kit,
I_L_K40, may be used with grilles that were not

designed t0r yore" new GE Zonelines. The ]L&K40
contains air deflect(ns and gaskets that motmt to the

trait to direct the hot exhaust air away fl'om the air
intake to allow the unit to flulction properly. The

grille m list have a 65% minimum fl'ee area.

• Any vertical deflectms in the existing rear grille should
be removed to decrease condenser air reci_vulation

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

to pi'eli/attli'e COlilpollellt fifihlre.

Use the correct power cord

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

leakage cmTent detection devices on 230/208 volt
installations.

HOW TO CONNECT

1 Remove the romn cabinet.

2 Connect to electrical power.

3 See the special instructions below fin" applicable

supply voltages.

4 Reinstall the room cabinet.

A power supply kit must be used to supply power to fl_e
Zoneline refit. The apl)ropfiate kit is detemfined by the

voltage, the means of electrical connection and the
amperage of the branch circuit.

Power supply kit

C(mnecfions of 208 or 230 volt circuits may be with a
power SUl)pl ) kit or a jtmction box kit.

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

ordinances and regulations. I,ocal codes may require
the use of an arc tault or leakage current detection
device on the power cord. Be stu'e 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 mad reset button is provided on the plug case or

the inline case. The device should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and

then the RESET button. If the TEST button does
not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,

discontinue use of the Zonelhae and contact a
qualified service technician.

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 standard mlit. To prevent this water
from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RAD10 Drain Kit.

External Drain

in the RADIO kit.
