Installation Instructions
Read carefully
If you have any questions, call the GE Answer Center at 800.626.2000.
•
Use the correct wall case.
This chassis is designed to be installed in a GE
plastic or insulated metal wall case. This mini-
mizes condensation from forming on the room
side of the case. If the current wall case is not
insulated, you can reduce the possibility of
condensation forming by installing insulation
kit RAK901L, available where you purchased
the chassis.
•
Use the correct outdoor grille.
You should use the outdoor grilles shown on
the “Essential Elements” label on the top of
the chassis.
• If an existing grille is not replaced, capacity and
efficiency will be reduced and the unit may fail
to operate properly or fail prematurely. A
deflector kit, RAK40, may be used with grilles
that were not designed for your new GE
Zonelines. The RAK40 contains air deflectors
and gaskets that mount to the chassis to direct
the hot exhaust air away from the air intake to
allow the unit to function properly. The grille
must have a 65% minimum free area.
• Any vertical deflectors in the existing rear grille
should be removed to decrease condenser air
recirculation which can cause the unit to
“short-cycle” and lead to premature compo-
nent failure.
•
Replacing a ducted chassis.
New ducted installation—If this unit is to be
installed in a new ducted application using a
duct adaptor kit, the kit must be installed before
the chassis is placed in the wall case. The installa-
tion instructions are packed with the kit.
Existing ducted installation—Replacement of an
existing ducted unit may require different com-
ponents. Request this information from your
sales representative.
