Installation Instructions
Use the correct wall case
This unit is designed to be installed in a GE plastic or
insulated metal wall case. This minimizes 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 unit.
NOTE: There are several extra holes in the unit side
flanges for installation in wall cases other than GE.
To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the installer
should use an awl or other sharp tool to puncture the
insulation in the appropriate holes before installing
the attachment screws.
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, 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
unit 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
that can cause the unit to “short-cycle” and lead
to premature component failure.
Use the correct power cord
Local codes may require the use of arc fault or
leakage current detection devices on 230/208 volt
installations.
Check the “Essential
Elements” label for
important information.
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 unit is placed in the wall case. The installation
instructions are packed with the kit.
Existing ducted installation:
Replacement of an existing ducted unit may require
different components. Request this information from
your sales representative.
