About YourHeat Pump(3500Seriesonly)
Heat pmnps 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 pex_ommnce flxm_ ):our heat

cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating
elements in order to reach the new temperatm'e

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

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 axe specified
on the nameplate of each refit.
•Do not use an extension cord with this unit.
Aluminum building wiring may present special
problems--consult aqualified electrician.
When the unit is in the STOP position there is still

REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?

importantinformation.
Use the correct wall case
This unit is designed to be installed in a GE plastic or
insulated metal wall case. This minimizes condensation
fl'om fimning on the room side ot the case.
If the cmTent wall case is not insulated, you can reduce
the possibility of condensation tomfing by inst;flling
insulation kit ]_Kg01 I,, available where you pro'chased
the mfit.
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, capacit)' and
efficiency will be reduced and the refit may tifil to
operam propedy or fifil prematm'ely: A deflector kit,
]_&K40, nlay be used with grilles that were not
designed t0r )'ore" new GE Zonelines. The RAK40
contains air deflectms and gaskets that mount to the
refit to direct the hot exhaust air away fl'om the air
intake to allow the refit to flmction properly. The
grille must have a 65% minimmn fl'ee area.
• Any vertical deflecto_ in the existing rear grille should
be rellloved to decrease condenser air recirctllation
which can cause the refit to "short-cycle" and lead
to pi'ei/lattli'e COli/ponent filihu'e.
Replacing a ducted unit

If this refit is to be installed in a new ducted application
using a duct adapter kit, the kit must be installed befi)re

screw holes at the top and bottom and d6ving the
two screws until secure. Be sure that all wire leads
are inside the box and not pinched between the box
and the unit.
The identified (ribbed) Neutral wire of the cordset
MUST be connected to the white Neutral wire of
the branch circuit. The green insulated gromM wire
ti'om the unit MUST be connected to the branch

OPTIONAL- DRAIN KIT INSTALLATION
Dry Air 2500 Series models axe 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 than with a stm_dard unit. To prevent this water
from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RADIO Drain Kit.
External Drain
