About the controls on your Zoneline. GEAppliances.com
TEMPCONTROL FAN,MODE& SLEEPOPERATION
Controls
Temp Control
The temp control is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on
and off to keep the room at the same level
of comfort.
Pressthe A pad to raise the temperature.
Pressthe V pad to lower the temperature.
NOTE'The display shows the set temperature,
not the room temperature.
Sleep
Pressto set the air conditioner to run for 8 hours
before it automatically returns to the previous
setting.
When in the cooling mode and the sleep timer
is set, the set temperature will automatically
increase 2°F after the second hour then 1°F
each hour over the next two hours. Also, the
fan speed will change to low When in the
heating mode, the set temperature will
decrease in the same manner.
Tocancel the sleep mode, press the MODEpad
or the SLEEPpad a second time.
_Fan, Mode and Operation Control
FAN--Sets the fan operation for NIGH,
LOWor AUTO speed. When set at AUTO,
it automatically switches between LOW
and HIGHas room temperature changes.
MODE--COOL--For cooling
FAN--For fan-only operation
HEAT-For heating
OPERATION--ON/STOP--Turns the unit
on or off. Power remains connected to
the Zoneline. The Freeze/Heat Sentinel
features still function if active.See the
Freezer/Heat Sent#_dsection on page 6.

Quick Heat Recovery
Activates each time the thermostat is switched from
STOPor COOLmode to HEATmode. Electric heaters
are energized until the thermostat set point
is reached. On heat pump models, the heat pump
operation will resume at the next call for heat.
About Your Heat Pump (6100 Series only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat
from the outside air--even when the outside
temperature is below freezing--and releasing
that heat indoors.
To get the best performance from your heat pump,
don't change the room thermostat very often.
Raising the heat setting 2-3 degrees will cause
the Zoneline to use its electric heating elements in
order to reach the new temperature setting quickly.
There isa 3-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.
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 25°F,
heat is provided by the electric heater in the air
conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
The electric heating elements use much
more electricity than heat pumps and cost
more to operate, 3

Other features of your Zoneline.
Ventilation Control
NOTE: Two shipping screws must be removed
from the vent door before use, See the installation
instructions in the back of this manual, If_vou do not
plan to use the ventilation feature, leave these two
screws in place,
The ventilation control lever is located at
the middle left side of the Zoneline unit,
behind the room cabinet,
When set at the closed position, only the air
inside the room is circulated and filtered,
When set at the open position, some outdoor
air will be drawn into the room, This will reduce
the heating or cooling efficiency,
Energy Tip: Keep the vent control in the closed
position, The room air will be filtered and circulated,

Installation Instructions
REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?
Checkthe "Essential
Elements"label for
importantinformation.
Use the correct wall case
This unit is designed to be installed in a GEplastic 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 base pan,
*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 GEZonelines, 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,
Replacing a ducted unit
New ducted installation:
If this unit isto be installed in a new ducted application
using a duct adapter kit, the kit must be installed before

OPTIONAL--DRAIN KITINSTALLATION
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 than with a standard unit. To prevent this
water from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RADIO Drain Kit.
