About Your Heat Pump (AZ65 only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat from the outside
DLU³HYHQZKHQWKHRXWVLGHWHPSHUDWXUHLVEHORZIUHH]LQJ³DQG
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 is a 3-minute minimum compressor run time at any setting
to prevent short cycling.
The fans start before the compressor and stop after the
compressor cycles off.
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 25°F, heat is
provided by the electric heater instead of by the heat pump.
The electric heating elements use much more electricity than
heat pumps and cost more to operate.
About the controls on your Zoneline.

Care and cleaning.
Base Pan
In some installations, dirt or other debris may be blown into the
unit from the outside and settle in the base pan (the bottom of
the unit).
In some areas of the United States, a naturally occurring
“gel-like” or “slime-like” substance may be seen in the base pan.
Check it periodically and clean, if necessary.
On 4500 Series models, do not remove the rubber drain plug
from the basepan. If removed, excess water may drain to the
outside.
Ventilation Filter
If the vent door is open, clean the vent filter twice a year or as
required. Access requires the removal of the unit from the wall
sleeve.
Turn the Zoneline off and unplug before removing and cleaning.
To clean the vent filter:
IMPORTANT:
This filter is not removable. Trying to remove this filter will
damage the unit.
■Use a vacuum to remove debris from the filter.
■Use a damp rag to wipe down the filter and surrounding area
after vacuuming.
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the Zoneline should be checked
regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they should be
cleaned by either low or no pressure cleaning methods. Ensure
that electical area/devices are protected during cleaning. You will
need to remove the unit from the wall sleeve to inspect the coils.
The dirt buildup occurs on the fan side of the outdoor coil.
Clean the outside coils regularly.
Room Cabinet and Case
Turn the Zoneline off and disconnect the power supply. To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial cleaners may
damage the plastic parts.

reduces cooling, heating
and airflow.
Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
The most important thing you can do to maintain the Zoneline
is to clean the filter at least every 30 days. Clogged filters reduce
cooling, heating and air flow.
Keeping these filters clean will:
■Decrease cost of operation.
■Save energy.
■Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
■Reduce the risk of premature component failure.
To clean the air filters:
■Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■Run water through the filters from the
back side.
■Dry thoroughly before replacing.
NOTE: The air filters are interchangeable and will fit in either the
right or left side.
To remove the air filters:
To replace the air filters:
NOTICE:
Do not operate the Zoneline without the filters in place. If a filter
becomes torn or damaged, it should be replaced immediately.
Operating without the filters in place or with damaged filters
will allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and reduce the
cooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of the unit.
Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, GE
dealer, GE Service and Parts Center or authorized Customer
Care®servicers.

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.
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 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 (as calculated by ASHRAE).
See the Architects and Engineers Data Manual for more
detailed information.
•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 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.
Duct kits available:
RAK6053
RAK601/602
Existing ducted installation:
Replacement of an existing ducted unit may require
different components. Request this information from your
sales representative. Duct seals on existing unit need to
be removed and added to the new unit.
•Replacing 230/208 volt units:
See page 14.
•Replacing 265 volt units:
See page 15.
When using a duct kit, you must always turn Mode 7 to
ON “ ,” See Mode instructions on page 7.

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 Zoneline and contact a
qualified service technician.
Depending on application, a power supply kit with LCDI
must be used to supply power to theZoneline unit.The
appropriatekit isdetermined by the voltage, the means of
electrical connection and the amperage of the branch
circuit.
Connections of 208 or 230-volt circuits may be with a
power supply kit or a junction box kit.
All wiring, including installation of the receptacle,
must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes,
ordinances and regulations. Codes require the use of
an arc fault or leakage current detection device on the
