Replacing an Existing Unit?

Check the “Essential Elements” label for important information.

•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.
