Installation Instructions

REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?

Check the “Essential Elements” label for important information.

Use the correct wall case

This unit is designed to be installed in a GE plastic or insulated metal wallcase.This minimizescondensation fromforming on the room side of the case.

If the current wall case is not insulated, you can reduce the possibility of condensationforming by installing insulation kit RAK901L,availablewhere you purchased the unit.

NOTE: There are severalextra holes in the unit side flanges for instalationin wallcasesother than GE. To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the installershoulduse an awl or other sharp tool to puncture the insulationin the appropriateholesbefore 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 existinggrille is not replaced, capacityand efficiencywill be reducedand 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 exhaustair awayfrom the air intake to allow the unit to function properly. The grillemust havea 65% minimum free area.

•Any vertical deflectors in the existing rear grille should be removed to decreasecondenser air recirculation that can causethe unit to “short-cycle” and lead to premature componentfailure.

Use the correct power cord

Local codes may require the use of arc fault or leakage current detection devices on 230/208-volt installations.
