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.

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.

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, 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.

• 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 component failure.
