Temperature Limiting (Requires room air sensor kit–RAVRMS)  
Temperature limiting can reduce energy costs  
by limiting the lowest temperature that can be  
set for cooling and the highest temperature that  
can be set for heating. Temperature limiting is  
controlled by switches 1–6 on the top block  
of auxiliary controls. The first three switches are  
used to select the cooling limits. The next three  
switches are used to control the heating limits.

When the lever is in 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  
CLOSE position. The room air will be filtered  
and circulated.  
To close the vent, push the vent lever handle  
down, pull it forward and lock it up in place.  
To open the vent, push the vent lever handle down,  
push it back and lock it up in place.  
About Heat Pumps (on some models)  
Heat pumps can reduce operating costs by  
exchanging heat from the outside air—even  
when the outside temperature is below  
freezing— and releasing that heat indoors.  
There is a three 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.  
To get the best economic benefit from your heat  
pump, don’t change the room thermostat setting  
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.  
The electric heating elements use much  
more electricity than heat pumps and cost  
more to operate.

Care and cleaning.  
GEAppliances.com  
Turn the Zoneline off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.  
Indoor/Outdoor Coils  
The exhaust coils on the Zoneline should be  
checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or  
soot, they may be professionally steam cleaned by  
your GE service center. You will need to remove  
the unit from the case to inspect the coils  
because the dirt build-up occurs on the  
exhaust side.  
Outdoor coils  
Have the coils cleaned regularly.  
Drain  
Clean the drain system regularly to  
prevent clogging.

the base pan (the bottom of the unit).  
Check it periodically and clean, if necessary.  
Air Filters  
To maintain optimum performance, change the filter at least every 30 days.  
The most important thing you can do to  
maintain the Zoneline is to change the filter at  
least every 30 days. Dirty filters reduce cooling,  
heating and air flow.  
To remove  
and replace  
the filter:  
Remove filter  
Changing the filter will: Decrease cost of operation,  
save energy, prevent clogged heat exchanger  
coils and reduce the risk of premature  
component failure.  
CAUTION:  
Do not operate the  
Unit-mounted filter  
Zoneline without the filter in place. If a filter  
becomes torn or damaged, it should be replaced  
immediately.  
Operating without the filter in place or with a  
damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach  
the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,  
airflow and efficiency of the unit.  
Filter  
Replacement filters should be purchased from  
your local retailer where air conditioner and  
furnace accessories are sold.

DUCTWORK  
Prepare the closet ductwork for later connection to  
the case.  
INSTALL THE DRAIN  
An external or an internal drain must be attached to  
the drain connector.  
The total flow rate (CFM) and external static pressure  
(ESP) available can be estimated from the chart below.  
Use these charts to select your fan speed setting. The  
collar on top of the case accepts standard 10duct.  
Pull all duct tight. Extra duct slack can greatly increase  
static pressure.  
CAUTION: Flex duct can collapse and cause airflow  
restrictions. Do not use flex duct for 90° bends or  
unsupported runs of 5 ft. or more.  
External Drain  
Attach a 90° PVC elbow to the unit’s female 3/4NPT  
drain connector. Use the other end of the elbow to  
run a 3/4Sch.40 PVC pipe through the knockout  
holes of both the wall plenum and the architectural  
louver to the outside. Seal the gap between the  
plenum hole and PVC tube. See the Installation  
Instructions in the RAVAL1.

Your airflow should be balanced based on many  
factors, such as available ESP, room CFM, and  
ductwork. Consult an HVAC engineer for proper  
applications. External static pressure (ESP) can be  
measured with a manometer or pitot tube. Once this  
ESP is established, you can calculate the CFM using  
the above chart.

Troubleshooting Tips  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Zoneline does  
not start  
The unit is  
unplugged.  
Make sure the Zoneline plug is pushed completely  
into the outlet.  
The fuse is blown/circuit  
breaker is tripped.  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace  
the fuse or reset the breaker.  
The unit is waiting for  
the compressor overload  
protector to reset.  
This is normal. The Zoneline will start again after  
it resets.  
Power failure.  
There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to  
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this  
reason, the unit may not start normal heating or cooling  
for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.  
Zoneline does not cool  
or heat as it should  
Indoor airflow  
is restricted.  
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture  
blocking the air discharge grille or the return air grille.  
Outdoor airflow is  
restricted or recirculated.  
Make sure the architectural louver is not restricted.  
This can cause the unit to cycle off due to the  
compressor overload.  
Outdoor grille must have a minimum of 65% free area.  
Non-GE grilles may be too restrictive for proper  
performance. Consult your salesperson for assistance.  
The air filter is dirty.  
Change the filter at least every 30 days.  
See the Care and Cleaning–Air Filter section.  
The room may have  
been hot or cold.  
When the Zoneline is first turned on you need to  
allow time for the room to cool down or warm up.  
Outdoor air is  
entering the room.  
Set the vent control to the CLOSE position.  
Burning odor at the start Dust is on the surface  
This can cause a “burning” odor at the beginning of  
the heating operation. This odor should quickly fade.  
of heating operation  
of the heating element.  
The air is not always  
cool or hot during  
operation  
The heat pump is not  
producing hot air.  
This is normal. The heat pump will produce warm air  
but not as hot as air produced when the higher-cost  
electric heat is used.  
The fan switch may be  
set at continuous fan  
This causes the fan to blow room temperature air  
even when the compressor or heater cycles off.  
The continuous air movement provides better  
overall temperature control.  
The air does not feel  
warm enough during  
heating operation  
The heat pump alone  
produces air that feels  
cooler than desired.  
Use the Electric Heat Option. This turns off the  
heat pump and warms with electric heat only.  
NOTE: Use of this option will result in increased energy  
consumption.

Things that are normal.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being  
picked up and thrown against the condenser on  
rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design  
feature helps remove moisture and improve  
efficiency.  
You may hear relays click when the controls cycle on  
and off or are adjusted to change the room  
temperature.  
“CLICK”  
Water will collect in the base pan during high  
humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow  
and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.  
The indoor fan runs continuously when the unit is  
operating in the cooling mode, unless the fan switch  
behind the case front panel is set at fan cycle (up).  
This will cause the fan to cycle on and off with the  
compressor. You may also hear a fan noise stop  
and start.  
You may notice a few minutes delay in starting if you  
try to restart the Zoneline too soon after turning it  
off or if you adjust the thermostat right after the  
compressor has shut off. This is due to a built-in  
restart protector for the compressor that causes a  
3-minute delay.  
During the defrost cycle, both indoor and outdoor  
fans stop and the compressor will operate in the  
cooling mode to remove frost from the outdoor coil.  
After defrost, the unit will restart in electric heat to  
quickly warm the room to the desired comfort level.  
SILENCE  
To protect the compressor and prevent short  
cycling, the unit is designed to run for a minimum  
of 3 minutes after the compressor starts at any  
thermostat setting.
