To remove
and replace
the filter:
Care and Cleaning
Turn off the Zoneline and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
Drain
Clean the drain system regularly to prevent
clogging.
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).
Air Filters
To maintain optimum performance, change the fi lter at least every 30 days.
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.
In some areas of the United States, a “gel-like”
substance may be present in the base pan.
Check it periodically and clean, if necessary.
The most important thing you can do to maintain
the Zoneline is to change the fi lter at least every
30 days. Dirty fi lters reduce cooling, heating, and
airfl ow.
Changing the fi lter will: Decrease the cost of
operation, save energy, prevent clogging the heat
exchanger coils, and reduce the risk of premature
component failure.
NOTICE: Do not operate the Zoneline without the
fi lter in place. If a fi lter becomes torn or damaged, it
should be replaced immediately.
Operating without the fi lter in place, or with a
damaged fi lter, will allow dirt and dust to reach the
indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating, airfl ow
and effi ciency of the unit.
Replacement fi lters should be purchased from your
local retailer where air conditioner and furnace
accessories are sold.
Filter size required is 20” x 20” x 1”.
