RETROFIT SLEEVE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: Inspect wall sleeve thoroughly
prior to installation. Manufacturer does not
assume responsibility for costs or damages due to
defects in sleeve or for improper installation.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal il\jury
or death.
Disconnect all power to unit to avoid possible electrical shock
during installation.
GE Sleeves Only_
GE Metal Wall Sleeve - Remove meta! clip on
mounting rail located on left, inside bottom, of meta!
sleeve and discard. See Fig. 5
GE Plastic Sleeve - Remove bottom sea! from
plastic sleeve. See Fig. 6.
INSTALLATION OF A GREE WALL
SLEEVE USING A NON-GREE GRILLE
This application has become more common due to
pre-manufactured windows with built-in grilles or
renovations where a Gree sleeve is used with an
existing non-Gree gri!le.
Use of a Gree wall sleeve with a non-Gree grille
requires insta!lation of an Accessory Baffle Kit (see
Fig. 7), which ensures a good seal between the unit
and exterior grille to prevent air recirculation. Air
recirculation is a large contributor to performance
loss and premature damage to major components.
CONDENSATE REMOVAL SYSTEM
Gree's GA series has a new condensate (water)
disposal system. The outdoor fan prop has a built in
slinger ring which draws condensate water through a
suction port built into the outdoor coil shroud. The
water passes though the suction port and is sprayed
on the warm outdoor coi! for evaporation. Thus
providing better disposal of excess condensate and
improving unit operating efficiency.
It is normal and desirable to have some condensate
water in the base pan to boost operating efficiency.
All heat pump units contain a condensate drain
valve. This temperature activated drain valve opens
when the outdoor temperature drops be!ow 55 ° F
(12.8 ° C) to prevent water from freezing in the base
pan. The water drains from the unit though the wall
sleeve and out the wall sleeve's rear condensate
drainage holes. If the condensate drain kit accessory
is attached to the wall sleeve, water will drain
through the condensate drain tube.
NOTE: This unit will not always evaporate 100%
of the unit generated condensate and blown in
rain water. If it is necessary to control 100% of
the condensate, the Drain Kit (Part No.: DRAIN-
KIT-4PK) and a building condensate drain
system is recommended.
