Operating Instructions 

Care & Cleaning

Turn the Zoneline off and discon-
nect the power supply.

To clean, use water and a mild
detergent. Do not use bleach or
abrasives. Some commercial
cleaners may damage the plastic
parts.

Room Cabinet 
and Case

The coils on the outdoor side of
the Zoneline should be checked
regularly. If they are clogged with
dirt or soot they may be profes-
sionally steam cleaned, a service
available through your GE service
outlet. You will need to remove 
the chassis to inspect the coils
because the dirt build-up occurs 
on the inside.

Outdoor Coils

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).
In some areas of the United States
a “jell-like” substance may be seen
in the base pan.

Check it periodically and clean it
out, if necessary.

Base Pan

Clean the outside coils 
regularly.
