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 injur
y
or death.
Disconnect all power to unit to avoid possible electrical shoc
k
during installation.

WARNING
GE Plastic Sleeve -- Remove bottom seal from
plastic sleeve. See Fig. 6.
INSTALLATION OF A GREE WALL
SLEEVE USING A NON--GREE GRILLE
Fig. 6 – Remove Bottom Seal From GE Plastic Sleeve
Fig. 7 – Accessory Baffle Kit
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 grille.
Use of a Gree wall sleeve with a non-Gree grille
requires installation 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 prema
ture damage to major components.
CONDENSATE REMOVAL SYSTEM
Gree’s series has a new condensate (water) disposal
system. The outdoor fan prop has a built in slinger
ring which draws condensate water and sprays it on the
warm outdoor coil 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 below 55˚ F
(12.8˚ C) to prevent water from freezing in the base
pan. The water drains from the unit tho
ugh 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-1PK) and a building condensate drain
system is recommended.
