Operating Instructions

The temp control is used to maintain the
room temperature. The compressor will cycle
on and off to keep the room at the same level
of comfort. When you turn the knob to

COOLER

(blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn
the knob to

WARMER

(red) and the indoor air

will become warmer.

3200 Series only

When the outdoor temperature is lower than
25

°F., heat is provided by the electric heater in

the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.

HIGH COOL

and

LOW COOL

provide cooling with

different fan speeds.

HIGH HEAT

and

LOW HEAT

provide heating with

different fan speeds.

LOW FAN orHIGH FAN

provides air circulation

and filtering without cooling or heating.

NOTE:
If you move the switch from a cool or heat

setting to STOP or to a fan setting, the unit has
an automatic 3-minute delay before allowing the
compressor to restart in the cool or heat mode.

Energy Tip

Keep the vent control at

CLOSE

. The room air will be

filtered and circulated.

The ventilation control lever is located at the
lower left side of the Zoneline unit, behind the
room cabinet.

When set at

CLOSE

, only the air inside the room

is circulated and filtered.

When set at

OPEN

, some outdoor air will be
drawn into the room. This will reduce the
heating or cooling efficiency.

Heat pumps can save money by
removing heat from the outside
air—even when the outside
temperature is below freezing—
and releasing that heat indoors.

To get the best performance from
your heat pump, don’t change the
room thermostat 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.

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.

The electric heating elements use
much more electricity than heat
pumps and cost more to operate.

Switch #6 controls the Freeze
Sentinel. When the switch is

DOWN

,
the Freeze Sentinel automatically
turns on the resistance heater and
fan if the room temperature (sensed
at the unit) drops to approximately
40

° F. It will turn the heater off when

the temperature reaches about 45° F.

The unit leaves the factory with
the Freeze Sentinel in the

DOWN

(on) position.

The Freeze Sentinel helps prevent
plumbing damage in the room due
to sub-freezing temperatures.

If the Freeze Sentinel is set, it is
active as long as power to the
unit is on.

NOTE: The owner is responsible for
checking the Freeze Sentinel switch
and ensuring it is in the desired
setting.

The fan switch #2 is located behind
the room cabinet.

This switch is set at continuous fan
(

DOWN

) at the factory to provide
continuous fan operation in cool
or heat modes. Leaving the switch
in the continuous fan setting allows
continuous circulation of room air
and will result in a more balanced
temperature throughout the room.

If you want the fan to cycle on
and off with the compressor or
with the heater, move the switch
to cycle fan (

UP

).

Care & Cleaning

Turn the Zoneline off and discon­nect 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 profes­sionally 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.
