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 from your heat
pump, don’t change the room
thermostat very often. Raising the
heat setting 2–3 degrees may cause
the Zoneline heat pump to use its
electrical heating elements in
order to reach the new temperature setting quickly.
The electric heating elements use
much more electricity than heat
pumps and cost more to operate.
Generally, when the outdoor temperature is above 45
°F., only the
heat pump will warm the room.
Below 25°F., the resistance heater
will warm the room.
When the air is between 25°-45°F.,
the unit will automatically determine the best source of heat to use.

The Freeze Sentinel feature
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 Freeze Sentinel helps prevent
plumbing damage in the room due
to sub-freezing temperatures.
The Freeze Sentinel is active as long
as power to the unit is on.

The fan switch 9 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.
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).
Check it periodically and clean it
out, if necessary.
Base Pan
Clean the outside coils
regularly.
