AboutYour HeatPwp...
Heatpumps can save moneyby removing heat from
theoutsideair—even when the outsidetemperatureis
belowfreezing—
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

Freeze Sentinel
i
i!
The Freeze Sentinel sensor helps prevent plumbing
damage due to sub-freezing temperatures—even if
you have turned the operation switch to STOP. The
sensor automatically turns on the heater and fan if the
room temperature falls to about 45”F. It shuts off the
heater when the temperature reaches about 50”F.
You do not have to do anything to activate the Freeze_[
Sentinel. It will work as long as power to the unit has(,,. ‘->~
not been interrupted.
