To replace:

Place the tabs over the top rail. Push inward at the bottom until it snaps into place.

To Remove the Room Cabinet

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.

About Your Heat Pump

Switch E 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.

Freeze Sentinel

™

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 (

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 “gel-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.
