About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)

Heat l)mnps can save money by removing heat
fl'om the outside ai_e\'en when the outside

temperature is below fl'eezing--and releasing
that heat indom_,

To get the best pex_bmmnce fl'om your heat
I)mnp, don't change the room them/ostat ve_T

often. Raising the heat setting 2-3 degrees will
cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating

elements in order to reach the new temperatm'e
setting quickly.

circulation and filtering without cooling

NOTE:If youmove the switch from a cool orheat
setting to STOPorto a fan setting, the unit hasan
automatic3-minute delaybefore a//owlbg the

There is a three minute minimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.

The indoor tim motor stm*s beli)re the
compressor and stops after the compressor

cycles off.

The electric headng elements use much
more electricit_ than heat pmnps and cost

Quick Heat Recovery

models, the heat pump operation will resume
