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 vet y often.

degrees will cause the Zoneline to

Care & Cleaning
Turn the Zoneline off and
disconnect the power supply.
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.
To clean, use water and a mild
detergent. Do not use bleach or
abrasives. Some commerdal
cleaners may damage the plastic
parts.
Clean the outside coils
regularly.
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
