About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)
Heat pmnps can save money by removing heat
fl'om the outside air----even when the outside
temperature is below freezing--and releasing
that heat indom_.
To get the best pet_kmnance flxm_ ):ore" heat
l)ump, don't change the room them_ostat ve_y
otten. 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.
There is a three mimlte minimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent shin* cycling.
The indoor tim motor starts befl)re the
COllll)I'essoI" and stops aJ[teI" the coI/ll)I'essoI"
cycles off.
The electric heating elements use much
more electricit_ than heat pmnps and cost

Room Cabinet and Case
Turn tile Zoneline off and disconnect tile
power supply:
To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial
cleane_ may damage tile plastic parts.
OutdoorCoils
Tile coils on tile outdoor side of tile Zoneline
should be checked regularly: If tile)' are clogged
with dirt or soot, they may be protessionally
steam cleaned, a service a\_filable through your
GE se_Mce outlet. You will need to remove the
unit to inspect the coils because the dirt
buildup occm_ on tile inside.

In some instnllations, dirt or other debris may be
blown into tile unit fl'oln tile outside and settle ill
tile base pan (tile bottom of tile trait).
In some areas ot tile United Stntes, a "gelqike" or
"slime-like" substnnce may be seen in tile base pan.
Check it periodically and clean, if necessmT:
Ventilation Filter
If the vent door is open, dean the vent filter twice a year
or as requirec_
Turn the Zone/ibe off before cleaning.
To remove the vent filter:
• Remove tile room cabinet. See tile ToRemove
the Room Cabinet section.
• ReIllove tile tOtlI" s(i'ews se('tli'ing tile Ilnit
flanges to the case.
• Slide tile trait from tile wall case.
