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

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

Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
The most iml)ortant thing you can do to
maintain the Zoneline is to clean the filter
at least every 30 days. Clogged filters reduce
cooling, heating and air flow.
Keeping these filters clean will:
• Decrease cost of operation.
• Save energy:
• Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
• Reduce the risk of premature component
fifilm'e.
To clean the air filters:
• Vacuum off' the heavv soil.
•Rtm water through the filters fl'om the

Installation Instructions
REPLACING AN EXISTING UNIT?
Check the "Essential

importantinformation.
Use the correct wall case
This unit is designed to be installed in a (;E plastic or
insulated metal wall case. This mininfizes condensation
fl'om fimning on the room side of the case.
If the current wall case is not insulated, you can reduce
the possibili Vof condensation fimning by installing
insulation kit bL_Kg01 i,, a\_filable where you purchased
the unit.
NOTE: There are several extra holes in the refit side
flanges fin" installation in wall cases other than GE.
To avoid damaging the flange insulation, the installer
should use an awl or other shaq) tool to puncture tile
insulation in tile appropriate holes befln'e installing
tile attachment scre_vs.
Use the correct outdoor grille
You should use tile outdoor grilles shown on tile
"Essential Elements" label on tile top of tile unit.
•If an eMsting grille is not replaced, capaci D' and

• Any vertical deflecto_ in the existing _ear grille should
be removed to decrease condenser air reci_vulation
that can cause the unit to "short-cycle" and lead
to pi'elllattli'e coi/lponent fifilure.
Use the correct power cord
I,ocal codes may require tile use of arc thult or

installations.
Replacing a ducted unit

If this refit is to be installed in a new ducted application
using a duct adapter kit, tile kit must be installed before

OPTIONAL--DRAIN KIT INSTALLATION
Dry Air 25 Series models are designed to improve dehumidification by 25%. Since more moisture will be removed from
the air, there is a greater possibility that water will drip from the wall case than with a standard unit. To prevent this water
from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RAD10 Drain Kit.
External Drain
See the Installation Instructions
in the RADIO kit.
