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 perlommnce fl'om ):our heat
pmnp, 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.
There is a three mimlte minimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.
The indoor tim motor starts beli)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
II/OI'e to operate.

Temperature Limiting
Temperature limiting can reduce energy' costs
by limiting the lowest temperature that can be
set fl)r cooling and the highest temI)erature that
can be set fin" heating, Temperature limiting is
controlled by the second six au_liarv switches,
The fit_t three switches are used to select tile
cooling limits, and the remaining three switches
are used to control the heating limits, This

Careand cleaning.
Room Cabinet and Case
Turn the Zoneline otI and disconnect the
power supply:
To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial
cleane_ may damage the plastic parts.

Base Pan
In some installations, dirt or other debris may be
blown into the unit fl'om the outside and settle in
the base pan (the bottom of the unit).
In some areas ot the United States, a "gelqike" or
"slime-like" stlbstance ill}iV be seen in the base l);In.
Check it periodically and clean, if necessary:
