For Four safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of tim
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This Zoneline must be properly installed
in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. See the
Installation Instructions in the back
of this manual.
Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. A damaged power
supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from
the manufacturer and not repaired.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.
Unplug or disconnect the Zoneline
at the fuse box or circuit breaker
before making ang repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that ang
servicing be performed bg a qualified
individual.
•These R410A air conditioning sgstems
require contractors and technicians to
use tools, equipment and safetg
standards approved for use with this
refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment

About Your Heat Pump (6100 Series only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat
from the outside air-even when the outside
temperature isbelow freezing-and releasing
that heat indoors.
To get the best performance from your heat pump,
don't change the room thermostat very often.
Raisingthe heat setting 2-5 degreeswill cause
the Zonelineto useits electric heating elements in
order to reach the new temperature setting quickly.
Thereisa5-minuteminimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.
The indoor fan motor starts before the compressor
and stops after the compressor cycles off.
When the outdoor temperature islower than 25°F,
heat isprovided by the electric heater in the air
conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
Theelectric heating elements usemuch
more electricity than heat pumps and cost
more to operate. 3

Ventilation Control
NOTE:Two shippingscrews must be removed

Instructions in the back ofthis manual. If you do not
plan to usetheventilation feature,leavethesetwo

Theventilation control lever islocated at
the middle left sideof the Zoneline unit,
behind the room cabinet.
When set at the closed position,only the air
insidethe room iscirculated and filtered.
When set at the open position, some outdoor
air will be drawn into the room. Thiswill reduce
the heating or cooling efficiency.
Energy Tip: Keepthe vent control inthe closed

Careand cleaning.
Room Cabinet and Case
Turn the Zonelineoff and disconnect the
power supply. Toclean, usewater and a mild detergent.
Donot usebleach or abrasives.Somecommercial
cleaners may damage the plasticparts.
Outdoor Coils
The coilson the outdoor sideof the Zonelineshould
be checked regularly. Ifthey are clogged with dirt
or soot, they may be professionally steam cleaned.
Youwill need to remove the unit from the wall
sleeveto inspectthe coils.The dirt buildup occurs
on the fan sideof the outdoor coil.
Coils

Cleanthe outsidecoilsregularly.
Base Pan
In some installations,dirt or other debrismay be
blown into the unit from the outside and settle in
the basepan (thebottom of the unit),
Insome areas ofthe United States,a naturally
occurring "gel-like"or "slime-like"substance may
be seeninthe basepan.
Checkit periodically and clean, if necessary,
Ventilation Filter

Tomaintain optimum performance,cleanthefilters at leastevery30 days.
Air Filters

reducescooling,heating
andairflo_z
Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
The most important thing Uoucan do to maintain
the Zonelineisto cleanthe filter at least everu
50 daus. Cloggedfilters reduce cooling, heating
and air flow.
Keepingthesefilters clean will:
• Decreasecost of operation.
• Saveenergu.
• Preventclogged heat exchanger coils.
• Reducethe riskof premature component failure.
Tocleanthe air filters:
• Vacuum off the heavu soil.
• Runwater through the filtersfrom the
back side.
• Drgthoroughlg before replacing.
NOTE:The air filters are interchangeable
and will fit in either the right or left side.
To remove the air filters:

CAUTION:oonotoperate the
Zonelinewithout thefilters in place. If a filter
becomes tornor damaged, it should be replaced
immediatelg.
Operating without the filters in placeor with
damaged filters will allow dirt and dust to reach
the indoor coil and reducethe cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.

HOW TO CONNECT
1. Remove the room cabinet.
2. Connect to electrical power.
3. Reviewthe following steps for applicable supplg
voltages.
4. Reinstall the room cabinet.
Power cords mag include an arc fault interruption
or a leakage current detection interruption device.
A test and reset button is provided on the plug case
or the inline case. The device should be tested on
a periodic basis bg first pressing the TESTbutton
and then the RESETbutton. If the TESTbutton does
not trip or if the RESETbutton will not stag engaged,
discontinue use of the Zoneline and contact a
qualified service technician.
POWER CORD

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 agreater possibilitg that water will drip from the wall case than with astandard unit. To prevent this
water from dripping onto external building walls, we recommend the use of RAD10 Drain Kit.
