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
from thevent door beforeuse..Seethe Installation
Instructions in the back ofthis manual. If you do not
plan to usetheventilation feature,leavethesetwo
screwsin place.
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
position.Theroom air will be filtered and circulated.

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
Grille
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
If the vent door is open,accessrequiresthe removal
of the unit from thewall sleeve.Cleanthe vent filter
twice a gear or asrequired.

To clean the vent filter:
IMPORTANT:
Thisfilter isnot removable.Trying to removethis
filter will damage the unit.
• Usea vacuum to remove debrisfrom the filter.
• Usea damp rag to wipe down the filter and
surrounding area after vacuuming.

Careand cleaning.
Tomaintain optimum performance,cleanthefilters at leastevery30 days.
Air Filters
Dirty filter--Needs cleaning Clogged filter--Greatly
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.
