About Your Heat Pump (6100 Series only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat
from the outside air—even when the outside
temperature is below freezing—and releasing
that heat indoors.
To get the best performance from your heat pump,
don’t change the room thermostat very often.
Raising the heat setting 2–3 degrees will cause
the Zoneline to use its electric heating elements in
order to reach the new temperature setting quickly.
There is a 3-minute minimum 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 is lower than 25°F,
heat is provided by the electric heater in the air
conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
The electric heating elements use much
more electricity than heat pumps and cost
more to operate.
About the controls on your Zoneline. GEAppliances.com
3286307
Temp Control
The temp control is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on
and off to keep the room at the same level
of comfort.
Press the ▲pad to raise the temperature.
Press the ▼pad to lower the temperature.
NOTE: The display shows the set temperature,
not the room temperature.
Sleep
Press to set the air conditioner to run for 8 hours
before it automatically returns to the previous
setting.
When in the cooling mode and the sleep timer
is set, the set temperature will automatically
increase 2°F after the second hour then 1°F
each hour over the next two hours. Also, the
fan speed will change to low. When in the
heating mode, the set temperature will
decrease in the same manner.
To cancel the sleep mode, press the ODE pad
or the SLEEP pad a second time.
Fan, ode and Operation Control
FAN—Sets the fan operation for HIGH,
LOW or AUTO speed. When set at AUTO,
it automatically switches between LOW
and HIGH as room temperature changes.
ODE—COOL—For cooling
FAN—For fan-only operation

The ventilation control lever is located at
the middle left side of the Zoneline unit,
behind the room cabinet.
When set at the closed position, only the air
inside the room is circulated and filtered.
When set at the open position, some outdoor
air will be drawn into the room. This will reduce
the heating or cooling efficiency.
Energy Tip: Keep the vent control in the closed
position. The room air will be filtered and circulated.

External Fan (Obtained locally)
When connected, an auxiliary or external fan can be
controlled with the indoor fan motor on the Zoneline.
Connections provide 24 V AC to energize a remote relay,

Central Desk Control
When connected, the unit can be turned ON or OFF with

switch to each individual Zoneline.
Refer to MODE 2 on page 5 for fan setting options.
Remote Thermostat
When connected to a remote thermostat, the indoor air
temperature sensing is shifted from the unit to the
remote thermostat. For this reason, the units will operate
slightly differently when connected to a remote
thermostat. The following chart shows the unit operation

f using a digital/electronic wall thermostat, you must set
it to the 24 V AC setting. See the nstallation nstructions

■Use a vacuum to remove debris from the filter.
■Use a damp rag to wipe down the filter and

Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the Zoneline should
be checked regularly. f they are clogged with dirt
or soot, they may be professionally steam cleaned.
You will need to remove the unit from the wall
sleeve to inspect the coils. The dirt buildup occurs
on the fan side of the outdoor coil.
Clean the outside coils regularly.
Room Cabinet and Case
Turn the Zoneline off and disconnect the
power supply.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial

Air Filters
Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
The most important 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 failure.
To clean the air filters:
■Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■Run water through the filters from the
back side.
■Dry thoroughly before replacing.
NOTE: The air filters are interchangeable
and will fit in either the right or left side.
To remove the air filters:
To replace the air filters:
CAUTION:Do not operate the
Zoneline without the filters in place. If a filter
becomes torn or damaged, it should be replaced
immediately.
Operating without the filters in place or with
damaged filters will allow dirt and dust to reach
the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.
Replacement filters are available from your
salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts
Center or authorized Customer Care®servicers.
