About Vour 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.
Toget the best performance from your heat pump,
don't change the room thermostat very often.
Raisingthe heat setting 2-3 degreeswill cause
the Zonelineto useits electric heating elements in
order to reach the new temperature setting quickly.
There isa 3-minuteminimum compressor
run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.
Theindoor fan motor starts before the compressor
and stops after the compressor cycles off.
When the outdoor temperature islower than 25°F,
heat isprovided bythe electric heater in the air
conditioner instead of bythe heat pump.
Theelectric heating elements usemuch
more electricity than heat pumps and cost
more to operate. 3

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.

Care and cleaning.
Room Cabinet and Case
Turnthe Zoneline off and disconnect the
power supply. Toclean, usewater and a mild detergent.
Donot usebleach or abrasives.Somecommercial
cleaners may damage the plastic parts.
Outdoor Coils
Thecoilson the outdoor side ofthe Zonelineshould
be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt
or soot, they may be professionally steam cleaned.
Youwill need to remove the unit from the wall
sleeveto inspectthe coils.Thedirt 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 of the United States,a naturally
occurring "gel-like"or "slime-like"substancemay be
seeninthe basepan.
Checkit periodically and clean, if necessary.
Ventilation Filter
If the vent door is open,accessrequirestheremoval

Care and cleaning.
Tomaintain optimum performance, cleanthe filters at leastevery30 days.
Air Filters
D#ty filter--Needs cleaning Clogged filter--Great/y
reduces cooling, heating
and airf/ow
Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
Themost important thing you can do to maintain
the Zoneline isto clean the filter at least every
30 days.Cloggedfilters reduce cooling, heating
and air flow.
Keeping these filters cleanwill'.
• Decreasecost ofoperation.
• Saveenergy.
• Preventclogged heat exchanger coils.
• Reducethe risk ofpremature component failure.
Tocleanthe air filters:
• Vacuum offthe heavy soil.
• Runwater through the filters from the
back side.
• Drythoroughly before replacing.
NOTE:The air filters are interchangeable
and will fit in either the right or left side.
Toremove the air filters:

^,.,CAUTION:oonot 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 coiland reduce the cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.
