Air Filters
NOTICE: Do not operate the Zoneline without the
filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged, it
should be replaced immediately.
Operating without the filter in place or with a damaged
filter will allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and
reduce the cooling/heating, performance, airflow, and
efficiency of the unit.
Dirty filters reduce cooling, heating performance and air
flow.
Changing the filter will: Decrease cost of operation,
save energy, prevent clogged heat exchanger coils, and
reduce the risk of premature component failure.
Replacement filters should be purchased from your local
retailer where air conditioner and furnace accessories
