Tips

Ventilation Control

The ventilation control lever is located on the left side of the Zoneline unit, behind the front case panel.

To access the ventilation control lever, remove the front panel by removing the filter, taking out the four front screws, the upper two screws from the top of the panel and the shipping screws on each side, if present. (Discard the four side shipping screws, if present).

When the lever is in the CLOSE position, only the air inside the room is circulated and filtered.

When the lever is in the OPEN position, some outdoor air will be drawn into the room. This will reduce the heating or cooling efficiency.

To close the vent, push the vent lever handle down, pull it forward and lock it up in place.

To open the vent, push the vent lever handle down, push it back and lock it up in place.

Energy Tip: Keep the vent control in the CLOSE position. The room air will be filtered and circulated.

NOTE: Ventilation openings are not intended to be the source of make-up air for building ventilation systems due to the additional heating and cooling loads generated.

Troubleshooting

Support

Heat pumps can reduce operating costs by exchanging heat from the outside air—even when the outside temperature is below freezing— and releasing that heat indoors.

To get the best economic benefit from your heat pump, don’t change the room thermostat setting 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 three 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.

The electric heating elements use much more electricity than heat pumps and cost more to operate.

Do Not Operate the Air Conditioner (cool mode) in Freezing Outdoor Conditions

Air conditioners are not designed for use when freezing outdoor conditions exist. They must not be used in freezing outdoor conditions.
