About YourHeat Pump (3800 Series only)

Heat l)mnps can save money by removing heat

fl'om the outside ai_e\'en when the outside

temperature is below fl'eezing--and releasing

that heat indom_,

To get the best pex_bmmnce fl'om your heat

I)mnp, don't change the room them/ostat ve_T

often. Raising the heat setting 2-3 degrees will

cause the Zoneline to use its electric heating

elements in order to reach the new temperatm'e

setting quickly.

There is a three minute minimum compressor

run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.

The indoor tim motor stm*s beli)re the

compressor and stops after the compressor

cycles off.

The electric headng elements use much

more electricit_ than heat pmnps and cost

II/OI'e to operate.

Quick Heat Recovery

Activates each time the them_ostat is

switched fl'om STOP or a COOLmode U) aHEAT

mode. Electric heatex_ are energized until the

them_ostat set point is reached. On heat pump

models, the heat pump operation will resume

at the next call for heat. 3

Ventilation Control

upper lett side of the Zoneline unit, behind

the room cabinet.

_,_q_en set at the closed position, onE' the air

inside the room is circulated and filtered.

X,_]_en set at the open position, some outdoor

air will be drawn into the room. This will

reduce the heating or cooling efficiency.

Energy Tip:Kee I) the vent control at the closed

Temperature Limiting

Temperature limiting can reduce energy' costs

by limiting the lowest temperature that can be

set fl)r cooling and the highest temI)erature that

can be set fin" heating, Temperature limiting is

controlled by the second six au_liarv switches,

The fit_t three switches are used to select tile

cooling limits, and the remaining three switches

are used to control the heating limits, This

teatm'e is not available with the Remote

Them_ostat--Class 2.

In some areas ot the United States, a "gelqike" or

"slime-like" stlbstance ill}iV be seen in the base l);In.

Check it periodically and clean, if necessary:
