3500 Series only

_]_en the outdoor temperatm'e is lower

than 25°E heat is provided by the electric

heater in the air con(litioner instead of by

the heat pump.

About YourHeat Pump(3500Seriesonly)

Heat pmnps 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_ommnce flxm_ ):our heat

pump, don't change the room them_ostat ve_y

otten. 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 miimte minimum compressor

run time at any setting to prevent short cycling.

The indoor tim motor starts befl)re the

COllll)I'essoI" [lIl(l stops atter the coi/ll)i'essoi"

cycles off'.

The electric heating elements use much

more electricity than heat pmnps and cost

illOi'e to operate.

OtherfeaturesyourZoneline mayhave.

Ventilation Control

The xentilation control lexer is located at the

upper left side of the Zoneline unit, behind the

I'OOIll cabinet,

X,_q_en set at CLOSE, OlflV the air inside the

room is circulated and filtered.

_,_q_en set at OPEN, some outdoor air will be

drawn into the room, This will reduce the

Temperature Limiting

Temperature limiting can reduce enex%_' costs

by limiting the lowest temperature that can be

set fl)r cooling and the highest temperature 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 the

cooling limits and the remaining three switches

are used to control the heating limits, This

teature is not a\_filal)le with the Remote
