   To cancel the sleep mode, press the MODE pad or the SLEEP pad a second time.
   Fan, Mode and Operation Control
   FAN—Sets the fan operation for HIGH, LOW or AUTO speed. When set at AUTO, it automatically switches between LOW and HIGH as room temperature changes.
   MODE—COOL—For cooling
   FAN—For fan-only operation
   HEAT—For heating
   OPERATION—ON/STOP—Turns the unit on or off. Power remains connected to the Zoneline. The Freeze/Heat Sentinel features still function if active.See the freezer/Heat sentinel section on page 6.
   NOTE: the temperature display will flash to indicate a possible unit malfunction. set operation control to STOP and then restart the unit. if the flashing light reappears within 30 minutes, call for service.

Quick Heat Recovery
Activates each time the thermostat is switched from STOP or COOL mode to HEAT mode. Electric heaters are energized until the thermostat set point is reached. On heat pump models, the heat pump operation will resume at the next call for heat.

About Your Heat Pump (6100 Series only)
Heat pumps can save money by removing heat from the outside air—even when the outside temperature is below freezing—and releasing that heat indoors.
To get the best performance from your heat pump, don’t change the room thermostat 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 3-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.
When the outdoor temperature is lower than 25°F, heat is provided by the electric heater in the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
The electric heating elements use much more electricity than heat pumps and cost more to operate.

Other features of your Zoneline

Ventilation Control
NOTE: two shipping screws must be removed from the vent door before use. see the installation instructions in the back of this manual. if you do not plan to use the ventilation feature, leave these two screws in place.
The ventilation control lever is located at the middle left side of the Zoneline unit, behind the room cabinet.
When set at the closed position, only the air inside the room is circulated and filtered.
When set at the open position, some outdoor air will be drawn into the room. This will reduce the heating or cooling efficiency.
Energy Tip: Keep the vent control in the closed position. The room air will be filtered and circulated.

The owner is responsible for making all connections and setting the appropriate AUX SET mode.

CAUTION: Improper wiring may damage the Zoneline electronics. No common busing is permitted. Damage or erratic operation may result. A separate wire pair must be run from each separate controlling switch to each individual Zoneline.

External Fan (Obtained locally)

When connected, an auxiliary or external fan can be controlled with the indoor fan motor on the Zoneline. Connections provide 24 V AC to energize a remote relay, turning on the external fan.

Central Desk Control

When connected, the unit can be turned ONor OFF with a switch located at the Central Control Panel. A separate wire pair must be run from each separate controlling switch to each individual Zoneline. Refer to MODE 2 on page 5 for fan setting options.

Remote Thermostat

When connected to a remote thermostat, the indoor air temperature sensing is shifted from the unit to the remote thermostat. For this reason, the units will operate slightly differently when connected to a remote thermostat. The following chart shows the unit operation when connected to a remote thermostat.

NOTE: The Class 2 Mode setting (Mode 6) must be set to ON " " for the unit to operate with a Class 2 Remote Wall Thermostat. (See the installation instructions supplied with the remote thermostat and Mode instructions on page 7.)

IMPORTANT: The Zoneline thermostat connections provide 24 V AC only. If using a digital/electronic wall thermostat, you must set it to the 24 V AC setting. See the Installation Instructions for the wall thermostat.

CAUTION: Damage to a wall thermostat or to the Zoneline electronics can result from improper connections. Special care must be used in connecting the wires. No line voltage connections should be made to any circuit. Isolate all wires in building from line voltage.

Care and cleaning

Room Cabinet and Case

Turn the Zoneline off and disconnect the power supply.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Some commercial cleaners may damage the plastic parts.

Outdoor Coils

The coils on the outdoor side of the Zoneline should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they may be professionally steam cleaned. You will need to remove the unit from the wall sleeve to inspect the coils. The dirt buildup occurs on the fan side of the outdoor coil.

Base Pan

In some installations, dirt or other debris may be blown into the unit from the outside and settle in the base pan (the bottom of the unit).
In some areas of the United States, a naturally occurring “gel-like” or “slime-like” substance may be seen in the base pan. Check it periodically and clean, if necessary.

Ventilation Filter

If the vent door is open, access requires the removal of the unit from the wall sleeve. Clean the vent filter twice a year or as required.

Turn the Zoneline off and unplug before cleaning.

To clean the vent filter:

IMPORTANT: This filter is not removable. Trying to remove this filter will damage the unit.

• Use a vacuum to remove debris from the filter.
• Use a damp rag to wipe down the filter and surrounding area after vacuuming.

To maintain optimum performance, clean the filters at least every 30 days.

Air Filters

Turn the Zoneline off before cleaning.
The most important thing you can do to maintain the Zoneline is to clean the filter at least every 30 days. Clogged filters reduce cooling, heating and air flow.
Keeping these filters clean will:

• Decrease cost of operation.
• Save energy.
• Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
• Reduce the risk of premature component failure.

To clean the air filters:

• Vacuum off the heavy soil.
• Run water through the filters from the back side.
• Dry thoroughly before replacing.

NOTE: The air filters are interchangeable and will fit in either the right or left side.

To remove the air filters:

To replace the air filters:

CAUTION: Do not 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 coil and reduce the cooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of the unit. Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts Center or authorized Customer Care® servicers.
