About Your Heat Pump (3900 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 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.

Controls
Temp Control
The temp control is used to maintain the
room temperature. The compressor will
cycle on and off to keep the room at the
same level of comfort.
Press the + pad to raise the temperature.
Press the – pad to lower the temperature.
3900 Series only
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.
Sleep
Press to set the air conditioner to run for
8 hours before it automatically returns to
the previous setting.
When in the cooling mode and the
sleep timer is set, the set temperature will
automatically increase 2°F after the second
hour then 1°F each hour over the next two
hours. Also, the fan speed will change to
low. When in the heating mode, the set
temperature will decrease in the same
manner.
To cancel the sleep mode, press the
MODE
pad or
the
SLEEP
pad a second time.
