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.

About Heat Pumps

 

(on some models)

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.

NOTE:  The on/off switch does not remove power 

from the unit.

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.
