Zoneline Air Conditioner - Cleaning Filter

Zoneline® air conditioners typically have 2 air filters. The most important thing you can do to maintain a Zoneline® air conditioner is to clean the filters at least every 30 days.

 

Cleaning the Air Filter on a Zoneline® Air Conditioner

To properly clean and maintain the filters on a GE Zoneline® packaged terminal air conditioner or heat pump, please consider the following:

 
  • Filters should be checked weekly and cleaned monthly. Cleaning may be required more often if new carpet has been installed or the property is new.
  • Dirty filters may decrease operating efficiency by as much as 20%. When filters are clogged air will try to bypass the filters at every opening. This lint/debris will attach itself to the indoor coil and restrict airflow. If this material becomes hard, it becomes difficult to remove and professional cleaning may be required.
  • A good procedure is to have an extra supply of replacement filters and use them to replace the dirty filters on a routine basis. The dirty filters could be cleaned and used for the next scheduled change out. If 25% of the rooms were done weekly, the entire facility could be completed monthly.

Always turn off the Zoneline® before cleaning.

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

Note: The air filters are interchangeable and will fit on the left or right side.
