An analysis of the results of observations of the symbiotic star Z And has shown that no definite model can be derived at present on their basis. If the hot component is essentially an accreting white dwarf with a hydrogen-burning shell source, then the gas envelope must be optically thin for Lc-emission and its Te must be in the neighborhood of 2.6×104K. And if the hot component is a main sequence star with an accretion disk around it, then it is classified with red dwarfs. The electron temperature of the gas envelope must be 1.5×104K. Substitution of a solar-type star for the first-named component in the binary 'red dwarf+red giant' system will lead to a significant decrease in the excitation of the combination spectrum.
