You use the paginate property to set the paginate method settings.

$this->paginate = array(
    'ProductZone' => array(
        'conditions' => array(
            'ProductZone.active' => true,
            'ProductZone.id' => 10,
        ),
        'order' => 'ProductZone.created DESC',
        'limit' => 10
    )
);
$product_zones = $this->paginate('ProductZone');
$this->set(compact('product_zones'));
