■FAN FILTER

To protect the room air fan from dust particles or lint, a filter is situated at the rear of the appliance. When this filter becomes blocked, the filter indicator will flash to indicate that it should be cleaned. Clean the filter weekly during the heating season to avoid unnecessary strain on the appliance.

Do not remove filter when appliance is operating.

When the filter requires cleaning, clean filter before using the appliance, or whilst the appliance is not operating.

If you do not clean the filter at regular intervals and the filter indicator is allowed to remain flashing, then the appliance will stop and [14] will flash on the Digital Display signifying that the inbuilt safety device has functioned. You must clean the filter before operating the heater again.

■HUMIDIFIER TRAY

1

So that you can humidify the air, your Rinnai RHFE-308FTR is fitted with an enamelled tray at the bottom of the heater. If you choose to make use of the humidifier tray, it will need filling about once a day during the heating season. Do not fill the humidifier tray while the heater is running.

To fill the humidifier tray:

Remove the bottom trim panel, below the louvres, by pulling on both sides. Simply pull the tray forward to allow it to be filled with water. The warm air will be humidified as it passes over the water in the tray. Refit the bottom trim panel after filling the tray. The RHFE-308FTR is a very high efficiency appliance, during operation a small amount of condensation is produced in the flue system, this drains into the enamelled humidifier tray.

The humidifier has the benefit (when filled with water) of raising the humidity in the air. With increased humidity, the heater can actually be run at a lower temperature while still maintaining the same level of comfort.

■VERTICAL LOUVRE ADJUSTMENT

The warm air flow direction may be altered by inserting a screwdriver or similar tool and gently bending the vertical louvre(s) either to the left or the right.

Note: These louvres are not designed to be adjusted more than 6 times.
