■ 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

■ 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.

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.

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.

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.
