HOW TO OPERATE THE HEATER ■ Turning ON ●Press the ON/OFF button ・The ON indicator will illuminate green. ・The convection fan will rotate. ・Ignition will take 5∼ 10 seconds and the ON / Combustion indicator will change from green to red to let you know that the burner has ignited. ON / OFF Note : ・When using the unit for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ignition may not occur the first time it is operated as there may be air in the gas pipes.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE Displaying, setting and adjusting the room temperature can only be done when the heater is operating. ・When the unit is first operated, the room temperature is set at 22℃. ・Set the desired room temperature with the up and down buttons while looking at the display section. ・The “Set Temp” can be set to “L” or between “16” ∼ “26” , or “H” (continuous combustion on High) .
ECONOMY MODE The Economy Mode, when selected, has the ability to reduce gas consumption and ultimately save energy. Once a room has reached the desired temperature, the unit will automatically begin reducing the set temperature gradually. This reduction is normally not noticeable, however, it is purely your choice whether to select this mode.
FUNCTION LOCK The Function Lock will help to prevent accidental operation as well as small children from altering the heater settings. 1 Timer 1 The Function Lock can be operated either when the heater is running, or in the “stand by” mode, by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously. The Function is activated and the Function Lock indicator will glow.
OVERRIDE FUNCTION This function is used to manually override the current operation of the heater. For example ; if the heater is in standby mode (ie. between finishing time and starting time of a Timer) and the Override button is selected, then the heater will begin to operate, and heat the room. Timer 2 Timer 1 AM PM Set 1 To operate the Override simply press the Override button. The Override indicator will flash.
SETTING CLOCK When the appliance is first plugged in and then turned on, the Digital Display will show As an example let’s set the clock to 10:35am. (See page 4 for complete Control Panel Layout.) 1 Timer 2 Timer 1 AM PM Set When the appliance is first plugged in or after a Temp Time power failure, the Digital Display will show Override Economy Press the Set Times button once. The Clock Indicator will flash.
PROGRAMMING THE ON / OFF TIMER (S) Before programming the Timers you must ensure that the clock has been set to the correct time. See page 12. As an example let’s programme Timer 1 to heat the room by 7:10AM and finish at 9:30AM. 1 AM PM Press the Set Times button twice. The Digital Display will show AM6:00. Timer 1 indicator will flash.
OPERATING THE HEATER TIMER (S) Before operating The Timer(s), the clock time must be correct, and a starting time and finishing time for the Timer(s) must be programmed. See pages 12 and 13. The two Timers operate in the same way. This heater does not commence operation at the programmed starting time. It will attempt to heat a room by the programmed starting time. (Pre-heat function. Refer to page 15.
PRE-HEAT FUNCTION 1 This function operates automatically in conjunction with either of the Timers. When a Timer is selected, the heater may operate anywhere within an hour prior to the programmed starting time of the Timer. The Pre-heat function will automatically heat a room to the pre-set temperature by the programmed ON-Time. (ie. Heater will come on earlier to ensure desired temperature is reached by the programmed time.) This function is called Pre-heat due to the way it operates.
OTHER OPERATING INFORMATION ■ HUMIDIFIER TRAY Your 1004FTR is fitted with an enamelled tray behind the air outlet so that you can humidify the air. To fill the tray, open the door as shown in the diagram and pour water into the tray using the spout built into the door. The air will be humidified as it passes over the water in the tray. DO NOT FILL THE TRAY WHILST THE UNIT IS IN OPERATION. CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER FILLING. The 1004FTR is a very high efficiency appliance.

LOCATION When positioning the unit the main points governing the location are : This unit is not designed to be built in. (1) Flueing (2) Warm Air Distribution. This heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with it. In some cases curtains may need restraining. See diagram for other recommended clearances. Flue is not designed to be positioned under floors, or below the level of the heater.
LOCATION Do not flue into natural draught flues or fireplaces, this unit can only be used with a Rinnai flue kit. (A flue kit is available to flue right through to the rear of most fireplaces Use this kit when the heater is going to be installed in front of a fireplace.) Do not flue unit into other rooms. Flue terminal must be outside. flue kits. Standard installation of flue manifold. Diagram below shows minimum clearances and distances from obstructions.
LOCATION Do not install the unit in an unusually dusty area. FOR WEATHERBOARD WALLS DRILL THROUGH CENTRE OF WEATHERBOARD FROM OUTSIDE, THEN DRILL FROM INSIDE THROUGH PLASTERBOARD. (mm) 54 Use flue guard if the terminal is easily accessible to children. Check local regulations.

CARE OF YOUR 1004FTR This unit needs very little maintenance. Simply clean the fan filters once a week and wipe the outer case with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS. Check the flue terminal occasionally to make sure shrubs etc. have not grown around it.
PRE-SERVICE CHECK Before asking for a service call please check the following. These points are part of the normal operation of the unit. At ignition : Warm air does not start when the burner lights. The fan is started automatically after a short delay. This is to allow the heat exchanger to warm up, helping to avoid cold draughts. Smoke or strange smells are produced on the first trial light up after installation.
ERROR MESSAGES The Energysaver 1004FTR has the ability to check its own operation continuously. If a fault occurs, an Error Message will flash on the Digital Display of the control panel. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call. Please quote the code displayed when inquiring about service. CODE DISPLAYED FAULT REMEDY 11 Ignition failure Check gas is turned ON. Service call if repeated. 12 Flame failure Check gas is turned ON.
SAFETY DEVICES Overheat Switch : This device automatically cuts the gas off if the heater exceeds a predetermined temperature. This is normally caused by an obstruction in front of the louvres, or a blocked fan filter. If this switch operates, turn the unit off, remove the obstruction (clean filters) and let the unit cool off before re-operating. Two Fusible Links Backs up the overheat switch. If a fusible link cuts the unit off, a service call by an authorised person is required to replace the link.
