OPERATING YOUR NEW RHFE-556T

■ TO OPEN THE CONTROL PANEL

Open Control Panel Cover with key provided.

■ TURNING ON (For manual operation

please refer to page 21).

Press the ON/OFF button to operate the heater. The ON indicator will glow green. After approximately 20 seconds the spark generator will be heard before the burner ignites and the ON indicator glows red, indicating that the burner is alight. Warm air can be felt coming from the louvres 15 seconds later.

If the heater does not ignite on initial use, this may be due to air remaining in the gas supply line. The spark generator will only continue for 15 seconds. After this it will be necessary to press the ON/OFF button OFF, then ON again.

■ TURNING OFF

Simply press the ON/OFF button to switch off the heater. The ON indicator will go out. The convection fan will continue to operate for several minutes after the burner has gone out in order to cool the appliance.

Do not unplug the appliance while the convection fan is running.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

DO NOT turn heater off by unplugging at the power point. The convection fan must continue to run until the appliance cools.

■ 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-556T 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-556T 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.
