OPERATING YOUR NEW RCE-229A
TURNING ON
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.
DO NOT turn heater off by unplugging at the power point.
The convection fan will continue to run until the appliance cools.
ROOM TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The room temperature and pre-set temperatures can only be displayed and adjusted when
the heater is running.
Press the “S” button to increase the temperature setting
or “T” button to decrease the temperature setting.
The temperatures can be preset to:
a) [L] low (about 50°F)
b) [60°F] to [80°F] in 2°F increments
c) [H] (continuously high)
If the heater does not ignite then the pre-set temperature may not be set to a setting which
is higher than the actual room temperature.
AUTO-OFF FUNCTION

will glow. You have selected a Full Thermostat
Control Function. The heater will cycle High, Low
and OFF to maintain the selected room
temperatures.
