■ 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.
