Care And Maintenance - Rinnai Energysavers RHFE-1005FT Operation And Installation Manual

Care and maintenance

Before cleaning any part of the heater ensure it is
turned off and has cooled down. All parts of the
heater can be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and
mild detergent—do not use solvents.
If the humidifier tray gets dirty it can be washed in
warm soapy water.
Fan filter(s)
To protect the appliance
from dust or lint a filter
(two in the case of the
1005FT) is located at the
rear of the appliance. If the
filter becomes blocked the
filter indicator will flash to
indicate that it should be
cleaned.
The build up of dust on the filter reduces the air
flow through the heater. This reduces the heater's
efficiency and can lead to the appliance shutting
down. Regular (weekly) filter cleaning during the
heating season will stop this from happening.
If you do not clean the filter at regular intervals
and the 'Filter' indicator is allowed to remain
flashing, the appliance will stop (ON indicator will
flash and the display will show error code 14). The
filter will need to be cleaned before operating the
appliance again.
• Do not remove the filter when the appliance is
operating.
• Do not use the heater with the 'Filter'
indicator flashing as this may cause the
appliance to overheat.
Cleaning the fan filter(s)
• Dry dust/lint: Use a duster or vacuum to
remove the dust.
• Oily residue: Wash using a mild detergent,
drain off the water, and dry.
Ensure the fan filter is fitted back into the
appliance after cleaning. DO NOT operate
WARNING
the appliance without the filter in place.
Maintenance and servicing
Rinnai has a maintenance, service and
spare parts network with personnel
who are fully trained and equipped to
give the best advice on your Rinnai
appliance. If your appliance needs
maintenance or servicing for repair, please call
Rinnai (0800 746 624).
For reliable operation your Rinnai Energysaver,
including inspection of the flue section, should
be checked by a licensed tradesperson every
two years. If located in a particularly dusty area
or subject to excess lint, for example dog hair or
where there are newly laid carpets, then annual
servicing would be beneficial.
Regular maintenance and servicing is not covered
by the Rinnai warranty.
If you have any other faults or problems, please
contact your installer or call Rinnai.
