Operating the Heater

Turning the heater ON

When you press and release the

ON/OFF button, the Temperature

Level lamps will illuminate, the

combustion fan will begin to run,

and the spark will ignite the main

burner.

This heater has an automatic ignition system. When

the main burner has lit, the combustion lamp will glow

red, and the spark will stop.

If ignition does not occur after 15 seconds, the

appliance will automatically turn off and the

Temperature Level lamps will flash indicating a fault

code. This may occur when using the appliance for

the first time or if it has not been used for a while. Try

operating the appliance again.

There may be a smell of burning dust or oil the first

time the heater is lit or when the heater has been out

of operation for a long time.

The appliance may make noises after ignition or when

it is turned off. This is normal and is due to the

thermal expansion or contraction of its components.

Adjusting the Temperature

The first time that the appliance is turned on, the

preset temperature of 72° F will be shown on the

display. Every time the temperature setting is

changed, that temperature setting will be the latest

data appearing on the display the next time the

appliance is turned on.

To change the temperature setting, adjust the

temperature control buttons until the desired setting is

indicated.

When the desired temperature has been set, 10

seconds later, the display will show the current room

temperature.

The thermostat automatically modulates the burner

and the fan to maintain the temperature setting.

The temperature settings available are:

• LO - burner is on minimum combustion

• 60° F - 80° F in two degree increments

• HI - burner is on maximum combustion

Turning the heater OFF

Press the ON/OFF button. Do not

turn off by unplugging at the power

outlet.

The fan will continue to run for a

short time to prevent the internal

components from overheating.

ON/OFF

Economy Mode

Pressing the Economy button will cause

the appliance to go into Economy Mode

and the green lamp will glow. This

results in the temperature setting being

reduced by 2° F, 30 minutes after the

room temperature has reached the

temperature setting. After another 30

minutes the temperature setting is

reduced another 2° F. This could result

in the temperature setting being reduced by a

maximum of 4° F. The intent of this mode is to save

energy.

When the heater is running at the LO setting, the

Economy Mode does not function.

CAUTION

Adjusting Air Flow Direction

The vertical louvers may be adjusted to move the air

flow more to the right or to the left.

Use a screw driver or similar object to bend each

louver to the desired position.

Do not bend repeatedly (no more than 5 times) or else

the louver will break.

The horizontal louver (which determines the vertical air

flow direction) is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

Do not adjust the air flow

louvers while warm air is

flowing.

Operating the Heater

Adding Water to the Humidifier

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.

During operation a small amount of condensation is

produced in the flue system and drains into the

humidifier tray.

If the water overflows from the water level hole, then

do not add any more water.

CAUTION

Do not fill the tray while the

appliance is in operation.

Close the door after filling.

The humidifier tray and

surrounding area are hot

when the appliance is on.

Lock

This feature locks the

buttons to prevent

unintended operation.

Press the up and

down buttons to

activate and the lamp

will glow. Pressing

and holding the up and down buttons for two seconds

will disengage the Lock.

If the Lock is engaged while the unit is operating, all

buttons will be disabled except for the ON/OFF button.

If the Lock is engaged while the unit is off, then all

buttons will be disabled. The Lock must be

disengaged in order to turn the unit on.

Filter Lamp

If the filter lamp flashes

during operation, check

the air filter for dust. If

dust is present, clean the

filter. See the Care and

Maintenance section. Turn the heater off before

cleaning the filter.

Sensible Temperature Control

The sensible temperature control feature allows

comfortable heating which matches the conditions in

the room.

Based on the information collected by the room

temperature thermistor when the heating starts, the

heating capacity is automatically adjusted to achieve

a comfortable heating effect and to reach the

temperature setting quickly.

Care and Maintenance

Filters

Dirty filters reduce the air flow and the appliance’s

ability to produce heat. The filters should be cleaned

frequently during the heating season. If the filters

become blocked the filter indicator lamp will flash and

the appliance will beep. Eventually the appliance will

turn off and the Temperature Level lamp 14 will light,

indicating a fault code.

To clean the filters, the

appliance should be OFF

and cool. Remove the

filter and clean it using a

soft dry cloth or vacuum.

If the filter is greasy wash

with warm soapy water,

rinse, and dry

completely.

Maintenance

All maintenance and service are to be performed by a

qualified service technician, preferably one who has

attended Rinnai service training classes on the Direct

Vent products.

The appliance should be inspected annually by a

qualified service technician. More frequent cleaning

may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control

compartments, burners, and circulating air passage

ways of the appliance be kept clean.

Any screen or guard removed for servicing the

appliance must be replaced prior to operating the

appliance. Clean as follows:

1. Turn heat off. Allow to cool for one hour.

2. Remove the front panel by removing two screws.

3. Use pressurized air to remove dust from the main

burner, heat exchanger, and fan blades.

4. Use soft dry cloth to wipe cabinet.

Do not use wet cloth or spray cleaners on the burner.

The flue should be inspected annually for blockages or

damage.

Motors are permanently lubricated and do not need

periodic lubrication. Keep fan and motor free of dust

and dirt by cleaning annually.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

Visual Inspection

of Flame

Check that the burner flames are operating normally.

The flame can be seen through the circular window

through the louvers.

When operating normally the burner flame should

appear as long, clear, blue, stable, streaks. Yellow

flames or an orange color is abnormal and

maintenance is required.

Care of Exterior

Dampen soft cloth with warm water. Wring water out

well and wipe the unit.

Do not use volatile substances such as benzene or

thinners. They cause fading of the paint and

deformation of the resin.

Snow Accumulation

Keep the area around flue terminal free of snow and

ice. The appliance will not function properly if the

intake air or exhaust is impeded by obstructions.

Refer to the Flue Terminal Clearances. The clearance

in Ref. A should be maintained from any snow

accumulation.

AIR FILTERS

CAUTION

Prevent dust from accumulating on the power cord,

side covers, and parts behind the appliance.
