OPERATING YOUR NEW RHFE-308FTR
■TO OPEN THE CONTROL PANEL
Lift lightly in the centre of the lid where there is
a catch. The control panel lid will then drop
backward to an angle.
■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 must continue to run until the appliance cools.
