CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Your heater needs very little maintenance, however the following information will help you keep it looking good and
working efficiently.
HUMIDIFIER TRAY
If the humidifier tray gets dirty, wash in warm soapy water. With the heater
cold, remove the lower cover panel and pull out the humidifier tray from the
appliance. If there is water in the tray, keep the tray level to avoid spilling.
FAN FILTER(S)
To protect the appliance internals from dust particles or lint, a filter(s) is situated at the
rear of the heater. If the filter(s) becomes blocked, the Filter indicator will flash to
indicate that it should be cleaned.
Clean the filter(s) weekly during the heating season as dusty or clogged filters reduce
the air flow through the appliance reducing heating effectiveness.
To remove the filter(s) for cleaning pull straight up and out from appliance, note that the
RHFE-1005FT has two filters.
If the filter(s) becomes blocked during heater operation and requires cleaning, the ‘ON’
indicator will flash and the Digital Display will show error code 14.
CLEANING THE FAN FILTER(S)
Dry dust / lint: Use duster or vacuum to remove dust.
Oily dust / lint: Wash the fan filter(s) with a mild detergent. Drain off the
water and dry the filter(s) before returning to the appliance.
FLUE TERMINAL
• Unplug electrical cord before cleaning.
• All parts of the heater can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
• DO NOT use solvents or abrasives to clean any parts or surfaces.
• DO NOT attempt to clean the heater while the appliance is hot or operating.
DO NOT remove or attempt to clean filter(s) while the appliance in operation.
DO NOT use the heater with the Filter indicator flashing as this may cause overheating.
DO NOT wait for the Filter indicator to flash before cleaning filter(s). If you do not clean the
filter(s) at regular intervals or the Filter indicator is allowed to remain flashing, then the
appliance will stop. You MUST clean the filter(s) before operating the heater again.
Return Fan Filter(s) to the appliance after cleaning. DO NOT
attempt to operate the appliance without filter(s) in place.
Regularly check the outside flue terminal to make sure it is clear from plant growth and from other
obstructions. Refer to “SAFETY” on page 7 for additional requirements.
