OWNER’S INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Model 2424 800-621-94197
)The Continuum 2424 is one of the most advanced water heaters available. It supplies
hot water continuously at the temperature preset in the unit or at the temperature set
on the optional remote control(s). Remote controls are recommended for optimum per-
formance.
)The Continuum 2424 never runs out of hot water. While electricity, water and gas sup-
plies are connected, hot water is available whenever the hot tap is open.
)The gas burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and goes out
when the tap is closed. Ignition is electronic, there is no pilot light. When the hot water
tap is off, no gas is used. You save energy and money with the Continuum 2424.
)The temperature of the outgoing hot water is constantly monitored by a built in sensor.
If the temperature of the outgoing water rises to more than 6 degrees above the se-
lected temperature (shown on the optional digital remote control) the gas burner will
automatically go out. The gas burner will re-ignite once the outgoing hot water tempera-
ture falls below the selected temperature.
)Built into the microprocessor of the Continuum 2424 is the ability to LIMIT THE MAXI-
MUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied by the Continuum 2424. Without the
connection of an optional remote control, the Continuum 2424 is preset to deliver 120
degree water.
)With the optional remote the water temperature is adjustable from 96 to 140 with the
main controller and from 96 to 120 with the bath controller. The water temperature can
be preset at 108, 120, 130, or 140 by a certified Rinnai technician. If you require a
temperature other than 120 or what the remotes will give you, please contact your
Rinnai certified technician.
)Error messages are displayed on the optional remote controls, simplifying service calls.
)The Continuum 2424 incorporates a device to prevent the temperature from varying
when the water is off, then on again. It also incorporates a rapid response device for
fast heating.
)The sound (noise) level from the Continuum 2424 is very low.
)The Continuum 2424 is a very compact power vented device. It saves valuable floor
and wall space.
FEATURES OF YOUR NEW CONTINUUM

Always check water temperature by hand
before entering the shower or bath. The
temperature may have been changed.
The water temperature can only be ad-
justed between 96°F and 110°F when the
hot water tap is open, and hot water is
flowing.
Do not clean Remote Controls with
solvents. Use a soft damp cloth. Do not touch the cover or insert objects
into the flue outlet of the Continuum 2424.
On cold days steam may be discharged
from the flue outlet, this is normal with a
high efficiency appliance and does not
indicate a fault.
SAFETY ISSUES

Model 2424 800-621-94199
Keep flammable materials, trees, shrubs etc.
away from the Continuum 2424
Do not spray water directly into the flue
terminal.
If the external Continuum 2424 is discon-
nected from the power supply and freez-
ing conditions are expected, turn off

Depending on the weather conditions and the
length of the pipe between the Continuum
2424 and the tap in use, there may be a
variation between the temperatures displayed
at the Remote Control and the temperature of
the water at the tap.
106°F
The Continuum 2424 controls the water
temperature automatically. To do this it
sometimes needs to change the water
flow accordingly. The water flow from the
hot water tap may vary after the selected
temperature at the Remote Control is
altered. The water flow may also vary
from summer to winter, as incoming water
temperatures differ.

BASIC OPERATION
Priority

Model 2424 800-621-941911
ABOUT HOT WATER
Hot Water Is Dangerous, especially for the young and the elderly or the
infirm. The Continuum 2424 allows you to precisely control the tempera-
ture of your hot water, ensuring safe hot water temperatures.
Water Temperatures over 125°F can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Hot Water can cause first degree burns with
exposure for as little as:
3 seconds at 140 °F
20 seconds at 130 °F
8 minutes at 120 °F
Test the temperature of the water with your
elbow before placing a child in the bath or
shower.
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in
the bath unsupervised.
Scalds - First Aid
1) Remove clothing; Remove all wet clothing, quickly. Wet clothing retains the heat.
2) Apply cold water for 30 minutes; Immediately submerge the burnt area in cold
water for 30 minutes to reduce the heat in the skin, preventing deeper burning.
Never use butter, oils or ointment to cover the burn. They may retain the heat.
3) Keep the scalded person warm; Place a blanket around the person.
4) Seek Medical Advice; Call your medical advice hotline and describe the scald,
follow their directions.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND COMMON QUESTIONS
Q- I don't have any hot water when I open the tap!
A- Make sure there is gas and electricity to the Continuum 2424.
(the power is turned on and the gas is turned on)
Q- When I was using the hot water, the water got cold!
A- If you adjusted the flow from the tap to lessen it, you may have gone
below the minimum flow required. The Continuum 2424 requires .6
GPM to operate. If you mix the water with a tap and attempt to get a
temperature well below the temperature being controlled by the unit, it
may drop the flow below .6 GPM. Decrease the temperature supplied
by the Continuum 2424 at the remote control or increase your total
flow.
Q- White smoke comes out of the exhaust!
A- During colder weather when the exhaust temperature is hotter than
the air, the exhaust fumes condense producing white steam.
Q- When I open a hot tap. I do not immediately get hot water!
A- Hot water must travel through your plumbing from the Continuum
2424 to the faucet. This can take from 2 to 10 or more seconds de-
pending upon your plumbing system.
Q- After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the Continuum 2424
continues to run!
A- The fan is designed to be on for 65 seconds after the flow of water
stops.This is to ensure constant water temperatures during rapid start-
ing and stopping, as well as exhausting any residual gas flue prod-
ucts from the unit.

Model 2424 800-621-941917
