lter indicator is allowed to remain ashing, the
appliance will stop and the display will show
error code 14. The lter will need cleaning
before the appliance can be turned back on.
Clock and timer indicators
When programming, the indicators will glow to
indicate what is being programmed. The ‘Temp’
indicator indicates the set temperature for the
timer that is being set.
Display window
Shows either the time of day, temperature or
error code.
Adjusting the room temperature
Pressing the up and down arrows will
change the preset temperature by 1 °C. The
temperature will be shown in the display
window. The room temperature sensor is
located behind the Energysaver so the
temperature on the display may vary slightly
from the actual room temperature.
The temperature can be set to:
L (low)
Typically used to keep the chill o󰀨 a large room.
The unit operates on the lowest burner setting. If
the room temperature is above 10 °C, the burner
will switch o󰀨, the fan will wind down, and the
appliance will stop heating. If the temperature
then drops below 10 °C the heater will switch
back on.
16-26 °C
Unit will modulate, and in some instances
turn o󰀨 and on, to maintain the selected
temperature.
H (high)
Unit operates on the highest burner setting.
The ‘L’ and ‘H’ settings are not normally
used as this means the heater operates
without a set temperature.
Economy
Prevents the room overheating and reduces
gas consumption.
How it works
After the room reaches the set temperature,
the set temperature will automatically start
decreasing, dropping by a maximum of 1 °C
in 30 minute blocks, until ‘comfort control’ is
reached. When in comfort control the unit alters
combustion and fan speed to keep the room at
a comfortable temperature.

Floor protection
Energysavers discharge a large volume
of warm air at a low level. Heat over
time may a󰀨ect the appearance of some
ooring materials, such as, carpet, vinyl,
cork, or timber. To avoid this occurring, it is
recommended that
a mat be placed
in front of the
appliance.
Outside ue terminal
Keep ammable materials, trees, shrubs, etc.
away from the ue terminal. In areas subject
to heavy snowfall, keep snow clear of the
ue terminal at all times.
Snow
Outside ue terminal
On cold days steam may be discharged
from the ue terminal. This is normal with
high e󰀩ciency gas appliances like the
Energysavers and does not indicate a fault.

Additional heater information
Humidier tray
Your heater is tted with an enamel humidier
tray. To ll the tray, open the access panel as
shown below. Pour water into the tray, or in the
case of the 1005, pour water into the ller spout
built into the access panel.
309 / 559/ 561
1005
If you notice water in the humidier tray, but
you have not placed any in there do not be
alarmed, this is normal. This will be condensate
from the ue system—designed to drain into
the humidier tray.
If you are using the humidier tray, it will need
lling approximately once a day.
• Do not ll the humidier tray while the
heater is on, it will be very hot and could
cause burns—turn the heater off and wait at
least ve minutes.
• Do not operate the heater without the
humidier tray in place.
Vertical louvre adjustment
When the heater is turned o󰀨 the direction of
the warm air ow may be altered by carefully
inserting a screwdriver or similar tool and gently
bending the vertical louvres to the left or right.
The louvres are not designed to be adjusted
more than six times as they will weaken and
break.
Power failure
If a power failure occurs the unit will turn itself
o󰀨. After power has been restored the unit will
automatically turn on again—you may need to
reset the clock depending on the length of the
power cut.
If timer settings have been programmed the
system memory will retain the timer settings,
but the clock will stop at the time the power
goes o󰀨 and will be slow by however long the
power has been o󰀨.
Preheat
Automatically functions in conjunction with the
timers. When a timer is selected, the heater
may operate anywhere within an hour prior
to the programmed on time. The preheat
function ensures the room reaches the desired
temperature by the programmed start time.

Care and maintenance
Before cleaning any part of the heater ensure
it is turned o󰀨 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 humidier tray gets dirty it can be washed
in warm soapy water.
Fan lter(s)
To protect the appliance
from dust or lint a lter
(two in the case of the
1005) is located at the
rear of the appliance.
If the lter becomes
blocked the lter
indicator will ash to
indicate that it should be
cleaned.
The build up of dust on the lter reduces
the air ow through the heater. This reduces
the e󰀩ciency and can lead to the appliance
shutting down. Regular (weekly) lter cleaning
during the heating season will stop this from
happening.
If you do not clean the lter at regular intervals
and the ‘Filter’ indicator is allowed to remain
ashing, the appliance will stop (ON indicator
will ash and the display will show error code
14). The lter will need to be cleaned before
operating the appliance again.
• Do not remove the lter when the appliance
is operating.
• Do not use the heater with the ‘Filter’
indicator ashing as this may cause the
appliance to overheat.
Cleaning the fan lter(s)
• Dry dust/lint: Use a duster or vacuum to
remove the dust.
• Oily residue: Wash using a mild detergent,
drain o󰀨 the water, and dry.
Ensure the fan lter is tted back into
the appliance after cleaning. DO NOT
operate the appliance without the lter
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, please call Rinnai
(0800 746 624).
For reliable operation your Rinnai Energysaver,
including inspection of the ue 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 benecial.
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.
WARNING

12
Troubleshooting
Check the following information before making a service call. If you are still unsure or concerned
after reading this section, please contact Rinnai.
Using the heater for the rst time, or after a long period of non use
The heater may not start the rst time it is operated due to air in the gas pipes. If ignition does not
occur within approximately one minute the heater will attempt to start again. If it does not start the
unit will switch itself o󰀨 automatically—this is a safety feature. Try switching the heater back on if
this occurs.
What’s happening Explanation and/or possible solution
Warm air not coming from the heater when it
starts.
The heater’s fan will start automatically after
a short delay. This is to allow the appliance to
warm up and to stop cold draughts.
Smoke or strange smells coming from the
heater after it has been installed.
This is caused by grease, oil, or dust within the
appliance. It will stop after a short time.
Clicking noises when the heater starts or
stops, or changes to a higher or lower setting.
This is the expansion and contraction of
the heat exchanger and is a normal part of
operation.
Clunking noise when the thermostat operates. This is the sound of the gas valve opening
and closing to regulate the ow of gas and is a
normal part of operation.
Fan continues to run after the heater is turned
o󰀨.
This is to remove the heat from the appliance
and will stop once the heater has cooled down.
Timer(s) do not operate at the set time. Check the timers are set correctly as they may
be inactivated or incorrectly programmed.
Smell of gas. There may be a small leak in the appliance.
Turn the heater o󰀨 and contact Rinnai.
Heater doesn’t start. Check power cord is plugged in properly.
Check the lock isn’t on.

13
Error codes
The Energysaver range has built-in technology to continually monitor performance. If a fault occurs
an error message will ash on the digital display on the control panel. This assists with diagnosing
the fault and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call.
In all cases you may be able to clear the error by turning the heater o󰀨 and on again. If the error
code remains or returns when the heater is used again, contact Rinnai.
Faults caused by insu󰀩cient gas supply, gas quality, installation or operation errors are not covered
by the Rinnai warranty.

Positioning, gas, and electrical supply
Positioning
The main points governing the location of the heater are ueing and warm air distribution. The
heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact
with the appliance, refer clearances diagram below. In some cases curtains may need restraining.
Energysavers are not recommended for installations in unusually dusty environments such as
hair salons or where there are a large number of pets, these environments will cause continual
blockages of the fan lter.
Energysavers MUST NOT be built into bookcases or walls.
Gas supply
The gas supply terminates outside the heater at the rear of the appliance. The gap required
between the wall and the heater body is 85 mm for the standard rear panels (115 mm for the
1005FT3), or 200 mm for the back spacer kit (230 mm for the 1005FT3).
Gas piping must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as other gas appliances in the
building. An approved sizing chart such as the one in AS/NZS 5601.1:2013 should be used.
All foreign materials, such as lings, must be purged from the gas supply as they may cause the
gas control valve to malfunction.
Electrical supply
The electrical connection is to the right hand side of the heater (passes out
behind the heater). A 3-pin plug with a 1500 mm power cord is supplied. This
must be connected to a dedicated earthed power point. The power point must
not be above the unit as this is a potential re hazard.
Alternatively the appliance can be direct wired if the power supply is to
be concealed. The electric isolation switch MUST BE accessible after the
appliance has been installed. Consult a qualied electrician if direct wiring is required as this must
comply with the requirement of AS/NZS 5601.1:2013 and AS/NZS 3000 and other relevant local
regulations.
If the supply cord is damaged and requires replacing, it must be replaced by a licensed

Energysaver ueing guidelines
Every Energysaver heater requires a ue system that will draw e󰀨ectively and clear products safely
under all potential wind and climatic conditions. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the appliance is provided with an e󰀨ective ue. Some guidelines to assist with ue design
are in this guide. These must be read and modied as necessary with reference to the particular
installation.
All Rinnai Energysavers must be installed with an approved Rinnai ue system.
Flue clearance to combustibles
Energysaver ue components, except
the elbow section of the ESKIT03, and
ESELBOWB, have zero clearance.
The ESKIT03 and ESELBOWB require a
minimum clearance of 25 mm from combustible
materials.
Condensate trap
A condensate trap is required for all vertical
installations to ensure condensate generated
during combustion is trapped and prevented
from entering the chamber of the heater.
2° fall to wall terminal
For direct, sideways, and down-and-out
installations there must be a continuous fall
of 2° to the wall terminal (equates to 20 mm
per metre). The Energysaver A/AA direct
mushroom ues have an inbuilt 2° fall, and the
wall plate of the ESDFK kit has a 2° offset.
Flue terminal locations
Must be compliant with AS/NZS 5601.1:2013.
• Do not ue into natural draft ues or
replaces
• Do not ue into other rooms, roof spaces,
or under oor spaces
The flue terminal must be positioned away from
flammable materials.
Keep snow and other items, such as outdoor
furniture well clear of the flue terminal at all
times.
Flashings
Flashings are not part of the ue kit and must
be specied.
Vertical ue cowl clearance
To ensure products of combustion are cleared,
adequate clearance from the building is
required.
The flue cowl should have a 500 mm clearance
from any part of the building. This also applies
to steeped and pitched roofs where the flue
cowl should be 500 mm clear of the ridge line.
An adequate flow of fresh air must exist around
the flue cowl following installation. Minimum
clearances are shown in AS/NZS 5601.1:2013.
Maximum ue length and number of bends
Maximum ue length = 9 m
Maximum number of bends = 3
One 90° bend equals 1 m. For every 90° bend
the overall length must be reduced by 1 m. For
example, if an installation has three 90° bends,
the maximum flue length can be 6 m.
The ue transition connection for the ESKIT03
and ESELBOWB is counted as a 90° bend.

Energysaver ueing options (most common)
Direct and direct extended ueing
Direct through the wall ueing for walls
75-385 mm thick.
Flue can be extended if wall thickness is
greater than 385 mm using the ESDFK
and additional lengths of ue pipe
ESPIPE900.
Direct
R1350: Mushroom ue kit for walls 75-115 mm
R1351: Mushroom ue kit for walls 115-240 mm
ESDFK1: Straight horiz. kit for walls up to 385 mm
Direct extended
ESDFK1 + ESPIPE9002
Sideways extension ueing
Flue runs along the left or right hand
side of an internal wall behind the unit.
If retrotting the ue can be boxed in
along the oor or behind a 125 mm false
wall. The installation requires additional
clearance o󰀨 the wall, a back spacer kit
is required.
Sideways in-wall
ESDFK1 + ESELBOWB + ESPIPE9002
Sideways front-of-wall
Back spacer kit + ESDFK1 + ESPIPE9002
Vertical extension through-wall ueing
Flue runs directly from the unit to a
vertical termination on the roof.
Examples for this option would be
an Energysaver installed against a
solid brick wall or where there are ue
clearance restrictions.

ESROOFCOWL
Vertical extension in-wall ueing
Flue is installed within a stud wall,
minimum cavity depth 90 mm, and is
run vertically. This type of installation is
usually completed at the framing stage.

Down and out ueing
Flue runs below the oor to an external
termination—must have a continuous
fall of 2° to the termination point to drain
condensate. Ideal for Energysavers that
need to be located in a central position
of a building.
If not going in-wall the ue will require
additional clearance o󰀨 the wall—back
spacer kit required.
