Congratulations on purchasing the technologically advanced, temperature controlled, Rinnai Hot Water
System.
• Rinnai water heaters will NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. As long as electricity, water, and gas
supplies are connected, hot water is available when hot water taps are open.
• Built into the main micro-processor is the facility to LIMIT THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot
water supplied. The water temperature may be set to various temperatures. This is particularly useful
when the hot water unit is installed where young children or the infirm may be using the hot water. If
required, the temperature can be changed via the dip switches on the PCB or with a localised
controller. For further information, please contact Rinnai.
• Rinnai Infinity water heaters are powered flue appliances. This makes them COMPACT, saving both
floor and wall space.
• The temperature of outgoing hot water is CONSTANTLY MONITORED by a BUILT-IN SENSOR. If
the temperature of the outgoing hot water rises to more than 3°C above the selected temperature the
burner is shut OFF and only turned ON again when the temperature falls to below the selected
temperature.
• The burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and extinguishes when the tap is
closed. IGNITION IS ELECTRONIC, so there is no pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is
used.
• The Rinnai Infinity 32 litres models water heaters have a built in Status Monitor on the front of the unit
to display error codes and run condition.
• Up to four external temperature controllers can be mounted remotely from the heater. One Standard
control is supplied with all appliances (except for HD range). The remote offers the following
additional features:
Localised temperature setting
Diagnostic information
Error Codes
• ‘Deluxe’ Temperature Controllers are an optional extra. These provide functions including Bath Fill,
Voice Prompt, and Clock Setting.
• Temperatures selected at the controllers are retained in the SYSTEM MEMORY.
• Operating NOISE LEVEL IS VERY LOW.
• ERROR MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED on the Temperature Controllers and Status Monitor,
assisting with service.
• FROST PROTECTION device built in as standard.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS

6
Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young
children and the infirm. The water heater allows you to control
the temperature of your hot water to safe levels.
Do stay with children
whenever
they are in the bathroom.
Do take them out of the
bathroom if you need to
answer the phone or
door.
Do test the temperature of the water with
your elbow before placing your child in the
bath.
Do make sure that the tap is turned off
tightly.
Do consider setting your Rinnai Water
Heater at a maximum temperature of 50°C.
Do install a child proof tap cover OR,
Do install a child resistant tap.
Do not leave a toddler in the care of
another small child. The older child
may not have safely set the temperature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Water temperature over 50ºC can cause severe
burns instantly or even death from scalding.
Children, disabled and the elderly are at the
highest risk of being scalded by excessively hot wa-
ter.
Always test the temperature of the water before
bathing or showering.
Burns from hot water taps can result in very severe
injuries to young children.
Hot water at 65°C can severely burn a child in less
than half a second. At 50°C it takes five minutes.
Burns can occur when children are exposed directly
to hot water or when they are placed into a bath
which is too hot.
• Consider child-resistant taps or
inexpensive tap covers, both of
which prevent a child’s hand from
turning on the tap.
• Consider reducing the tempera-
ture of the water supplied to the
hot tap to 50°C.
This approach can be extremely
valuable because it requires a one
time action for a long term reduc-
tion in risks of scalds.
This type of automatic protection is
important during times when a par-
ent or carer has been
distracted.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always check water temperature before use.
Refer to warning about hot water on page 6 for
important safety information.
Hot water may go cold without warning at very
low water flows (less than 3 l/min).
The delivered water temperature is controlled
automatically. The water from the hot tap may be
reduced after the temperature shown on the
remote control is raised. The water flow may also
vary with the temperature of the incoming water
supply.
If freezing temperatures are expected, turn off
the water and gas, and drain the water heater.
If the power is left on the Automatic Frost
Protection will prevent the unit from Freezing.
Frost protection is standard on all units.
Keep flammable materials, trees, shrubs,
chemicals, etc. away from the flue outlet /
terminal.
Do not spray water into flue terminal
Do not touch the flue outlet. Do not insert objects
into the flue outlet / terminal.
On cold days steam may be discharged from the
flue outlet. This is normal, do not be alarmed. It
does not indicate a fault.

Rinnai Infinity products have no pilot light and operate automatically as soon as water flow is sensed.
The burner ignites with electronic ignition and the flame extinguishes as soon as water flowing through
the appliance stops.
Turn On by opening the hot water tap
The Rinnai Infinity range of water heaters are factory preset to a temperature of 55°C
(HD range to 65°C). Other limits, lower or higher, are available on request.
Temperature controllers are available to allow precise digital temperature control.
Controllers can be installed at any time after installation of the hot water unit.
Excessively hot water is dangerous. Rinnai water heaters allow you to control the
temperature of your hot water to a safe level.
Water temperatures above 50°C can cause severe burn s instantly, such scalding
may even result in death. Those most at risk are children, disabled, elderly and
the infirm. Hot water at 65°C (a very common water temperature in the UK) can
severely burn a child in less than half a second. At 50°C it takes five minutes.
Consider using Thermostatic Mixing Valves on the Hot Water Outlets.
OPERATION WITHOUT REMOTES
The Rinnai 32 litres water heaters have a built in status monitor on the front.
The status monitor has three conditions:
1. The water heater is off (no water flowing): the monitor is blank.
2. The water heater is on (heating water): the monitor displays the set temperature.
3. The water heater should be on, but is not (water is flowing, heater is not on): the
monitor will display a flashing error code.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The purpose of a Temperature Controller is to enable the user to have localised control over the hot
water supply.
Used correctly, the hot water unit will supply hot water at the temperature selected, even when the water
flow is varied, or when more than one tap is used.
Adjustments to the operation of your hot water unit can be made with any of the Temperature
Controllers.
Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed.
Up to four universal can be fitted with Rinnai water heaters. Universal Controllers allow temperature
selection only and one comes as standard with the water heater.
Deluxe Temperature Controllers are available as an optional extra.
These controllers have temperature selection, bath fill, voice prompt, and time clock functions.
When more than one universal Controller is used one may be set as the Master Controller to allow
temperatures above 50°C.
(ask Rinnai for more information)
Various water temperatures (°C) can be selected as follows:
Universal Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50°C
Master universal Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50,
55°C (60, 65°C HD)
Deluxe Bathroom Controller:
Hot Water Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50°C
Bath fill Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48°C
Deluxe Kitchen Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 55°C (60, 65°C HD)
If a temperature of 43°C or higher is selected on a ny controller and this temperature is then decreased
to below 43°C and increased again whilst the water is running, the maximum selectable temperature will
be 43°C. This provides additional safety for the user.
Suggested temperatures are:
Kitchen 50°C - 65°C**; Shower 39°C - 43°C; Bath fil l 39°C - 45°C
** This temperature may not be available on all installations.
These temperatures are suggested starting points for selection. You may find higher or lower
temperatures are more comfortable. Maintaining lower temperatures helps to save energy. To obtain
water temperatures lower than 37°C simply add cold water.
When multiple temperature controllers are used they allow the temperature to be set from various
locations by pushing the transfer button which gives that controller priority over the system. The
temperature selected by the controller with priority will be available to all outlets.

10
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
Safety features
Whilst the hot water tap is open, the following
safety features apply:
• Temperature selection cannot be transferred.
• The temperature setpoint on the controller
with priority can always be lowered, but the
setpoint can only be raised to 43°C.
• Other controllers are unable to take priority or
change the delivery temperature of the water.
• If off, the controller cannot be turned on.
The temperature of the outgoing water
is constantly monitored by a built in
sensor.
If the temperature of the outgoing
hot water rises to more than 3ºC above the
selected temperature shown on the digital
display, or the preset limit if controllers are not
fitted, the burner will automatically go out.
The red operation indicator will also go out.
The burner will ignite again once the outgoing
hot water temperature falls to that shown on the
digital display (or the pre-set limit of the Rinnai
Infinity heater).
Remote temperature controllers provide control over the water temperature. Rinnai water heaters can
be operated with 1, 2, 3, 4 or no temperature controllers.
Each time a button is pressed, a BEEP will sound. The BEEP sound can be muted by
depressing the Temperature Controller Up and Down buttons simultaneously for more than
3 seconds. This can be done for each Temperature Controller. To return to original
settings, repeat this step.

ERROR MESSAGES
Troubleshooting without controllers
If you have not installed temperature controllers and experience the following symptoms, please carry
out the suggestions below. If symptoms continue, please contact Rinnai for advice.
NOTE: Faults caused by insufficient gas/water supply or gas/water quality and installation errors are
not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Installations with circulation pumps
With temperature controller fitted.
If you have an installation using a secondary circulation pump this must be switched off so that there is
no flow through the heater when starting or after a power failure. If the pump is running the unit will not
operate (no display on the controller). Isolate pump then start heater before restarting pump. This is a
safety feature. The pump should also be fitted with a timer to prevent the consumption of energy while
the building is not used. The timer should bring the system back on at least one hour before it is to be
used.
Without temperature controller fitted.
The heater should automatically reset and provide water at the temperature set by the internal limit
switches.
Fault Remedy
Heater does not attempt
to start at all. Check the power is on at the heater. Check the cold water valve supplying the heater is open.
Heater starts then shuts
down immediately. Check the power is on. Open the hot water tap fully. Check the gas valve at the heater and at the gas meter is fully open.
Heater starts then water
goes cold. Check the power is on. Open your hot water tap further or try another hot outlet.

UNPACKING RINNAI WATER HEATER
• After unpacking the appliance check for
damage, if the heater is damaged contact
your supplier immediately. Do not install a
damaged appliance before checking with
your supplier.
• A heater accessories pack is inside the
carton. One remote control is supplied with
the Infinity 26e, 32e & 32i litres range of
water heaters. Infinity 26i model has a built-
in remote control on front of the appliance.
Remote controllers are not supplied with the
Rinnai HD range of heaters because they
are commercial units. If you require
controllers in commercial situations they are
compatible with the HD range and available
from Rinnai or your supplier.
• Check that the appliance supplied is the
correct gas type and pressure for the
installation. Refer to the data plate located
on the left-hand side of the appliance.
• Remove the heater and the accessories
from the carton, and check that all the parts
are included. The remote control cable is
provided with spade connectors.
Ignition
Press ON/OFF button of remote controller to turn on unit and the remote controller display and priority
LED will light up. When a hot water tap is opened the water flow sensor revolves and sends a pulse
signal to the printed circuit board (PCB). When the PCB detects water flow it compares the measured
temperature to the temperature setpoint. If required it begins the ignition process with the combustion
fan motor starting first. Once the air proving is made the main solenoid valve and change-over solenoid
valves are opened and the burner is lit by the sparking igniter.
Temperature Control
Once the flame rod proves ignition the Infinity modulates by controlling the gas rate, combustion air, and
water flow to precisely heat the water. This control is done by measuring the outgoing water temperature
with a thermistor.
Standby
When the hot water tap is closed the PCB no longer receives a pulse signal from the water flow sensor.
The PCB shuts the main solenoid valve and change-over solenoid valves and the burner extinguishes.
