F E A T U R E S O F Y O U R N E W WATER HEATER
? The Rinnai Water Heater 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 controller(s). Installation of remote controller(s)
are recommended for optimum performance.
? The Rinnai Water Heater never runs out of hot water. While electricity, water and gas
supplies are connected, the Rinnai Water Heater produces hot water 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 Rinnai Water Heater.
? 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 selected
temperature (shown on the digital remote control) the gas burner will automatically go
out. The gas burner will re-ignite once the outgoing hot water temperature falls below the
selected temperature.
? Built into the microprocessor of the Rinnai Water Heater is the ability to LIMIT THE
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied by the Rinnai Water Heaters.
Without the connection of a remote controller(s), the Rinnai Water Heater is preset to
deliver water at 104OF (Residential) and 140OF (Commercial).
? Residential Unit: With the remote controller(s) the water temperature is adjustable from
98 to 140OF. The water temperature cannot be set to a temperature other than
120OF without the use of a remote controller unit.
? Commercial Unit: With the remote controller the water temperature is adjustable up to
185OF. The water temperature cannot be set to a temperature other than 140OF
without the use of a remote controller unit.
? Error messages are displayed on the optional remote controller(s), simplifying service
calls.
? The Rinnai Water Heater incorporates a device to minimize temperature fl uctuations (cold
water sandwich effect) when the water is off, then on again. This effect can be eliminated
by installing the Rinnai Water Heaters with a circulation loop with a small storage tank.
? The sound (noise) level from the Rinnai Water Heaters is very low.
? The Rinnai Water Heater is a very compact direct vented device. It saves valuable fl oor
and wall space.

SAFETY ISSUES
Do not clean remote controller(s) with
solvents. Use a soft damp cloth.
The water temperature can only be adjusted
between 98°F and 110°F when the hot water
tap is open, and hot water is fl owing.
Always check water temperature by hand
before entering the shower or bath. The
temperature may have been changed.
Depending on the weather conditions and
the length of the pipe between the Rinnai
Water Heater and the tap in use, there may
be a variation between the temperatures
displayed at the remote controller(s) and the
temperature of the water at the tap.
The Rinnai Water Heater controls the water
temperature automatically. To do this, it
sometimes needs to change the water fl ow
accordingly. The water fl ow from the hot water
tap may vary after the selected temperature at
the remote controller(s) is altered. The water
fl ow may also vary from summer to winter, as
incoming water temperatures differ.
The vent/air intake should be positioned away
from fl ammable materials, trees, shrubs, etc.
Do not connect vent to natural draft vents
or fireplaces, this unit can only be used
with an approved Rinnai/Ubbink vent kit and
components. Do not vent unit into other
rooms. Vent terminal must be outside.

ABOUT HOT WATER
Hot Water Is Dangerous, especially for the young and the elderly or
the infi rm. The Rinnai Water Heater allows you to precisely control the
temperature 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 fi rst 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 infi rm 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.

CONTROLLERS SET PATTERN/TEMPERATURE TABLES
Temperature controllers allows precise temperature control by the user. When used correctly,
the hot water unit will deliver the selected temperature, even when the water fl ow is varied,
or more than one tap is in use. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed,
however the water heater unit can only deliver one set temperature at any time. The available
temperatures (OF) are as follows:
Suggested temperatures are:
Kitchen 120OF - 130OF, Shower 98OF - 110OF, Bath fi ll 102OF - 114OF
These temperatures are suggestions only. You may fi nd higher or lower temperatures more comfort-
able. Maintaining lower temperatures helps save energy. To obtain water temperatures lower than
98OF, simply add cold water.
Deluxe Controllers are an optional extra. ‘Controller’ and ‘Deluxe’ Controllers can be installed togeth-
er. Controllers allow temperature selection only. ‘Deluxe’ Controllers have temperature selection, bath
fi ll and clock functions.
Controllers allow the water temperature to be set from the various locations where they are
installed. The temperature selected will be available to all outlets. Below are the combination of
Controllers that are offered by Rinnai:
**See controller manual in controller carton box for more infomation detail.
