User Instructions - Rinnai REU-KM2035FFUD-E Installation And User Manual

The following instructions are designed for the user of the water heater. The user may not install or adjust the
appliance in any way that requires the removal of the front cover of the unit. To remove the front cover of the unit
you must be certified competent to do so. Information for the Installer is given from page 17.
All work done on this appliance must be done by a qualified gas engineer. A qualified gas engineer must
carry an up to date Gas Safe Registered Gas Installer photo identification card while working on gas
appliances. If you are unsure do not be afraid to ask the engineer to show you the card. If you are still not
satisfied call Gas Safe on 0800 408 5500 and verify the engineer's name with their database. This is for
your own safety.
Responsibilities of the USER
The user must abide by all warnings given in this book. The user must only reference the user section of the
book, and may not carry out any procedure listed in the installer section. This installation manual should be kept
with the appliance for maintenance and user information.
The user must have the unit checked and maintained annually by a gas engineer.
The user must periodically check the water filter on the inlet to the appliance.
The user must not use the appliance in any way that it was not meant to be used. The user may only use the
heater as detailed in the User portion of this manual.
Interference with a sealed component is not permitted. In case of defect parts only use genuine Rinnai
components for replacement.
Conversion to other gas types should only be carried out by a qualified installer or a gas distributor according to
the practice in the country where the unit is installed.
The user must not store or use any flammable vapours or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The user should familiarise themselves with the water heaters gas service valve and the main gas valve to the
premises.
ATTENTION: air surrounding the water heater, venting and vent termination(s) is used for combustion and must
be free of any compounds that cause corrosion of internal components. These include corrosive compounds that
are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, oil based paints/ varnishes, and
refrigerants. Therefore Rinnai recommends outdoor models be used for these locations where possible.
The water heater, venting and vent termination(s) should not be installed in any areas where the air may contain
these corrosive compounds. If it is necessary for a water heater to be located in areas which may contain
corrosive compounds, Rinnai strongly recommends the following:
Indoor/Internal Water Heaters:
* DO NOT install in areas where contaminated air is present
* Consider before installation where air has the ability to travel within the building
* Where possible, install the water heater in a sealed closet so that it is free of contaminated indoor air
* Chemicals that are corrosive in nature should not be stored or used near the water heater
Outdoor/External Water Heaters and Vent Terminations of Indoor/Internal Water Heaters:
* Install as far away as possible from exhaust vent hoods
* Install as far away as possible from air inlet vents. Corrosive fumes may be released through these vents when
air is not being brought in through them.
* Chemicals that are corrosive in nature should not be stored or used near the water heater or vent termination.
Damage and repair due to corrosive compounds in the air is not covered by warranty.
The exhaust outlet may change colour over time due to the condensate in the exhaust gases. This discoloration
does not damage the part or its form, fit or function.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing work in accordance with the
Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage and
promote the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more information.
Isolate the gas supply and get out of the building. Do not try to light any appliance. Do
not turn any light or other electrical switch on or off. Do not use any telephone in the
building. Call your gas engineer from a safe location and follow their instructions. If
you cannot reach your gas engineer ring the following: National Grid 0800 111 999
