11. HEATER FINISH AND APPEARANCE
All models are constructed with a marine grade stainless steel enclosure cabinet, with option-
al finish of stainless steel, or high temperature black coating.
Stainless Steel Enclosure Heater: ALL stainless steel heaters will discolor or stain to some
extent due to the impact of heat. This is a normal occurrence and does not effect heater per-
formance or the warranty of components.
High Temperature Coating Finish Heater: Exterior heater surfaces, including any stainless
steel components, are coated with a black high emissive coating that helps preserve the aes-
thetic appearance of the heater and improves the radiant heat output.
Handle the heater with care during installation and service to avoid scratching or damaging
the finish.
With extended use, the finish coat will discolor and deteriorate to some extent due to the im-
pact of heat, the deposit of ambient air born particles, and environmental factors.
These are normal occurrences caused by heat, products of combustion, and the environment,
and in no way affect the operation / performance of the heater or Rinnai's warranty.
OCCASIONAL PAINT FINISH MAINTENANCE:
Wear protective gloves, eyewear, and breathing mask. Ensure that power to the heater is dis-
connected prior to maintenance and the application of any finish coating. Use a fine steel
wool to remove blemishes or unsightly deposit, and smooth the outer surface. The heater fin-
ish coat can be touched up using a high temperature coating such as Thurmalox Stove Paint -
Flat Black-1200°F (650°C) or similar high temperature stove paint that is compatible with the
original finish. No other coating or non-high-temperature paint finish may be applied to
the heater – use of an incompatible finish coating will create a hazardous condition
such as fire or noxious fumes, damage the heater, and void the warranty.
Apply the touch up finish with the heater in its operating orientation (facing down). Ensure that
overspray does not reach or effect the egg crate grilles and the burner tile surface - mask the
heater grilles during any re-finishing. Remove the masking immediately after re-finish and pri-
or to operation of the heater.
