In case of defect parts only use genuine Rinnai components for replacement.
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.
