The pressure and temperature relief valve and expansion control valve (if fitted) must be replaced by an authorised
person at intervals not exceeding 5 years or more frequently in areas where the water is classified as scaling water.
If the power supply cord to the heat pump unit is damaged, they must be replaced by an authorised person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Use the following guide to avoid the need for an unnecessary service call.

Check to ensure the electric isolating switch at the switchboard (usually
marked "Hot water" or "Water heater" is turned on. (note that the
compressor will not start up for 2 minutes after power is turned on).
Often end users are surprised at the amount of hot water used, especially
when showering. If the amount of hot water used during the day exceeds
the storage capacity of the cylinder, it is likely there will be insufficient hot
water.
It is normal and desirable that this valve allows a small quantity of water
to be discharged during the heating cycle. If it discharges more than a
bucket of water during a 24 hour period or discharges continuously there
may be another problem.
If the valve dribbles continuously, try easing the valve gear for a few
seconds as described in the section 'Excessive Discharge from Safety
Devices' on page 8. This may dislodge any foreign matter and alleviate
the problem.
If the valve discharges at high flows, especially at night, it may be as a
result of the water pressure exceeding the design pressure of the water
heater. Ask your installer to fit a Pressure Limiting Valve (PLV).
It is normal and desirable that this valve allows a small quantity of water
to be discharged during the heating cycle. If it discharges more than a
bucket of water during a 24 hour period or discharges continuously there
may be another problem.
If the valve leaks continuously, try easing the valve gear for a few seconds
as described in the section 'Excessive Discharge from Safety Devices'
on page 8. This may dislodge any foreign matter and alleviate the
problem. If this does not alleviate the problem contact Rinnai.
To protect the components of the heat pump unit it may not operate when
the ambient temperature is higher than 45°C. The heating element will
operate if water heating is required, but may take longer to heat the water.
To protect the components of the heat pump unit it may not operate when
the ambient temperature is less than -1°C. The heating element will
operate if water heating is required, but may take longer to heat the water.
Check for water flow at the other taps and that the cold water isolation
valve is fully open.
