If water pipes are frozen, there would not be water flow in the system. Use a heat source (e.g. hair dryer) to unfreeze the frozen components and pipes. Before using the appliance after defrosting contact the Rinnai service to verify possible damages.
1.3.2 OPERATION WITHOUT WATER CONTROLLERS Rinnai continuous flow water heater products do not use a pilot light. When installed and operated, the opening of any hot water tap will automatically start the appliance. Once water is flowing through the appliance the burner will be ignited by electronic ignition.
Universal water controllers allow temperature selection. Deluxe water controllers allow temperature selection, have a clock function and, Deluxe Bathroom water controllers, have a shower saver/bath fill function. Contact the authorised Rinnai service company for further information regarding Deluxe water controllers. 1.3.4 WATER CONTROLLER COMBINATIONS & CONFIGURATIONS A maximum of 4 water controllers can be fitted.
1.3.5 UNIVERSAL WATER CONTROLLER (MC-601) OPERATION WATER HEATER 'IN USE' INDICATOR Indicates that a water heater is delivering hot water. DIGITAL MONITOR Indicates the temperature selected. Error messages flash in event of a fault. TEMPERATURE CONTROL BUTTONS CONTROLLER PRIORITY INDICATOR Used to select water temperature.

Loc function To prevent tampering and increase the safety level of the product, especially for children, it is possible to lock the control panel. To lock the panel it is necessary to press, and keep pressed for about five seconds, the ‘Priority’ keys and the key to increase the temperature (up arrow) (Fig.1).
1.4TROUBLESHOOTING Rinnai continuous flow water heaters have a self diagnostic capability. If a fault occurs, an error code will flash on the digital monitor of your water controllers. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call.

To operate the water heater temporarily until the heat exchanger LC1... history, “00” is can be flushed, push the On/Off button on the temperature controller 5 substituted for“LC”) times. Repeated LC codes will eventually lockout the water heater. Please call the authorised Rinnai service company.
1.4.2 TROUBLESHOOTING WITHOUT WATER CONTROLLERS If you have not installed temperature controllers and experience the following symptoms, please carry out the suggestions below or check status monitor and remdy of 1.4.1. If symptoms continue, please contact Rinnai for advice. Description Remedy Check the power is on at the unit.
2.INSTALLER’SINSTRUCTIONS The following section provides specific instructions for proper installation of the product. This section is intended for the use by qualified technical personnel.
For installations where the distance between the water heater and the outlets is considerable, a flow and return system or the ‘circulation kit’ Rinnai system can be used to minimise the waiting time for hot water delivery.
Prior to use make sure that the water heater is set up for the correct type of gas and that the appliance is intact. If the appliance is clearly damaged or you have doubts do not install the water heater and contact your supplier or Rinnai immediately for further information. 2.3DIMENSIONS...

The unit will operate at lower supply pressures but the maximum flow rate may not be achieved. Most installations will use high temperature setpoints which will reduce the available flow rate and heat exchanger pressure drop, and therefore less pressure will be required at the inlet. Contact Rinnai or your supplier for further instruction.
2.6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Connect the appliance to a 230V ±10% / 50Hz power supply. Do not use water or gas lines to ground the system. Ground The electric safety is guaranteed only when the appliance is properly grounded Ground and the grounding system has been realized following all the safety prescriptions provided for by law.
Up to TWO deluxe bathroom water controllers can be installed. ● The FOURTH water controller in any installation must be an universal water controller. For more information regarding deluxe kitchen and bathroom water controllers, contact the authorised Rinnai service company.

It is not recommended to install the communication cable near by house electric cables: interfearence may easily happen causing system malfunctions. In these cases we recommend to use proper shieldied cables. When connecting the cables to water controller or heater the polarity is not important: either colour wire can be connected to either terminal.
