ABOUT THIS APPLIANCE
This appliance combines both a Rinnai continuous flow gas water heater and a Rinnai Smartstart
"Preheat" system.
When the Smartstart "Preheat" function is activated and used in accordance with these instructions,
water in the pipework connected between the water heater and the hot water outlets in your house is
warmed before any outlets are opened. This results in water savings and added convenience.
The preheat function of this appliance works as follows:
1.
Before hot water is required, the user activates the preheat function by pressing "preheat" button
on the temperature controller.
2.
This switches on the integral pump.
3.
Water flows from the pump and passes through the water heater. This in turn activates the water
heater burner and water in the flow and return heating loop begins to heat.
4.
When preheat control module senses that the water in the full length of the flow and return
heating loop has been heated, the pump and water heater stop operating.
5.
The user opens the desired hot water outlet. Preheated water will be delivered from the flow and
return heating loop to the outlet.
This appliance requires the cold supply and heated pipework associated with conventional water
heater. In addition, flow and return or heating loop pipework in the building is also required and
requires connecting to this appliance.
