pressures are also factory preset. Under
normal conditions the operating pressures do
not require adjustment during installation. Make
adjustments ONLY if the unit is not operating
correctly and all other possible causes for
incorrect operation have been eliminated.
Inlet supply pressure to the appliance MUST
BE checked and set within the operating
parameters of the appliance in all instances.
If the appliance can not be adjusted to perform
correctly call 0800 RINNAI (0800 746 624) for

If the pressure is lower, the gas supply is inadequate and the appliance will not
operated to specification. It is the installer's responsibility to check the gas meter,
service regulator and pipe work for correct operation and sizing, and rectify as
required.
