The user must not use the appliance in any way that it was not meant to be used. The user may only use the heater as detailed in the User portion of this manual. Interference with a sealed component is not permitted. In case of defect parts only use genuine Rinnai components for replacement.
IGNITION IS ELECTRONIC, so there is no pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is used. The Rinnai 32 litres models water heaters have a built in Status Monitor on the front of the unit to display error codes and run condition.
Do make sure that the tap is turned off tightly. Consider reducing the tempera- • ture of the water supplied to the Do consider setting your Rinnai Water hot tap to 50°C. Heater at a maximum temperature of 50°C. This approach can be extremely •...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Always check water temperature before use. Hot water may go cold without warning at very low water flows (less than 3 l/min). OFF! Refer to warning about hot water on page 6 for important safety information. If freezing temperatures are expected, turn off The delivered water temperature is controlled automatically.
OPERATION WITHOUT REMOTES Rinnai products have no pilot light and operate automatically as soon as water flow is sensed. The burner ignites with electronic ignition and the flame extinguishes as soon as water flowing through the appliance stops. Turn On by opening the hot water tap...
Controllers. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed. Up to four universal can be fitted with Rinnai water heaters. Universal Controllers allow temperature selection only and one comes as standard with the water heater. Deluxe Temperature Controllers are available as an optional extra.
Page 10
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS Remote temperature controllers provide control over the water temperature. Rinnai water heaters can be operated with 1, 2, 3, 4 or no temperature controllers. Each time a button is pressed, a BEEP will sound. The BEEP sound can be muted by depressing the Temperature Controller Up and Down buttons simultaneously for more than 3 seconds.

The Digital Monitor will go out. If hot water taps are opened when the Rinnai is off, cold water will flow from the taps. If the system is to be left off over the winter be sure to drain it down if there is a possibility of freezing temperatures.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS Using 2 or more universal Temperature Controllers. Switching the system ON. The hot water system and all controllers can be switched ON and OFF from any controller by pressing the ON/OFF button as shown. When the system is turned ON the water temperature display will be lit. During normal operation the system is left ON.

ERROR MESSAGES Rinnai water heaters have the ability to check their own operation continuously. If a fault occurs, an error code will flash on the digital display (and on the Status Monitor) if you have temperature controllers installed. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call.
If following the above procedure does not reset the heater switch it on and off at its main supply, and then go through these steps again. If heater is still not working call your local service agent or Rinnai for...
This is to ensure continued safety of the gas appliance. If you need a recommended service engineer contact Rinnai or your supplier. For more detailed instructions on maintenance contact Rinnai or your supplier.
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly a fire or explosion could result. This manual must be read in its entirety before installing the ap- pliance. If you are unsure of any point contact Rinnai or your supplier.
Building Regulations G3 require installers of unvented systems to be competent to do so. Competence can be shown by holding a current certificate in Unvented Domestic Hot Water Systems. If the Rinnai is installed in a flow and return, or tank system, or any other closed system then the system is unvented.
HD range of heaters because they are commercial units. If you require controllers in commercial situations they are compatible with the HD range and available from Rinnai or your supplier. Check that the appliance supplied is the correct gas type and pressure for the installation.
MAIN COMPONENTS 1. Gas Control Unit 1.1 Modulating Valve This device is used by the PCB to adjust the volume of gas to the burner in proportion to the volumetric flow rate of water in order to maintain a supply of constant temperature hot water amid changes in water flow rates and incoming temperatures.
Rinnai can not be held responsible for any consequential water damage so it may be necessary to fit a drain pan under the unit.

See the pressure chart on page 48. Contact Rinnai or your supplier for 'gravity fed' or 'low pressure' hot water installations. Water pipe sizing and layout should be designed correctly to ensure the given water flows from the appliance are available.
UK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Water Connection For all closed systems (with flow and return or tank) the system must incorporate an unvented kit with the components shown below. The safety relieve valve must discharge safely into a suitable drain via a tundish.
Windows and doors can not be considered ventilation unless they are permanently fixed in the open position. Please refer to IGE/UP/10 Part 1. Edition 2 page 17; for further information or contact Rinnai UK. FLUE REQUIREMENTS The flue must be installed by a competent, authorised person. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the unit has been installed to all current local requirements.
Page 27
Installations with total equivalent length of flue >7m must alter the flue length Dip Switch (see page 36). Common Header (Cascade) Flues: do not connect this appliance into any common header flue, cas- cade system, or natural draught chimney. For information on these installations contact Rinnai. Condensate disposal internal models It is important that any condensate is kept away from the heat exchanger.
Page 28
FLUE REQUIREMENTS For the Internal range the flue system is considered part of the continuous flow water heater. The follow- ing flue type and make is approved in combination with above mentioned water heaters. Separate in- structions are provided with the flue detailing the installation of the flue parts.

UK FLUE REQUIREMENTS The Rinnai internal range are for internal installation in conjunction with the Rinnai flue system. The flue must be installed in accordance with: -Manufacturers Installation Instructions; -British Standards including BS5440; -Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations; -IGE/UP/10 Part1 Edition 2;...
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS General Information Commercial installations do not generally have controllers installed. These installations usually have one permanent set temperature that is constant at all times. The public should not have access to alter the temperature in these situations. These installations do not require controllers as the temperature can be set by a series of dip switches on the PCB.
Page 31
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS Universal temperature controller - MC-91 1. Determine the most suitable position for the temperature controller. 2. Drill 3 holes in the wall (Fig.1), one for the cable and two for the securing screws. Fit wall plugs if needed and ensure controller is level. 3.
EZ CONNECT EZ Connect Installation The EZ Connect allows the installation of two water heaters to be controlled by one remote controller without PAM valves or a MECS. The EZ Connect will sequence the heaters for low flows and rotate the lead heater for even use.
TESTING 1.Purge gas, hot water and cold water supply lines before making the final connection of the water heater. Swarf in either the gas or water supplies may cause damage. 2.Turn on gas and cold water supplies. 3.Test for water leaks and gas escapes near the unit. 4.Isolate gas and electric supply.
Contact Rinnai before attempting to alter the gas pressure if you are unsure of what to do. Incorrect adjustment can void the warranty.
