Check that the isolating switch marked "HOT WATER" or "WATER HEATER" at the
meter box is switched on. Check also that any isolating switches installed near the
water heater are switched on.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker marked "HOT WATER" or "WATER HEATER" at
the meter box. Repeated failure of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker indicates a fault
which must be investigated by an authorised trades person.
Check gas is available and turned 'ON'.
Check the isolation valve in the gas line is opened.
Refer to your plumber to ensure the gas line has been purged of air after installation.
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 capacity of
the hot water system, it is likely that there will be insufficient hot water. Have your
plumber install water saving fixtures and/or flow control or pressure limiting valves to
reduce consumption.
Check the temperature of hot water delivered with a thermometer placed under the
closest outlet (usually the kitchen sink) on a non-tempered hot water line.
The temperature of the water delivered should be at least 55°C (allowing for heat
losses in pipe work).
If this is not the case, the temperature may need to be increased. Contact your
installer or Rinnai to discuss adjusting the temperature.
Restriction in the hot tap or failure of the cold water supply to the heater.
Check for water flow at the other hot taps and that the cold water isolation valve is
fully open.
Refer to fault finding section of this manual.
Isolate and remove the water filter at the cold water connection point. Refer to
separate manual for the gas continuous flow water heater operation.
