  • Page 11 Hot water at 60°C can severely burn a child in less than a second. At 50°C it takes five minutes. Always test the temperature of the water before any use. To prevent these risks, Rinnai recommends to consider setting your hot water production at a maximum temperature of 50°C when the water heater is used in a domestic premises .
  • Page 12: Operation

    1.3 OPERATION The Rinnai water heater is able to supply hot water at a constant temperature, making sudden changes that result from the simultaneous use of several users or from variations in the temperature of the cold water used to feed the appliance (pre-heated water from solar panels, etc).
  • Page 13: Selectable Temperatures

    The appliance is set at the factory to allow the selection of a maximum temperature of 50°C. This limit is generally more than adequate for most of the domestic uses, but it is possible to modify it according to your needs. A Rinnai specialised technician can modify the device electronics by modifying the maximum allowed temperature, bringing it to a higher value or limiting it further.
  • Page 14: Operation With Multiple Control Panels

    Adjusting temperature Select the desired temperature using the hot water temp buttons until the required temperature is displayed on the digital monitor. To operate the hot water unit, open any hot water tap: the appliance will control the temperature and turn on the burner only if it is necessary to heat it.
