Rinnai Infinity N1600i Operation And Installation Manual page 11

Water temperature over 50°C can cause severe burns instantly or even
death from scalding. 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 .
Do not store flammable objects near the appliance: it could cause a product
failure or fire. Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it
is in operation.
Check that the appliance is supplied with the correct gas type and pressure
according to the data plate: ensure that the gas in use matches with the gas
indicated on the data plate. If not, there could be incomplete burning of the
gas, resulting in toxic emissions and/or product failure.
Do not insert objects into the flue outlet. Do not spray water directly into the
flue outlet. Keep, trees, shrubs, etc. well clear of the flue outlet. On colder
days steam may discharged from the flue outlet. This condition is normal for
high efficiency appliances and does not indicate a fault.
Do not touch the unit cover or the flue outlet.
Check the main gas valve to make sure it is opened before using the
appliance and check the gas pressure is correct.
Rigid pipework is recommended for gas and water supply: rubber hose might
get damaged.
Isolation valves should be installed on the gas and water pipes to allow for
easier maintenance and to increase safety in case of emergency.
Check the voltage at the power outlet to make sure it is within the appropriate
range before use. Ensure the electrical system is provided with an appropriate
grounding, otherwise the appliance could be severely damaged or operate
improperly.
The extension of the power cord should be avoided (e.g. using an extension
cord or a multiple socket). If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
Prior to use after installation or if the appliance has not been used for a long time let the hot water flow for a while
before using.
It is recommended the installation of a system to collect and drain water under the appliance in the case of water
leakage to prevent material and property damages.
Frost protection: Make sure that the power cord of the appliance is
plugged-in and the electrical power is always available.
The frost protection system activates only when the appliance is electrically
powered and switched ON.
All pipes must be wrapped with insulating materials to prevent heat loss. The
thickness of insulation should be between 25mm and 50mm according to
outdoor temperatures. Trace Heating could be installed to protect pipework
subjected to extreme cold or wind chill conditions. Trace Heating use is
recommended if the case of temperature drops below -20°C.
If extremely freezing conditions are expected, turn off water and gas, and
drain all water from the appliance. If power and the automatic frost protection
are connected, freezing will be prevented. (Anti-frost protection is fitted as
standard equipment on all hot water units)
If water pipes are frozen, there would not be water flow in the system. Use a
heat source (e.g. hair dryer) to unfreeze the frozen components and pipes.
Before using the appliance after defrosting contact the Rinnai service to
verify possible damages.
