Gas Connection Check pipe sizing required for the heater input. The heat input for the Infinity 32e and HD70e is 69 kW. Refer to BS6891 (Natural Gas) and BS5482 (Propane) for guidance on correct pipe sizing calculation. Check that the size of the gas meter and pipework will be sufficient for all appliances on the main.

Congratulations on purchasing the Technologically Advanced, Temperature Controlled, Rinnai Hot Water System. The Rinnai Infinity 32e and HD70e NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. As long as • electricity, water, and gas supplies are connected, hot water is available when hot water taps are open.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young children and the infirm. The water heater allows you to control the temperature of your hot water to safe levels. Do stay with children whenever they are in the bathroom.
Page 13
Refer to warning about hot water on page 12 for important safety information. The Infinity 32e and HD70e control the water temperature automatically. For high temperatures it may reduce the flow. The water from the hot tap may be reduced after the temperature shown on the remote control is raised.
Cables are simply ‘piggy-backed’ at the water heater or at the primary temperature controller. Polarity is not important when connecting the cables, either colour wire can be connected to either terminal at both the heater or primary temperature controller.

To obtain water temperatures lower than 37 C simply add cold water. Up to four controllers can be used for one Infinity 32e or HD70e. When multiple temperature controllers are used they allow the temperature to be set from various locations by pushing the transfer button which gives that controller priority over the system.
Remote temperature controllers are a feature that provides control over the water temperature. Rinnai Infinity and HD water heaters can be operated with 1, 2, 3, 4 or no temperature controllers. The Universal controller MC-91-1A comes as standard with all Infinity water heaters.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using 1 Universal Temperature Controller. Press the On/Off button on the temperature controller. The ON indicator will glow on the Temperature This indicates that the heater is ready to supply when a tap is opened. Adjusting Temperature Simply press the Hot Water Temperature Up or Down arrow button until the desired temperature is displayed on the digital display.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING 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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using 4 Universal Temperature Controllers. You will need to activate the fourth controller. STEP 1: On the Master controller press and hold the Transfer and On/Off buttons simultaneously (see fig 2.) until a “beep” is heard (approx. 5 seconds) Check that the display on all Four controllers is lit STEP 2: and displaying a temperature when switched on.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using High Temperature Display Controllers. You will need to program the Master controller if you want to display and use temperatures over 50 controllers; other universal controllers will not allow this, and Deluxe Kitchen Controllers are supplied already programmed to allow high temperatures. Temperatures in bathrooms should never exceed 50 STEP 1: On the Master controller only press and hold the Transfer and On/Off...

The on indicator will go out. If hot water taps are opened when the Rinnai Infinity 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.

(or turned OFF) (or turned ON again) Temperature priority can not be switched to another controller when the water is flowing through the water heater. Controller 1 in use Do not clean the remote control with solvents or detergents. Use only a soft damp cloth.
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.
GAS PRESSURE SETTING The working gas pressure on the water heater is electronically controlled and factory set. Under normal circumstances it does not require adjustment during installation. Perform this procedure only if the unit is not operating correctly and all other possible causes for incorrect operation have been eliminated.

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 if you have temperature controllers installed. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call.
