This Appliance must be installed correctly by an authorised person. The installation of gas, water, and electricity must conform to local regulations.

The installation must also comply with the instructions supplied by Rinnai.

All dimensions referred to in these instructions are in millimetres, unless otherwise specified.

Please keep this instruction booklet in a safe place for future reference.

Notice to Victorian Consumers

This appliance must be installed by a person licensed with the Plumbing Industry Commission. Only a licensed person will have insurance protecting their workmanship.

So make sure you use a licensed person to install this appliance and ask for your Compliance Certificate. For Further information contact the Plumbing Industry Commission on 1800 015 129.

WARNING ABOUT HOT WATER

Heated water can be dangerous, especially for young children and the infirm.

Water temperatures above 50°C can cause severe burns instantly and may even result in death.

Those most at risk are children, disabled, elderly and the infirm.

Hot water at 65°C (a very common hot water temperature in

Australia) can severely burn a child in less than half a second.

At 50°C it takes five minutes.

ALWAYS......

Test the temperature of the water with your elbow before placing your child in the bath, also carefully feel water before bathing or showering yourself.

Supervise children whenever they are in the bathroom.

Make sure that the hot water tap is turned off tightly.

CONSIDER.....

Installing child proof tap covers or child resistant taps (both approaches will prevent a small hand being able to turn on the tap).

Setting your appliance at a maximum temperature of 50°C (Contact Rinnai Australia).

NEVER…..

Leave a toddler in the care of another child. They may not understand the need to have the water temperature set at a safe level.

Operation Manual

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Congratulations on purchasing the latest technology temperature controlled Rinnai continuous flow water heating system.

The Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater products NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. Whilst electricity, water and gas supplies are connected, hot water is available whenever hot water taps are open.

Built into the main micro-processor is the facility to LIMIT THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied. The water temperature may be limited to various values. This is particularly useful when the hot water unit is installed where young children or the infirm may be using the hot water.

The Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater products are power flued appliances. This makes them COMPACT, saving both floor and wall space.

The temperature of hot water is CONSTANTLY MONITORED by a BUILT-IN SENSOR. If the temperature of the hot water rises to more than 3°C above the selected temperature the burner is turned OFF and only turned ON again when the temperature falls below the selected temperature.

The burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and goes out when the tap is closed. IGNITION IS ELECTRONIC, so there is no pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is used.

The "Smartstart®" system when fitted can pre-heat the water in the pipe-work between the water heater and the hot water outlets. This results in water savings and reduces waiting time for heated water at the outlets.

'Deluxe' or 'Universal' Water Controllers are available as an optional extra. Depending on the models chosen, these offer the following features:

Bath fill function (Deluxe Bathroom Control Only).

Voice Prompting (Deluxe Control Only).

Clock (Deluxe Control Only).

Up to four water controllers can be fitted. See page 10 for details.

Water controller cables are connected easily by the end user using a convenient quick connect system.

Operating NOISE LEVEL IS VERY LOW.

ERROR MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED on the Water Controllers and Status Monitor*, assisting with service. *All models in the range covered by this manual have a “Status Monitor”, except B16, B20 & B26.

43°C

To clean your water controller(s) use a soft damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Do Not use solvents!

Whilst hot water outlets are open the set temperature may be lowered. However they cannot then be raised above 43°C. In addition transfer of 'priority' between controllers is not possible. These are safety features.

49°C

50°C

Depending on the weather conditions and the length of the pipe between the hot water unit and the outlet in use, there may be a variation between the temperatures displayed at the water controller(s) and the temperature of the water at the outlet.

Bathroom

Kitchen Kitchen

As a safety precaution, if a Kitchen Controller's temperature is set above 50°C, transferring and then returning 'priority' to the Kitchen Controller will result in a default set temperature of 50°C being selected. This is a safety feature.

There is no need to turn the water controller(s) off after use. However, if you prefer to turn the water controller(s) off, selected temperatures to a maximum of 50°C will be stored in the system memory at all times whilst mains power remains connected.

Do Not push the On/Off button on any Controller when the ‘Red’ water heater ‘In Use’ indicator is illuminated as this will turn off the water heater causing the water to go cold. Someone maybe in the middle of having a shower or filling a bath.

Operation Manual

GENERAL WATER CONTROL INFORMATION

Water controllers allow precise temperature control by the user. When used correctly, the hot water unit will deliver the selected temperature, even when the water flow is varied, or more than one tap is in use. Each water controller can be individually programmed, however the water heater can only deliver one set temperature at any time. The available temperatures (°C) are as follows:

Kitchen Controller:

37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 55*, 60*, 65* and 75°C*

Bathroom Controller:

Hot Water Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50°C Bath fill Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48°C

Whilst hot water outlets are open the set temperature may be lowered. However the set temperature cannot then be raised above 43°C. In addition, transfer of 'priority' between water controllers is not possible. These are safety features.

Suggested temperatures are:

Kitchen 50°C ~ 55°C* Shower 37°C ~ 43°C, Bath fill 39°C ~ 45°C

* Temperature may not be available refer to “Delivery Temperatures”.

These temperatures are suggestions only. You may find higher or lower temperatures more comfortable. Maintaining lower temperatures helps save energy. To obtain water temperatures lower than 37°C simply add cold water.

Water controllers are an optional extra. 'Universal' and 'Deluxe' water controllers can be fitted. Universal water controllers allow temperature selection only. Deluxe water controllers allow temperature selection, shower saver / bath fill and have a clock function.

Water controllers allow the water temperature to be set from the various locations where they are installed. The temperature selected will be available to all outlets.

Universal (MC-91Q) and Deluxe (MC/BC-100V) Water Controllers - available configurations:

 

A maximum of 4 water controllers can be fitted. Any combination of both deluxe and

 

universal controllers can be used with the following provisions:

All

Only ONE MC-100V water controller can be installed.

Models

Up to TWO BC-100V water controllers can be installed.

NOTE

Whilst hot water outlets are open the set temperature may be lowered. However they cannot then be raised above 43°C. In addition transfer of 'priority' between controllers is not possible. These are safety features.

Temperatures higher than 50ºC should not be able to be selected on controllers installed in bathrooms, ensuites or toilets. This is to help reduce the risk of burns from hot water. If this is not the case, the controllers have been incorrectly installed. CONTACT YOUR INSTALLER.

The temperature of outgoing hot water is constantly monitored by a built-in sensor. If the temperature of the outgoing hot water rises to more than 3°C above the selected temperature shown on the digital monitor or the pre-set limit when water controllers are not fitted, the burner will automatically go out. The ‘in use’ indicator will also go out. The burner will ignite again once the outgoing hot water temperature falls to that shown on the digital monitor (or the pre-set limit of the appliance).
