About your Rinnai Boil & Brew

The Rinnai Boil & Brew is a permanently
plumbed, wall-mounted electric water heater
with an insulated hot water container. Water
is heated by an electric heating element and
the temperature is controlled by a thermostat.
As boiling water is drawn off, the unit refills
with cold water. Any steam generated during
the heating cycle is condensed and retained
within the unit.

The easy to use lever tap is positioned far
enough away from the spout to ensure
steam-free handling. The spout is designed to
minimise splashing when dispensing water.

Automatic reheating

Once installed the filling and heating cycle is
completely automatic.

To use

Place a cup under the outlet spout and pull
the tap handle down. The tap handle is spring
loaded, when released it will spring back to
the off position.

Similarly, if left unused it is possible that some
scale residue will collect in the outlet tap. This
will cause the outlet water to appear milky for
a short while. If this occurs it is recommended
that the first few cups are drawn off and
discarded.

Areas prone to freezing

Care must be taken to prevent the unit
freezing. If thought to be frozen it must not be
switched on. It must be left to thaw and must
be inspected to ensure it is undamaged before
use.

Installation by a licensed tradesperson

Only a licensed tradesperson can install,
adjust, maintain, and service the Rinnai Boil &
Brew. Any work carried out by a non-licensed
tradesperson is illegal and will void any
warranty.

If for some reason you need to dispense a
large volume of water or empty the unit the
tap handle can be pulled up and locked into a
continuous flow position.

Switching off

If not connected to a timer we suggest
switching the unit off if not being used for a
period of time, for example over a weekend.

When not in use

If the unit has been switched off for a long
period of time (for example, for over a week)
it is advisable to draw off the water in the unit.
This will ensure freshly boiled water, not stale
water, is used to make your drinks.

Safety

Front cover

Do not remove the front cover as this will
expose 230 V wiring and must only be
removed by an authorised person.

Damaged components

If any component is damaged it must be
replaced by an authorised person using Rinnai
replacement parts.

Hot water

The water dispensed will at times be boiling
or close to boiling, due caution must be taken
when using the system.

Child supervision

Children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with any part of the hot water
system.

Supply cord for the 5, 10, and 15 L units

If the supply cord is damaged it must be
replaced by a licensed tradesperson in order
to avoid a hazard. This must be a genuine
replacement part available from Rinnai.

Safety devices

The Rinnai Boil & Brew is fitted with the
following safety devices:

• Automatic thermostat to maintain water
temperature

• Temperature override cutout for heating
element

• Water level control (ball cock)

• Water overflow protection

Do not operate the system unless all of the
safety devices are fitted and working Do not
tamper or remove any of these devices.

Maintenance

The usage of the unit will determine the
quantity of scale build up.

Hot water systems, like cars, require regular
maintenance and servicing. To ensure
longevity and optimum performance of your
unit we recommend annual inspection and
servicing.

The front cover and spout will require a
periodic wipe to clean any marks/splashes
from use.

Rinnai has a maintenance,
service and spare parts
network with personnel who
are fully trained and equipped
to give you the best advice on
your Rinnai product. Regular
maintenance and servicing is
not covered by the Rinnai warranty.
