The Rinnai is one of the most advanced water heaters available. It supplies hot water

continuously at the temperature preset in the unit or at the temperature set on the optional remote controller(s). Installation of remote controllers are recommended for optimum functionality.
The Rinnai never runs out of hot water, while electricity, water and gas supplies are
connected. The Rinnai produces hot water whenever the hot water tap is open.
The gas burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened and shuts off when
the tap is closed. Ignition is electronic, there is no pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is used, you save energy and money with the Rinnai.
The temperature of the outgoing hot water is constantly monitored by a built in sensor.
If the temperature of the outgoing water rises to more than 6 temperature (shown on the digital remote controller) the gas burner automatically shuts off. The gas burner will re-ignite once the outgoing hot water temperature falls below the selected temperature.

Always check water temperature by hand before entering the shower or bath. The temperature may have been changed.
The Rinnai Water Heater controls the water temperature automatically. To do this, it sometimes needs to change the water flow accordingly. The water flow from the hot water tap may vary after the selected temperature at the remote controller(s) is altered. The water flow may also vary from summer to winter, as incoming water temperatures differ.
Depending on the weather conditions and the length of the pipe between the Rinnai Water Heater and the tap in use, there may be a variation between the temperatures displayed at the Remote Controller(s) and the temperature of the water at the tap.
Do not clean Remote Controller(s) with solvents. Use a soft damp cloth.
Summer 60°F Incoming water
The water temperature can only be adjusted between 98°F and 110°F when the hot water tap is open, and hot water is flowing.

Winter 40°F Incoming water
The vent/air intake should be positioned away from flammable materials, trees, shrubs, etc.
Do not connect the vent to natural draft vents or fireplaces, the indoor unit can only be used with an approved vent kit and components. Do not vent unit into other rooms. The Vent termination must be located outside.
