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. Please quote the code displayed when enquiring about service. Some of these remedies can not be checked by the user because they require the front to be taken off of the unit. They are included so that you can give the information to the gas engineer.

*In all cases, you may be able to clear the Error code by turning the hot water tap OFF, then ON again. If this does not clear the error, try pushing the On/Off button OFF then ON again. If the Error Code still remains contact Rinnai or your nearest service agent for advice.
**Faults caused by insufficient gas/water supply or gas/water quality and installation errors are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Regular maintenance should be performed by a competent person in accordance with the local regulations at least once annually.
