Energysaver Operation & Installation Manual

SAFETY DEVICES

Overheat Switch:

This device automatically shuts the gas supply off if the heater exceeds a predetermined temperature.

This is normally caused by an obstruction in front of the louvres, or a blocked fan filter.
If the overheat switch operates, turn the unit ‘OFF’, remove the obstruction (clean filters) and allow the unit cool off
for 10-15 minutes before re-operating.

Fusible Links:

The fusible link activates under conditions of severe overheating and shuts off the gas supply.
A service call will be required to repair the appliance.

Flame Failure Device:

If the flame goes out during operation this device shuts off gas to the burner. To reset, turn the unit ‘OFF’, then ‘ON’
again. If this happens repeatedly a service call is required.

Electrical Fuse:

The electrical circuits are protected by an electric fuse. When the fuse blows, the heater will not operate. The fuse
must be replaced by an authorised person.

Power Failure:

In the event of a power failure or power cut, the gas valves will automatically close. After the power is re-instated the
appliance will automatically re-start. The time of day will need to be reset to the correct current time (refer “Setting the
Clock/Timers” on page 12).

Rinnai has a nation wide service and spare parts network. Our service network personnel are fully trained and
equipped to give the best service on your Rinnai appliance. If your appliance needs servicing, please refer to the back
page of this manual for contact details.
