Care of your iHeat

Your iHeat system needs very little maintenance, however the following information will keep it 
working efficiently.

Cleaning the return air filter

Your iHeat system has a large 
return air grille through which air  
is returned to the iHeat for 
reheating. The return air grille 
contains a filter that traps dust 
and other particles from the air. 
This needs to be cleaned regularly 
(every 2-4 weeks). If this is not 
done you may notice increased 
noise at the return air grille.

To clean the return air filter:

1.  Remove filter from return air 

grille housing. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2.  Clean any dust or debris from 

both sides of the filter using 
a vacuum cleaner, a soft dry 
cloth, or a soft brush. Do this 
on a flat surface to stop the 
frame from bending out of 
shape. 

3.  If required, wipe down the 

return air grille using a damp 
cloth. 

4.  Return the filter to the return 

air grille and secure the grille 
in place.

Cleaning the Rinnai Infinity 
water filter

Cleaning the Infinity 
water filter will reduce the 
likelihood of blockages 
to the water heater which 
could cause insufficient 
water flow to the iHeat. 

It is recommended the water filter 
is cleaned every year. This would 
normally be completed by a Rinnai 
Service Centre as part of annual 
servicing, but could be needed 
inbetween times if you experience 
any problems with insufficient 
water flow to the pump.

To avoid burns wait until 
the water heater cools 
before cleaning the water 

filter as hot water may drain from 
the unit if there has been recent 
hot water use. Turn off the gas and 
power to the Infinity.

1.  Unscrew the water filter from 

the position marked in the 
diagrams below.

2.  Flush the filter using clean 

water. 

3.  Replace the water filter. 

4.  Turn on the gas and power to 

the unit.

Maintenance and servicing

Rinnai has a 
maintenance, 
service, and spare 
parts network with

and select option one for a service 
centre in your area.

For reliable operation the Rinnai 
iHeat and Rinnai Infinity unit 
should be serviced annually. 
Regular maintenance and servicing 
is not covered by the Rinnai

work on your system other than 
that mentioned in this guide. If 
you have any faults or problems, 
contact your installer, or call 
Rinnai.
