Continuous Flow Water Heater Operation Guide 04-12
About your water heater
Before using or operating your water heater ensure your installer talks to you about the
use and care of this appliance, and that you understand these instructions.
Installer
The installer also needs to complete:
-
their installer details (p. 20)
-
the commissioning checklist supplied with the appliance—verifies the water heater has been installed and
commissioned correctly
The installer needs to leave the checklist, and operation guide with you.
Important
The Rinnai Infinity water heater requires power to prevent damage in freezing conditions. DO NOT disconnect
the power if there is a likelihood of freezing without draining the water heater. Instructions for draining the water
heater can be found at the back of this guide.
Principle of operation
If no controllers are fitted the opening of any hot water tap will automatically start the appliance. Once water is
flowing through the appliance the burner will be ignited by electronic ignition. If a controller is fitted it must be
switched on for the appliance to heat the water
When the hot water tap is closed and water flowing through the appliance has stopped the burner flame will
extinguish.

In the event of a power failure
The water heater will not operate without electricity. If power fails water heating will cease. When power is
restored the water flow may need to be stopped and restarted (and a controller, if fitted, switched on) in order for
water heating to continue.
