1. Stop the boiler and gas immediately. Open all the windows and doors. 
2. Do not try to light any appliances. It may cause an explosion.
3. Contact Gas Supplier. 
    Periodically check your gas valve using soap bubbles to ensure that there is no 
    gas leakage.  

1. Is the air inlet/exhaust blocked? 
2. Is the air inlet/exhaust pipe not 
    connected or bended? 

1. Stop the boiler immediately. 
2. Contact the Rinnai service for maintenance. 

1. Plug into the outlet with the correct voltage. 
2. Check the set temperature and the current temperature. 
3. Turn off the boiler and then, turn it on again. If the same 
    condition is repeated, contact the Rinnai service. 
4. Open the gas supply valve. 

1. Fasten the screws. 
2. Contact the Rinnai service for maintenance. 
3. Open the manual air drain point, which is on the upper 
    side of the allotter, to remove air.    

1. Is there power to the boiler? 
2. Is the set temperature lower than
    the current temperature? 
3. Is [11] shown on the display? 
4. Is there gas supply to the boiler? 

1. Is the boiler well attached to the wall? 
2. Is the noise from the air inlet/exhaust pipe? 
3. Is the sound of water flowing inside 
   of the pipes too loud? 

1. Adjust the hot water temperature. 
2. When the hot water is used for multiple 
    places at once, the volume of the hot water 
    would decrease. 
3.Adjust the amount of cold water to be mixed.

1. Is the DHW mode on? 
2. Is there water Supply to the boiler? 
3. Is the water pressure too low? 
4. Is the water supply valve not 
    sufficiently opened? 
5. Is the water supply valve for cold 
    water too opened? 

1. Is hot water temp set too low?
2. Is hot water used in seueral place?
3. Is cold water mixed too much?

1. Press the DHW mode button. 
2. Wait till the water supply is back, or open the 
    water supply valve. 
3. If the volume of water is 2.3L or less per minute 
   due to low water pressure, it is not possible to 
   activate the DHW mode. Request the
   installation of a pressure device. 
4. Open the water supply valve to reach at least
    2.3L per minute. 
5. Check the amount of cold water to be mixed. 

1. Is the CH mode on? 
2. Is the set heating temperature too low? 
3. Is the reservation mode/Outgoing mode on? 
4. Is the hot water being used? 
5. Is the room heating valve of allotter closed? 
6. Is the remote controller on? 
7. Is the CH return filter blocked? 
8. Is air remained on the pipes? 

1. Press the CH mode button. 
2. Adjust the heating temperature. 
3. Adjust the  period, or cancel the outgoing mode.
4. CH mode does not operate while hot water is being 
    used. 
5. Open the room heating valve of allotter. 
6. Adjust the heating temperature for each room. 
7. Clean the CH return filter. 
8. Open the manual air drain point, which is on the upper 
    side of the allotter, to remove air.
