Consideraon of care for your water heater should
include evaluaon of water quality.
The water must be potable, free of corrosive
chemicals, sand, dirt, or other contaminates. It is up
to the installer to ensure the water does not contain
corrosive chemicals, or elements that can aect or
damage the heat exchanger. Water that contains
chemicals exceeding the levels below aect and
damage the heat exchanger. Replacement of the
heat exchanger due to water quality damage is not
covered by the warranty.

You must ensure that clearances will be met.
Consider the installaon environment, water quality,
and need for freeze protecon. Requirements for the
gas line, water lines, electrical connecon, and
• Should overheang occur or the gas supply fail to
shut o, turn o the manual gas control valve to
the appliance.
(En cas de surchaue ou si l’alimentaon en gaz ne
s’arrête pas, fermez manuellement le robinet
d’arrêt de l’admission de gaz).
• Keep the air intake locaon free of chemicals such
as chlorine or bleach that produce fumes. These
fumes can damage components and reduce the
life of your appliance.

If you install this water heater in an area that is
known to have hard water or that causes scale build-
up the water must be treated and/or the heat
exchanger ushed regularly.
When scale build-up in the heat exchanger begins to
aect the performance of the water heater, a
diagnosc code “LC#” will display. Flush the heat
exchanger to prevent damage to it. Scale build up is
caused by hard water set at a high temperature.
Rinnai oers Southeastern Filtraon’s “ScaleCuer
Water Condioning System” that oers superior lime
scale prevenon and corrosion control by feeding a
blend of control compounds into the cold water
supply.
