Features and Benefits • When sized correctly, the ENERGYSAVER® Furnace can be used as a whole house/primary heat source • Easy Control and Operation • One-touch ignition • Programmable thermostat with a temperature range between 55°F to 95°F (13°C to 35°C) • During normal operation, the display will dim to save power • Display available in Fahrenheit or Celsius • Setback and Frost Protection allows a minimum temperature to be maintained even when off or between scheduled heating events • Adjustable maximum
Safety Features • Self Diagnostic Circuitry-Should the ENERGYSAVER® detect an unsafe operating condition, the unit will shut down and a fault code will display indicating the specific issue.
ENERGYSAVER® Sizing To ensure the ENERGYSAVER operates as designed, an industry standard Btu heat loss calculation must be performed on the area to be heated • This calculation considers all factors that contribute to heat loss such as: • Area and volume of the space to be heated • Geographical location and climate where the furnace will be located • Structural characteristics of the building such as number of windows, exterior doors, construction material, etc • The Air Conditioning Contractors’ Associat
ENERGYSAVER®—Whole House Furnaces Key concepts The ENERGYSAVER has the ability to heat an entire structure from a central room.
ENERGYSAVER®—Whole House Furnaces Key concepts • Variable speed technology – Modulating gas and air based on the heat loss at that moment • With on/off single stage operation, gas usage can be high due to alternating periods between maximum flame and no flame at all • The Energysaver’s modulating technology has the ability to replace only the heat escaping the structure by continuously operating at heating levels based on the demand at that moment On / Off Single Stage Heating Appliance Continuous-Run Mo
ENERGYSAVER® Direct Vent Furnaces Operation Sequence 1. Combustion fan purges heat chamber, PCB verifies fan rotation Concentric Termination Convection Fan 2. Ignition spark begins 3. When sensing electrode detects spark, gas valve assembly opens 4. Ignition occurs and heat exchanger warms 5. Spark stops as flame rod & PCB verify flame 6. When heat exchanger is warm enough, convection room blower circulates warm air into the structure. Flame Rod Combustion Fan Heat Exchanger 7.

Economy Function Economy Mode is designed to save gas usage over time. • The Economy Function is based on the theory that the human body cannot detect small temperature changes over an extended period of time • 30 minutes after the set point temperature is achieved, the unit will reduce the temperature by 2°F. After 30 additional minutes, the unit will reduce the temperature an additional 2°F.
Clock, Timer, and Setback Functions (C-Series) C-Series ENERGYSAVERS® have two primary methods of operation • Exclusively as a thermostatically controlled furnace • When left to operate on a continuous-run basis using feedback from its thermostat, the ENERGYSAVER will achieve an optimum balance between comfort and efficiency • As a programmable furnace with two separate timers and a setback function • The timers allow two separate heating events to be set • Timer 1 and Timer 2 (individually or both as neede
Clock, Timer, and Setback Functions (C-Series) Setback allows a minimum temperature to be pre-set and maintained between timer events or while the unit is turned off • This feature’s primary function is to slightly reduce the temperature (and gas usage) during extended periods of nonuse or inactivity—such as sleeping or when the home is empty • NOTE: When this feature is used as a setback function for energy savings, it is not advisable to reduce setback more than 4-6°F from the regular set point.
Restart Features All ES, EX, and C-Series models will attempt restart after a power failure or flame failure to ensure heating is not interrupted for extended periods of time • If there is a power failure while the appliance is operating, the unit will attempt to restart automatically when the power is restored • The timers will retain their settings after a power outage • After an outage, the clock will retain the time at that moment until power resumes.
Fault Codes • A fault code will flash on the unit when a fault occurs. The unit will stop operating. • Operation intervention is required for all codes EXCEPT a code 11.
Warranty and Maintenance • Warranty Rinnai ENERGYSAVER® Furnace Warranty Heat Exchanger Coverage Parts Reasonable Labor 10 years 5 years 2 years Refer to each model’s installation and owner manual for full warranty details • Maintenance and Service • The appliance should be inspected at least annually by a qualified service technician—see the installation manual for full details • The exterior can be cleaned with a damp, warm cloth • Ensure the vent termination is kept free of snow, ice, or any other
