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. Rinnai provides a “Scale Control
System” that oers superior lime scale prevenon and
corrosion control by feeding a blend of control
compounds into the water supply. Damage and repair
due to scale in the heat exchanger is not covered by
warranty.
Keep the air intake locaon free of chemicals such as
chlorine or bleach that produce fumes. These fumes

appliance. Damage and repair due to corrosive
