Rinnai Electric Heat Pump Water Heater Manual
Illustrated in Figure 3, the sealed system within the apparatus is charged with refrigerant. This
refrigerant undergoes evaporaon at low temperatures, extracng heat from the surrounding air.
Within the evaporator, the refrigerant transions from a liquid to a gaseous state. Subsequently, a
compressor elevates the pressure and temperature of the gaseous refrigerant. The energy for
compression, sourced from electricity, is indirectly converted into heat and discharged to the
downstream microchannel (condenser). At this stage, the refrigerant indirectly imparts latent heat
to the water within the Domesc Hot Water (DHW) tank, experiencing a phase change back to a
liquid state. The liquid refrigerant is then directed to a lter dryer, followed by an expansion valve
that diminishes the prevailing pressure. The refrigerant is subsequently guided back to the
evaporator, iniang the cycle again.
Figure 3
The electric heat pump operates in a manner opposite to that of a refrigerator. It extracts heat from
the surrounding outside air and transfers it into the water, using electricity solely for system
operaon. This results in signicantly reduced energy consumpon compared to using an electric
element hot water system alone. The eciency of the heat pump system is enhanced in warmer
climates.
The heat pump unit features a highly ecient micro-channel heat exchanger wrapped around the
inner cylinder to opmize thermal conducvity. A temperature sensor in the tank regulates the
heat pump's operaon to achieve the desired water temperature.
During periods when ambient weather condions are unfavorable for the heat pump operaon or
during peak water demand, the electric element heater takes over to ensure a connuous supply of
hot water.

Please consult the illustraon on Figure 12 for a recommended standard installaon. It is
advisable to use exible connectors for the hot and cold-water connecons. These connectors
oer vibraon isolaon and facilitate easy service of the water heater, if required.
The HOT and COLD water connecons are disnctly labeled and measure 3/4” MNPT on all
models. It is recommended to install a shut-o valve in the cold-water line near the water heater.
Refer to Secon 5.11, page 20 for instrucons on how to ll the water heater.
Verify the presence of a check valve in the incoming water line by consulng your local water
ulity. It might be installed independently as a backow preventer in the cold-water line or
integrated into a pressure reducing valve, water meter, or water soener. A check valve in the
cold-water inlet line can establish a "closed water system," while the absence of such a valve or
backow prevenon device characterizes an "open" water system.
When water is heated, it undergoes thermal expansion, increasing pressure in the water system. In
an "open" water system, excess expanded water returns to the city main, where pressure is easily
dissipated. Conversely, a "closed water system" inhibits expanded water from owing back into the
main supply line, leading to a swi and hazardous pressure rise in the water heater and system
piping. This rapid pressure increase may trigger the T&P valve at each heang cycle.
The connuous expansion and contracon due to thermal expansion can prematurely damage the
T&P valve and potenally the heater itself. Simply replacing the T&P valve will not resolve the
issue. To control thermal expansion, it is recommended to install a correctly sized expansion tank
in the cold-water line between the water heater and the check valve. The expansion tank has an
integrated air cushion that compresses with rising system pressure, alleviang overpressure
condions and prevenng repeated relief valve acvaon. Alternave methods for managing
thermal expansion exist; consult your installaon contractor, water supplier, or plumbing inspector
for more informaon on this maer.
NOTICE
DO NOT apply heat to the HOT or COLD water connecons. If sweat connecons are employed,
sweat the tubing to the adapter before ng the adapter to the water connecons on the heater.
Any heat applied to the water supply ngs will result in permanent damage to the dip tube and/
or heat traps.
NOTICE
Operang temperature range of cold (inlet) water is 48°F (9°C) to 110°F (43°C).
Operang pressure range is 43.5 psi (300 kPa) to 150 psi (1034 kPa).
Water ow rate should be from 0.88 gpm (0.2 m

DANGER
Seng the thermostat too high can create a scalding risk. Homes with young children, the elderly,
or individuals with disabilies may need to set the thermostat to 120°F (49°C) or lower to avoid
exposure to hot water.
Water Temperature Seng
Regulate your water heater's temperature through the control display, keeping safety and energy
savings in mind. Lower sengs reduce energy costs. For safety, the factory default is 120°F (49°C),
which is the recommended starng point. Temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can cause severe
burns. Always follow the manual and label warnings on the front of the heater.
Consider installing mixing valves to blend hot and cold water for safer point-of-use temperatures,
following ASSE 1017 standards. For demand response, use ASSE 1017-compliant thermostac
mixing valves on the hot water supply line, per manufacturer instrucons. Refer Table 1, page 5 to
determine the right water temperature for your home.
The primary funcon of the control panel is to allow user to set temperature. Addionally, it
provides access to extra features like seng up schedule, check performance data, show
error codes, update engineering channels etc.
The water heater has three means of heang the water: the elements, the heat pump, and a
combinaon of the elements and heat pump.
The control logic of the Control Assembly is designed so that the heat pump always has
priority over the elements. The temperature regulaon will not be performed unl aer Dry-
Fire detecon tesng indicates that there is sucient water in the tank.
Refer table 6 and 7 to understand display icons and available operaons on this appliance.
The heat pumps fan will not turn on if the incoming water temperature is less than 39°F (4°C)
and/or the ambient air temperature is above 107.6°F (42°C), or below 37.4°F (3°C). The
internal diagnoscs detects that the heat pump is out of operaonal range.

To avoid scalding risks, ensure that no one
is exposed to hot water when manually
operang the relief valve. Release the water
into an appropriate drain to avoid injuries
or property damage.
DANGER
Thermal expansion in a closed loop water
system can cause the temperature and
pressure relief valve on the water heater to
discharge periodically.
Consult your water heater supplier or a
qualied plumber to correct it. DO NOT
block the relief valve outlet.
NOTICE
Regular maintenance ensures your water
heater's long, trouble-free operaon. This ap-
pliance has a maintenance reminder. Default is
365 days. When the maintenance me is due,
display shows icon. Establish and follow a
maintenance roune. Refer table 10 to reset
maintenance mer once compleng all check-
ups/clean ups.
Note that most electrical appliances, including
new ones, produce some operaonal noise. If
you noce an excessive increase in noise levels,
contact a qualied installer or plumbing
contractor for inspecon.
When water-using appliances with solenoid
valves close rapidly, it may cause a hammering
eect / noise in the water pipes. To minimize
this issue, you can use strategically placed ris-
ers in the water pipe system or employ water
hammer arresng devices.
IMPORTANT: Li and release the lever handle
on the T&P valve, located on the side of the
water heater, at least once a year to conrm its
Turn o the water heater's power before
beginning to drain water.
CAUTION
Ensure safety by conrming that nobody is
in the vicinity of the hot water discharge
when using the drain valve. The water from
the tank could cause scalding, so direct it to
a proper drain to prevent harm or damage.
DANGER
Sediments suspended in water can
accumulate at the boom of a water heater's
tank, oen due to hard water. To prevent
this buildup, it's recommended to drain a few
quarts of water from the tank every month.
To drain the water heater, rst shut-o the
cold-water supply. Then, either open a hot
water faucet or li the relief valve easing
gear to let air into the tank. You mustrst
aach the garden hose. Then close cold
supply, and open hot faucet/T&P valve, then
open drain valve.

It's recommended to clean the air lter
located on the top of the water heater
every 3 months. Clean it with mild
detergent and water, then dry and install it
back. To remove the lter, li and slide it to
the front of the unit, and to replace it,
lower it into the lter slot on top
Refer to the Hydrogen Gas Cauon in the
Operang Instrucons.
NOTICE
Change the mode of operaon to VACATION
if water heater not in use for a long me, to
save energy and avoid hydrogen gas build-up.
In case of unit shut down, drain the water
heater and pipes to prevent damage from
freezing. Have a professional inspect the
heater aer a long shutdown and ensure its
fully relled before use.
Avoid removing the anode rod from the
water heater as it shortens the tank's
lifespan and voids the warranty. The anode
rod is designed to reduce corrosion in the
glass-lined tank and is slowly consumed.
High sulfate/mineral content in water can
cause a roen egg smell and chlorinaon of
the water supply can reduce this.
NOTICE
This water heater is equipped with an anode
rod engineered to extend the longevity of the
glass-lined tank. The anode rod undergoes
gradual consumpon, eecvely prevenng
or reducing corrosion of the glass-lined tank.
It is recommended to replace anode rod
every 5 years (IMPORTANT: life of the
anode rod depends on the water usage and
quality. It may need to be replaced earlier
than recommended me).

Q: Why cant compressor start immediately
aer seng?
A: The unit will wait for 3 min to balance the
pressure of system before starng the
compressor again, it's a self-protecon
logic of unit.
Q: Why does the temperature shown on the
display panel decreased while unit is
running?
A: When the upper tank temperature is much
higher than the lower tank temperature,
the upper hot water will be mixed by the
lower cold water which connually ows
from inlet. This will decrease the upper
temperature.
Q: Why does the element heater never turns
on even if tank temperature is signicantly
lower than set temperature?
A: Scenario 1: The unit is able to fulll hot
water demand without ulizing the backup
element heater.
Scenario 2: If unit is turned on for the rst
me, it goes through inial set up and runs
the dry-re protecon logic to ensure that
the tank is lled with water.
Scenario 3: Check if electric heang switch
parameter is set correctly. Engineering
channel 6 should be set to
1
”.
Q: Why does the temperature display show
low temperature when hot water is sll
available?
A: the upper temperature sensor is located
1/4 from the top of the tank. It is possible
for the top 1/4 to sll be hot.
Q: Why are the buons unavailable
somemes?
A. The unit features child lock funcon to
avoid any accidental touch. It is indicated
by “ ” icon on the display. To unlock,
press “ ” and simultaneously for 2
