temperature controller. The
green Priority light will glow
indicating that this controller is
controlling the temperature and
that the Rinnai water heater is
ready to supply hot water.
While any hot water is being

only be adjusted between 98º F and
110º F. NOTICE
Hot water can be dangerous, especially for infants or children, the elderly,
or infirm. There is hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.
Water temperatures over 125º F (51º C) can cause severe burns or
scalding resulting in death.
Hot water can cause first degree burns with exposure for as little as:
3 seconds at 140º F (60º C)
20 seconds at 130º F (54º C)
8 minutes at 120º F (48º C)
Test the temperature of the water before placing a child in the bath or
shower.
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
The priority can only be changed
while no hot water is running.
