4.1 Safety Precautions
WARNING
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•
Before operating, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
•
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
•
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
•
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
AVERTISSEMENT
•
Ne pas entreposer ni utiliser d'essence ou ni d'autres vapeurs ou liquides inflammables à proximité de cet appareil
ou de tout autre appareil.
•
Avant d'opérer, sentir le gaz autour de la zone de l'appareil. Assurez-vous de sentir à côté du sol car certains gaz
sont plus lourds que l'air et se déposeront sur le sol.
•
QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ :
•
Ne pas tenter d'allumer d'appareil.
•
Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur ; ne pas vous servir des téléphones se trouvant dans le bâtiment.
•
Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz depuis un voisin. Suivez les instructions du fournisseur.
•
Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur, appelez le service des incendies.
•
L'installation et l'entretien doivent être assurés par un installateur ou un service d'entretien qualifié ou par le
fournisseur de gaz.
•
Keep the area around the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
•
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a licensed professional to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
(N'utilisez pas cet appareil s'il a été plongé dans l'eau, même partiellement. Faites inspecter l'appareil par un licence
professionnelle et remplacez toute partie du système de contrôle et toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l'eau.)
•
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
(En cas de surchauffe ou si l'alimentation en gaz ne s'arrête pas, fermez manuellement le robinet d'arrêt de
l'admission de gaz.)
•
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by
hand, do not try to repair it, call a licensed professional. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
•
This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. DO
NOT try to light the burner by hand.
•
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
•
Any alteration to the appliance or its controls can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
•
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 flushed regularly. Rinnai provides a "Scale Control System" that offers
superior lime scale prevention and corrosion control by feeding a blend of control compounds into the water
supply. Damage and repair due to corrosive compounds in the air is not covered by warranty.
•
Keep the combustion air vent pipe location free of chemicals, such as chlorine or bleach, that produce fumes. These
fumes can damage components and reduce the life of your appliance. Damage and repair due to scale in the heat
exchanger is not covered by warranty.
•
Always check the water temperature before entering a shower or bath.
•
Do not adjust the parameter settings unless specifically instructed to do so.
