Hot Water 135L Hotflo Gas Storage Tank Rinnai NG

Rinnai Australia is undertaking a voluntary national product safety recall on a small batch of gas storage water heaters manufactured during December 2022.

What is the hazard?

An internal gas connection may not be adequately secured. This may cause a small gas leak during operation which will stop the water heater from operating leaving it in a safe condition. Attempts by consumers at re-lighting the burner may result in a flame flash extending beyond the boundary of the access door which presents a risk of injury.

Unit Affected

Name: Hot Water 135L Hotflo Gas Storage Tank Rinnai NG
VPN: GHF4135N
Barcode: 9314109206944

What do you need to do?

If your water heater is affected, visit gasstoragecheck.rinnai.com.au or call Rinnai on 1300 364 559 to arrange for an authorised service technician to conduct a free in-home check on your water heater. If your water heater is operating normally, there is no internal gas leak and you can continue to safely use it until the technician visits you. If your water heater stops operating you must not attempt to re-light the burner until the technician has completed the check. For further details visit gasstoragecheck.rinnai.com.au or call 1300 364 559.
