* MCC-91 Temperature Controller
These settings require the MCC-91 controller. When the MCC-91 controller is connected, these higher
temperatures are available on all controller models in the system.
Use of an MCC-91 controller in a residential dwelling will reduce the warranty coverage to that of a commercial
warranty application which is no coverage for these models (except when an MCC-91 is used with a Rinnai
Hydronic Air Handler). See the Warranty Information for more information on the warranty.
The MCC-91 controller is intended for commercial and hydronic applications only. If an MCC-91 controller is
used in a residential dwelling for a hydronics application, a mixing valve must also be installed to limit the
potable hot water temperature to a safe temperature. Water temperatures over 125º F (52º C) can cause
severe burns or scalding. Refer to the Danger Alert on water temperatures. Rinnai shall not, in any event, be
liable for damages resulting from such misuse or misapplication.
