Rinnai Boiler: Automatic de-aeration program (A xx, 17 min)

Updated · by Aurora Star Tech Inc.

Automatic de-aeration program (A xx, 17 min) on a Rinnai boiler: After power-up or a reset the boiler runs a 17-minute air purge, shown as A followed by the countdown. Block 85 (no flow) also triggers it. The manual gives no key combination to skip it; wait it out or power-cycle and it restarts.
