RINNAI 556f blinks 60-76 error code. Can't find that in the book!

Page 40. You are right it isn't in the book.

Just guesses with a targeted search query. 'Combustion Failure'.

https://www.google.com/search?q=RINNAI+556f+%2260-76%22+error

No matter anyway, it is a gas appliance and can only be worked on by a certified gas registered technician. You can try a power cycle reset. Disconnect all mains power and wait 5 minutes, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, let go and power back up. Wait 2 minutes for a self test to complete.
