Completing The Heater Installation - Rinnai Compact 2 RIBF2L Installation Manual

Completing the heater installation

1. Remove combustion
chamber glass
Loosen, but do not remove the
bottom two retaining screws.
While supporting the
combustion chamber glass
panel, completely unscrew
and remove the two remaining
screws and clamp. Lift the
combustion chamber glass
panel and place aside.
2. Unpack log set and granules
Carefully unpack the log set
and inspect for damage. If
any damage is evident, do not
continue with the installation.
The satchel containing the
burner granules is taped to the
outside of the foam packing
that contains the log set.
3. Install log set and granules
Use extreme care when
handling the log set as it is
fragile and will damage easily.
To position correctly, hold
the log set at approximately
45 ° directly in front of the
combustion chamber. Maintain
this angle and place the front
feet of the log set behind the
unpainted inner horizontal steel
lip of the combustion chamber.
To set the log set into the final
position, rotate the back of the
log set down, using the location
of the front feet as pivot points,
until it is sitting flat on the rear
burner.
Check the correct position of
the log set before installing the
granules. Ensure the log set is
firmly seated in the centre of
the combustion chamber and
not touching the side walls, and
that the ports are clear of any
debris that may have occurred
during installation.

Carefully place (do not pour)
the granules over and around
the front burner ports. It is
beneficial that the gas jet is
diffused by the granules. This
will reduce any candling effect
of the flame and enhance the
realistic log-burning look of the
heater.
Do not force, or block
the burner ports with the
CAUTION
granules and do not place
any granules on the rear
burner.
4. Replace combustion
chamber glass and turn on
electrical supply
6. Check burner pressures
Turn gas supply on, and refer to
the data plate on the appliance
for the correct gas pressure
settings.
Remove the pressure test point
screw and attach a manometer
to the test point situated on the
front of the injector block.
Light the heater, select the
high heat setting, and check
the pressure. If adjustments
are necessary, the regulator is
situated on the front of the gas
control.
After checking pressures,
turn the unit off, remove
manometer, and replace test
point screw.
Turn the heater on and off a few
times to check ignition. When
you are satisfied that the heater
is working check the flame
pattern, refer p. 20.
7. Attach frame assembly
Re-attach the gas/electrical
plate. DO NOT do this if you are
installing the traditional frame
as this already has the plate
included.
Traditional frame - gas/electrical
plate not required
Standard frame - gas/electrical plate
required
Carefully pick up the frame
assembly* and position the top
fold over the mounting tabs and
gently push the lower edge of
the frame down over the unit.
Fit and tighten the frame to the
unit using two screws for the
standard frame or three screws
for the traditional frame.
* Standard frame: Do not tilt on its
edge as the glass may slide out off the
standoff posts.
8. Complete the installation
checklist
Complete the installation and
commissioning checklist in the
customer operation guide, and
make sure you leave the guide
with the customer.
Explain to the customer about
the use and care of the heater,
and ensure they understand the
instructions and operation of
the appliance.
