Heat emanating from the front of the appliance may over time affect the appearance of some materials used for
flooring such as carpet, vinyl, cork or timber. This affect may be amplified if the air in the room contains cooking
vapours or cigarette smoke. To avoid this possibility, it is recommended that a mat be placed in front of the
appliance, extending at least 750 mm in front of the heater.
When the heater is operated for the first time or after long periods of non use a slight odour may be emitted, this is
normal. However if odours persist switch 'OFF' the appliance and contact Rinnai.

blocked) these devices turn the gas off automatically and allow the heater to restart when cooled down.

Flame Failure Sensing System: This device automatically cuts off the gas supply to the heater in the event of a
flame failure.
Power Failure: In the event of a power failure or power cut, the gas valves will automatically close.
