Before You Start - Rinnai Ember Series Installation Manual

Before you start

Unpack the appliance and components and check for damage. DO NOT install any damaged items.
Check all components have been supplied and that you have the correct gas type.
Read these instructions to get an overview of the steps required before starting the installation. Failure
to follow these instructions could cause a malfunction of the appliance. This could result in serious injury
and/or property damage.
Ensure the flue termination will meet the required flue clearances as shown in AS/NZS 5601.1 before
installation.
Item
Engine
The Ember engine comes with; remote control (batteries inserted), operation and installation guides, granule packs, rockwool,
crushed glass, vermiculite, and flexible gas connection.
4-sided or 3-sided frame
Zero clearance frame
A must-have for mock chimney installations as it
gives automatic clearances to combustibles and
is critical for keeping the installation square.
Infill panel (if needed)
Infill panel only needed if the cavity is slightly larger than the frame—panel will cover the gap behind the fire and 3-sided frame.
700 Masonry frame
Wider masonry frame for the Ember 700,
designed to cover a larger cavity opening.
Burn media
Option of a log or stone set—ensure you
have the correct set before starting, they are
different for each model.
Masonry flue components
Flexi flue components for a vertical or
horizontal chimney termination
Mock chimney flue components
Flue components for a vertical or horizontal
termination.

terminates inside the heater—lower right hand
side of the appliance.

Installation considerations
Room size—smaller rooms will heat up quickly,
and due to the efficiency of the appliance, the
Ember will turn to a low flame setting once the set
temperature has been reached.
For efficient performance Rinnai recommends
installing the fire as close to the floor as possible.
If the unit is installed higher up the wall the
movement of air from the convection fan,
depending on the room configuration, could
create draughts.
Noise level: 37-45 dB(A)
Flueing: Masonry
Colinear flexi flue, air intake Ø 75 mm, exhaust
Ø 100 mm. Appliance must be installed with a
Rinnai Ember flue system.
Flueing: Mock chimney
Colinear (air intake Ø 75 mm, exhaust Ø 100 mm)
to coaxial direct vent flueing (inner Ø 100 mm,
outer Ø 170 mm). Appliance must be installed with
a Rinnai Ember flue system.
Electrical
This heater has a 1.5 m power cord with a three pin
plug supplied. The power cord passes through a
slot in the back left hand corner of the appliance.
• High = 110 W
• Standby = <1W
Safety devices
Flame failure sensing system, pressure relief,
overheat safety switch, air temperature sensor,
thermal fuse, overcurrent fuse, and spark
detector.
Temperature control
34 mm
Once the unit is turned on the infra-red
remote* is used to control the flame
height and heat output.
If the remote is not used the Ember will
automatically modulate between the
23
burner settings to maintain the default
set temperature of 22 °C.
depth - 11 mm
* Temperature sensor is located in the bottom of the remote
