Clearances - Rinnai Compact 2 Operation Manual

Clearances

The clearances, measured from the edge of the inner glass, are minimum clearances unless
otherwise stated.
While the unit is operating
The fire must not be installed where curtains
or other combustible materials could come into
contact with the unit. The 1000 mm clearance
shown is the clearance to the ceiling. The
300 mm side clearance includes side walls.
Wall surface above the fire
The temperature of the wall surface directly
above the appliance may get warm and
discolour paint finishes or distort wall coverings.
For durability of surfaces, please contact the
manufacturer for their specification. The finish
needs to be able to withstand temperatures of
up to 65 °C above ambient.
Floor protection
Heat from this fire may affect the appearance
of some materials used for flooring, such
as carpet, vinyl, cork or timber. This may be
amplified if the air contains cooking vapours or
cigarette smoke. To avoid this occurring, it is
recommended that a mat be placed in front of
the fire, extending at least 750 mm in front.
Mantels and surrounds
Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible
materials such as wood, are allowed providing
they are outside the minimum clearances
shown.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
flooring. A hearth must not obscure the front
face of the fire or obstruct the fire in any way
(including the frame around the fire).
TV installation above the fire
Installing a TV directly above the Compact 2
is not recommended due to the heat being
emitted directly above the fire and also heat
being generated from the flue components.
