General Information - Rinnai Compact 2 Operation Manual

General information

Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to operate, maintain and
service your Rinnai gas fire.
Electrical connection
The Compact 2 comes with a 1.5 m power cord
and a 3-pin plug. The electrical connection can
exit the unit from the lower left or right hand
side, or from the rear of the fire.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be
replaced by a licensed tradesperson. This must
be a genuine replacement part available from
Rinnai.
The connection is either direct wired
connected to a power point within the cavity.
This must be connected to a dedicated earthed
power point. The electric isolation switch must
be accessible after the appliance has been
installed.
Installation by a licensed tradesperson
Only a licensed tradesperson can install, adjust,
maintain, and service this gas fire. Any work
carried out by a non-licensed tradesperson is
illegal and will void any warranty.
Installer handover
Ensure your installer talks to you about the
use and care of this appliance, and that you
understand these instructions. The installer also
needs to complete the appliance installation
checklist and installer details (p. 11), and leave
this guide with you.
Soot deposits
Small soot deposits inside the heater or glass
is normal. Significant soot build-up however
is not normal and will require a service call.
Refer to the troubleshooting section for further
information.
Environmental
Your Rinnai gas fire is
manufactured from a number of
recyclable materials. At the end
of its useful life please consider
what parts could be recycled, for
example scrap metal.
1 Consult a qualified electrician if direct wiring is required as it must comply with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 3000 and other
relevant local regulations
Care and maintenance
All external surfaces of the fire can be cleaned
using a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Do
not use solvents and do not attempt to clean
while the fire is still operating or hot.
Servicing
Rinnai has a maintenance,
service and spare parts network
with personnel who are fully
trained and equipped to give
or the best advice on your Rinnai
1
appliance.
Servicing and repair should only be carried out
by authorised personnel, please call Rinnai
(0800 746 624).
For reliable operation Rinnai gas fireplaces
should be serviced every two years, including
inspection of the flue system. If they are in a
particularly dusty environment or subject to
excess lint, for example dog hair, or where
there are newly laid carpets, then annual
servicing would be beneficial.
Regular maintenance and servicing is not
covered by the Rinnai warranty.
