BURN MEDIA INSTALLATION

If the heater is not operating correctly refer to the "TROUBLE SHOOTING CHECKLIST" section of
the Operational Manual on page 14 before contacting Rinnai.
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the installer to check that under normal operating conditions of the
appliance, all flue gases are exhausted to the outside atmosphere and that there is no spillage of
combustion gases into the room. Please refer to AS/NZS 5601.
During the initial burning in period of approximately 2 hours, some minor smoke and smell may
be experienced. During this period the heater should be operated on High and the space being
heated should be well ventilated. It may take up to 20 minutes of operation for the logs to achieve
their full flame pattern and glow.
Burner aerations are factory set and can NOT be adjusted. If you are unable to get the unit to
operate correctly refer to the Operation Manual "TROUBLE SHOOTING CHECKLIST" on page 14
before contacting Rinnai.
Malfunctions due to incorrect burn media placement are NOT covered by warranty.
The appliance MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn media that is damaged.

ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN

Each Rinnai Gas Fire has a distinct flame pattern. The flame should look the same every time you start your
heater, after an initial warm up period of approximately 15 minutes.
Abnormal flame performance and/or pattern can indicate a problem with your heater, such as blocked gas injectors,
incorrectly installed / inadequate flue system or the Ceramic logs / stones and or burner media may have shifted
from when the heater was first installed.
