Mantels And Surrounds - Inbuilt Models; Tv Installation - Rinnai Novo Operation Manual

Mantels and surrounds - inbuilt models

Combustible mantels and surrounds require clearance from the unit to minimise the risk of fire.
Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible materials such as wood, are allowed providing they
are outside the minimum clearances shown.
The Novo gas fireplace is not designed to be built into bookcases.
A Mantel needs to be a min. of 400 mm away
from the edge of the glass
B
Max. mantel depth at 400 mm (A) is 250 mm
C
Surround needs to be a minimum of 150 mm
away from the edge of the glass
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth there
must be an additional 100 mm of clearance from
the edge of the glass. For example:
Mantel depth
300 mm
350 mm
400 mm

TV installation

The Novo has a fan that distributes warm air from the
top of the appliance out into the room. As warm air is
dispersed outwards and not directly upwards, installation
of a TV may be an option.
The general rule for television installations is that the
bottom of the television should be at least
400-450 mm above the fire.
For a TV mounted directly above the fire, the mantel must
be at least the depth of the TV to deflect heat away.
Always check with the TV manufacturer
It is up to the owner to check the TV installation with the
TV manufacturer—some have warranty conditions that
state a TV is not to be installed above a fireplace.
Rinnai does not accept any responsibility for damage to a
TV resulting from the use of this information.
