TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF APPLIANCE
The refrigerant used in the heat pump (R290 Propane) is a flammable gas.
The appliance(s) shall be stored and transported in an area without ignition sources (for example:
RISK OF FIRE
open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater)
DO NOT pierce or burn the appliance.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
Compliance with AS/NZS 5149 MUST be observed while storing the appliance.
National and state regulations exist for storage, handling and transport of hazardous goods
including flammable gasses. The maximum number of pieces of equipment or the configuration
of the equipment, permitted to be transported or stored together will be determined by the
IMPORTANT
applicable regulations.

DO NOT TILT
MORE THAN 45°
FROM VERTICAL
The Rinnai Electric Heat Pump must be transported at an angle no greater that 45º from vertical. As the compressor
unit is located at the top of the electric heat pump, should the heat pump be tilted at a greater angle than 45º from
vertical, the lubrication oil within the compressor can run down into the mufflers. This will leave the compressor
motor without sufficient lubrication and lead to premature failure of the compressor unit.
As a general good practice it is better to keep the compressor upright as much as possible to avoid any risks.
Returning the Rinnai Electric Heat Pump to a vertical position will allow the oil to properly flow back into the
compressor motor.
Tilting the system beyond 45º from vertical will also place undue strain on compressor motor mounts and associated
piping.
Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources. For
example, open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.
Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
