ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN
Each Rinnai Gas Fire has a distinct flame pattern. The flame should look the same every time you operate 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.
There are some warning signs that could indicate a problem. If any of the signs below occur, please contact Rinnai.
Key signs of abnormal flame performance:
NORMAL FLAME PATTERN
•
Appliance turns 'OFF' soon after start up and does not relight.
•
Flame appears overly orange-yellow.
•
Flame appears either very short or very long.
•
Flame only burns part way across the burner.
•
Severe soot building up on the inside of the glass or on logs.
•
Continuous unusual smell from the appliance.
•
Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a flame.
Be advised that appliances with a live fuel effect, designed to operate with luminous flames, may
exhibit slight carbon deposition. This is normal operation.
