As with mantles when a timber surround is to be fitted,
ensure it complies with minimum timber clearances
of 300mm above and 150mm to each side.
Recesses
If the appliance is to be installed into a recess the
recess must comply with the following limitations.
The same limitations apply to the sides
of the appliance.

The installation of electrical appliances
above and in the vicinity of the heater
such as, but not limited to, Plasma
CAUTION
TV, LCD TV, Home Theatre Screens,
Speakers, etc must comply with their
manufacturers' instructions.
It is the responsibility of the installer/
end-user to check the installation
instructions of these items and to
ensure the location is suitable.
This caution also extends to, but
is not limited to, ornaments such
as: Paintings, Prints, Photographs,
Tapestries, Mirrors, Stuffed Animals,

Check the manufacturers installation instructions for these items and ensure the recess is
suitable.
Rinnai does not take any responsibility for any damage occurring to any items installed above
and in the vicinity of the heater.
NOTE
Hearths
Although a solid hearth is not required, if the appliance
is to be installed within 300 mm of the floor, it is
recommended that protection is given to any flooring
surface directly in front of the unit.
The appliance produces a large amount of radiant
heat and this might cause damage to flooring and
furnishings that are too close.
