CLEARANCES, MANTELS, SURROUNDS, RECESSES & HEARTHS
Clearances
The appliance must be installed with the shown
minimum clearances to combustible materials.
Mantles
A timber mantel may be installed above this appliance
but must be within the grey area as shown here.
Timber Surrounds
As with mantels 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 limitations shown right.
The same limitations apply to the sides
of the appliance.
NOTE
TV or Ornamentation Above The Heater
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,
etc.
Rinnai does not take any responsibility
for any damage occurring to any items
installed above and in the vicinity of
the heater.
Use either a shelf or mantel below the
TV or ornament or alternately you can
IDEA construct a recess to mount TV or
ornament on.
Check the manufacturers installation
instructions for these items and ensure
the recess is suitable.
Hearths
Although a solid hearth is not required, if the appliance
is to be installed within 300mm of the floor, it is
recommended that protection is given to any flooring
surface directly in front of the unit as the appliance
produces a large amount of radiant heat and this
might cause damage to flooring and furnishings that
are too close.
