General Information - Rinnai Compact 2 Operation Manual

General information

Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to operate,
maintain and service your Rinnai gas fire.
Electrical connection
The Compact 2 is
fitted with a
1.5 m power cord
and 3-pin plug
which can exit the
appliance from either the lower
left or right hand side of the
heater, or from the rear of the
heater.
The connection is either direct
wired or connected to a power
point within the cavity. This must
be connected to a dedicated
earthed power point. The electric
isolation switch must be accessible
after the appliance has been
installed. The heater must not
be located immediately below
a socket outlet (potential fire
hazard).
If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a licensed
tradesperson. This must be a
genuine replacement part available
from Rinnai, part number 6765B.
Power failure
If the heater is in operation when
there is a power failure, the gas
valves will remain open and the
heater will continue to operate,
but the fan will stop. The overheat
protection may then shut off
the gas to protect the heater.
Switching the heater to its lowest
setting may allow the heater
to continue operating without
overheating.
Installation by a licensed
tradesperson
Ensure your installer talks to
you about the use and care of
this appliance, and that you
understand these instructions. The
installer also needs to complete
the appliance commissioning sheet
and installer details, and leave this
guide with you.

Safety devices
Your Rinnai Compact 2 is designed
with the following safety devices:
- Overheat safety switches
When the heater gets too hot
during operation, for example,
when the air outlet louvres are
blocked, these devices turn
the gas off automatically and
allow the heater to restart
when cooled down
- Flame failure sensing system
Automatically cuts off the gas
supply to the heater in the
event of a flame failure.
Soot deposits
Small soot deposits on the log set
or glass is normal. Significant build
up however is not normal and will
require a service call. Refer to the
troubleshooting section for further
information.
TV installation above the
fireplace
Installing a TV directly above the
Compact 2 is not recommended
due to the heat being emitted
directly above the fire (especially
when the fan is not
operating), and also
heat being generated
from the flueing
components.
Maintenance and servicing
All external
surfaces of the
heater can be
cleaned using
a soft damp
cloth and mild
detergent. DO
NOT use solvents and do not
attempt to clean the heater while
it is hot or operating.
Rinnai has a maintenance/service
and spare parts network with
personnel who are fully trained
and equipped to give the best
advice on your Rinnai appliance.
If your appliance needs
maintenance/servicing, please call
Rinnai (0800 746 624) from a land
line and select option one for a
service centre in your area.
For reliable operation Rinnai flame
fires should be serviced every
two years, including inspection
of the flue system. If they are in a
particularly dusty environment or
subject to excess lint, for example
dog hair, or where there are newly
laid carpets, then annual servicing
would be beneficial.
Regular maintenance/servicing
is not covered by the Rinnai
warranty.
Do not attempt to carry out any
service work other than that
mentioned in the troubleshooting
section. If you have any other
faults or problems, please refer to
your installer or call Rinnai.
