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
If a power point
is used it must
be 230 V, rated
at 10 A, and must
be earthed. This power point
MUST NOT be located above
the heater. Alternatively the
appliance can be direct wired
if the power supply is to be
concealed.
The Compact 2 is fitted with a
1.5 m power cord. The electrical
connection can exit the
appliance from the lower left
or right hand side, or from the
rear.
Direct wired installations
A qualified electrician will
need to be consulted where
a direct wired installation is
required. Installation must
comply with the requirements
of AS/NZS 5601.1, AS/NZS 3000
and any other relevant local
regulations.
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
Only a licensed tradesperson
can install, adjust, maintain,
and service this gas fire. Any
work carried out by a non-
licensed tradesperson is illegal
and will void any warranty.
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.
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) .
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.
