Abnormal flame pattern
Each Rinnai Flame Fire has a distinct flame pattern. This should look the same every
time you start your fire, after an initial warm up period of approximately 20 minutes.
Abnormal flame performance
and/or pattern can indicate a
problem with your fire, such
as blocked gas injectors, or
that the log set (burn media)
has shifted from when the
fire was first installed. There
are some warning signs that
could indicate a problem.
- Unusual smell from the
appliance
- Continued difficulty or
delay in establishing a
flame
- Flame appears very short
or very long
- Flame only burns part way
across the burner
- Severe soot building up
on the inside of the glass
If any of the above signs
occur, please call Rinnai to
discuss.
