  • Page 17: Electrical Supply

    The power cord passes through a slot in the front right hand side of the appliance, approximately 140 mm from the front of the unit. Rinnai recommend the heater be plugged into a 230 V, 10 A earthed power point. The power point must not be above the heater.

  • Page 18: Installing The Linear Into The Cavity

    Installing the Linear into the cavity Carry bar position, two carry bars Hand hold Using the handholds (white slots LHS and carry bars RHS), carefully lift and slide the Linear into the enclosure and position in place. Adjustable feet Use the feet on all corners of the unit to adjust the fire so that it is level. The feet are adjustable. Having the unit level is critical to the installation, so the wall lining can be installed flush with the lips of the appliance.

  • Page 19: Removing The Glass Panel

    Removing the glass panel The glass front sits in a narrow channel at the bottom of the fire and is held in place by glass retainer latches positioned at the top, either side of the unit (the 1500 model has an extra glass retainer latch in the center).

  • Page 20: Commissioning

    Commissioning Accessing the commissioning instructions installed in the bottom of the unit will not normally occur during installation, which is why the instructions are detailed in this guide. For servicing and maintenance the commissioning sheet is installed in a pouch inside the base panel of the appliance: 1500 right hand side of the gas control...
  • Page 21 Commissioning and setting the gas pressures for the Linear is done with the glass off and before the burn media is added. NOTE The pressures can be checked by operating the buttons on the control panel PCB through the front access panels on the Linear before the wall lining has been installed, or by pulling out the control panel PCB and accessing the buttons through the opening from the front of the appliance (as shown).

    Installing the wall lining There are some aspects of the wall lining installation that are critical to the safe operation of the appliance. An air gap of at least 3 mm Wall lining UP TO lips of unit around the fire is critical to the safe operation of the Linear to ensure air flow in and around the unit.

  • Page 34: General Flueing Guidelines

    The weight of the flue system should not be supported by the appliance—it should be self- supporting. Supporting the flue is usually completed during the framing stage with flue supports or straps within the cavity. Wall straps are included with Rinnai vertical flue components. Flue terminal locations Flue terminals must be compliant with the flue terminal locations shown in AS/NZS 5601.1.

  • Page 38 Flueing options side direct, side extended, side and back flueing 300 mm minimum of straight flue is required before any bends. This is required due to heat produced from the initial section of the flue. IMPORTANT Creating a direct flue installation for wall less than 385 mm 1.
  • Page 39 Flueing options down-and-out flueing The down and out flue allows for the adaption flue component to face downwards, and for the flue to run vertically through a hole in the floor, and then terminate horizontally outside—flue must terminate 300 mm above the ground.
  • Page 40 Cutting the ASPDFK and ESPIPE900 to length Cutting the last component in the flue assembly may be required to achieve the required length. Cutting is also required at a wall penetration, refer next page. The minimum length of the ASPDFK when measured from the back plate of the transition casting MUST NOT be less than 300 mm when joining to other components.

  • Page 42: Air Hose Connection

    Air hose connection This step in the installation is critical. If the connections are not secured properly, products of combustion could disperse into the room being heated. WARNING The Linear comes with one end of the flexible air hose already connected to the Linear air inlet. Attach the other end of the air intake hose to the connection on the flue, either the ASPDFK or the EVOKIT03.
