Safety Devices - Rinnai SPECTRUM 28 REH281 EB Operation & Installation Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
A dedicated 240V earthed 10 Amp power point MUST BE USED with this appliance.
DO NOT use power boards or double adaptors to operate this appliance. The heater MUST NOT be located
below a power socket-outlet.
DO NOT unplug the heater while it is in operation or while the fan is still cycling.
DO NOT place containers of liquid on top of the heater. Water spillage can cause extensive damage to the
appliance and create an electrocution hazard.
DO NOT connect to an LPG gas cylinder indoors.
Turn the heater 'OFF' after use.
DO NOT remove the Wire Dress Guard. The dress guard is fitted to this appliance to reduce the risk of fire
or injury from burns and no part of it should be permanently removed. For protection of children or the infirm, a
secondary guard is recommended.
Heat emanating from the front of the appliance may over time affect the appearance of some materials used for
flooring such as carpet, vinyl, cork or timber. This affect may be amplified if the air in the room contains cooking
vapours or cigarette smoke. To avoid this possibility, it is recommended that a mat be placed in front of the
appliance, extending at least 750 mm in front of the heater.
When the heater is operated for the first time or after long periods of non use a slight odour may be emitted, this
is normal. However if odours persist switch 'OFF' the appliance and contact Rinnai.

SAFETY DEVICES

Over Heat Switches: When the heater gets too hot during operation (for example when air outlet louvres are
blocked, or during a power outage) these devices turn the gas off automatically and allow the heater to restart
when cooled down.
Electrical Fuse: The electrical circuits are protected by a fuse.
Flame Failure Sensing System: Automatically cuts off the gas supply to the heater in the event of a flame failure.
Power Failure: In the event of a power failure while the heater is in operation the fan will stop, however the gas
valves remain open and continue to heat the appliance. The overheat protection may then shut off the gas to
protect the heater, however switching the heater to its lowest setting may allow the heater to continue operating
without reaching an overheat condition.
