False Fireplace Installation - Rinnai RDV600ER Installation Manual

FALSE FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

When installing the Rinnai Ember into a purpose built mock chimney or chase, which is not open
to the roof space of the building, you will need to add cavity vents.
WARNING
Heat from the fire lost through the outer skin of the appliance and the flue system will not be able
to adequately vent. This can lead to a build-up of excess heat in the cavity. In some cases the fire
may overheat and the overheat safety mechanisms may operate.
Adding two vents of at least 200 cm
airflow in a cavity of approximately 1.2 m wide x 2.4 m high and 0.8 m deep. An additional benefit
is that the ventilation of the cavity will return some of this heat Into the room.
Read this manual thoroughly and gain a full understanding of the requirements before undertaking
