COMPLETING HEATER INSTALLATION
ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN
Each Rinnai Flame Fire heater has a distinct flame pattern. The flame should look the same every time you operate
your heater.
Abnormal flame performance and/or pattern can indicate a problem with your heater, such as blocked gas injectors,
incorrectly installed / inadequate flue system or the artificial logs/burn media may have shifted from when the heater
was first installed.
There are some warning signs that could indicate a problem. If any of the signs below occur, please contact Rinnai.
NORMAL FLAME PATTERN
Key signs of abnormal flame performance:
• Appliance turns 'OFF' soon after start up and does not relight.
• Flame appears overly orange-yellow.
• Flame appears either very short or very long.
• Flame only burns part way across the burner.
• Severe soot building up on the inside of the glass or on logs.
• Continuous unusual smell from the appliance.
• Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a flame.
Be advised that appliances incorporating a live fuel effect, and designed to operate with luminous
flames, may exhibit slight carbon deposition, this is normal operation.
