GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
LOCATION
When positioning the heater, the main variables governing the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.
The Rinnai SS850 freestanding models have an additional metal wrap which significantly reduces unwanted heat
transfer. This means the unit can be installed into tight spaces, can be built-in, and can be positioned close to walls
if the building materials are suitable. For further information on material selection refer pages 8 and 9.
Combustible clearances
The heater MUST NOT be installed where
curtains, furniture or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the fire while it is
operating. The side clearance, measured from the
edge of the cabinet, includes side walls. The 1000
mm clearance is in front of the fire.
The general clearances shown in the adjacent
diagrams (with cabinet base) apply to all the Rinnai
SS850 Freestanding models.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes. It MUST NOT obscure the
front of the fire or obstruct the fire in any way. For
more information refer page 8.
Floor protection
Heat radiating from the fire may affect the
appearance of some materials used for flooring
such as vinyl planks, carpet, cork, or timber. To
avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat be
placed in front.
Carpet MUST NOT be fitted hard
up against the fire as it will affect
IMPORTANT
operation.
Surrounds
Combustible surrounds require clearance from the
unit to minimise the risk of fire. They are allowed
providing they are outside the minimum clearances
shown.
