About your Rinnai Novo gas fire Congratulations on the purchase of your Rinnai Novo gas fire. We hope you love this product as much as we do, and on the off chance that something does go wrong, or if you need help, we’re only a phone call away.
On initial start-up (no additional buttons pressed), the Novo modulates the flame and heat output to try and maintain the default setting of 22 °C. If the room temperature starts to climb above 22 °C the unit will modulate to its lowest flame and fan setting, but will not turn off.
This will help avoid damage from leaking batteries. If leakage has occurred the remote will need to be replaced as leaking chemicals could be a risk if touched or ingested. 8 | Novo DV operation guide: 13747-A 01-22...

Abnormal flame pattern Each Rinnai flame fire has a distinct flame pattern, refer images below. This should look the same every time you start your fire, after an initial warm up period of approximately 20 minutes. Abnormal flame performance and/or pattern can indicate a problem with your fire, such as blocked gas injectors, or shifting of burn media.
Error codes The Novo has self diagnostic electronics that monitor the appliance during start up and operation. Should a fault occur the heater will shut down. The fault that has caused the shut down will be indicated by a pair of flashing numbers in the error display. The error will show through two narrow cutouts—you will need to walk up to the fire and look down to see these.
