COMMISSIONING
BURN MEDIA INSTALLATION
Due to the number of steps involved, separate instructions have been supplied with each burn
media type and a colour placement sheet is also provided attached to burner box glass.
IMPORTANT
Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems are caused by burn media
being installed incorrectly, as such correct placement of the burn media is critical. Ensure you
have read through and understood the supplied burn media instructions before attempting
installation. It is important to place the burn media in the correct position as incorrect placement
can create carbon build-up and affect the heaters performance.
Malfunctions due to incorrect burn media placement are NOT covered by warranty.
The appliance MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn media that is damaged.
The burn media sets are different and can NOT be interchanged, please ensure you have ordered
the correct set before installation.
TEST OPERATION AND LIGHTING SEQUENCE
It may take approximately two hours of operation for the burn media to achieve their full flame pattern and glow.
During the initial burning-in period, some smoke and smell may be experienced. The appliance should run on a
high setting in a well ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern during this time.
ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN
Each Rinnai Gas Fireplace heater has a distinct flame pattern. The flame should look the same every time you
operate your heater, after an initial warm up period of approximately 15 minutes.
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.
•
Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a flame
•
Flame appears overly orange-yellow.
•
Flame appears either very short or very long.
•
Flame only burns part way across the burner.
•
