General Information - Rinnai Symmetry RDV3611 Operation Manual

General information

Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to operate,
maintain and service your Rinnai gas fire.
Cladding and finishes
The Symmetry RDV3611 comes in
two framing options; framed and
frameless. Framed is best suited
to a dry wall/plaster finish. The
frameless option suits cladding
with a finished edge, such as, tiles,
brick, or polished granite.
With a framed and frameless
installation the fire is a permanent
fixture. The fire is screwed to the
framing before the cladding. Once
the cladding has been fixed in
place the Symmetry RDV3611 has
been framed into a permanent
position.
The depth of the Symmetry
RDV3611 is adjustable to
accommodate a range of cladding
options. This is important for a
frameless installation to achieve
a flush finish. Where the edge is
visible, an aluminium edge can be
used to hide the visible cladding.
Electrical connection
The standard
electrical
connection is to
the right hand side
of the heater front
assembly. If necessary this can be
changed by your electrician to
terminate on the left.
The connection is either direct
wired or connected to a power
point within the cavity. A 1500
mm power cord is supplied
with a 3-pin plug. This must be
connected to a dedicated earthed
power point. The electric isolation
switch must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
The heater must not be located
immediately below a socket outlet
(potential fire hazard).
If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a licensed
tradesperson. This must be a
genuine replacement part available
from Rinnai, part number 6765B.
Heat transfer kit
The heat transfer ducting kit
is available as an optional
accessory. This allows heat from
the Symmetry RDV3611 to be
transferred to another area of the
house.
It is best to install the kit at the
same time as the fire due to the
additional space required for
installation. The heat transfer kit
must be installed by a licensed
tradesperson.
Installation by a licensed
tradesperson
Ensure your installer talks to
you about the use and care of
this appliance, and that you
understand these instructions. The
installer also needs to complete
the appliance commissioning sheet
and installer details, and leave this
guide with you.
Safety devices
Your Rinnai Symmetry RDV3611 is
designed with the following safety
devices:
- light to pilot
- overheat safety switch
- flame failure
- combustion chamber pressure
relief
Soot deposits
Small soot deposits on the log set
or glass is normal. Significant build
up however is not normal and will
require a service call. Refer to the
troubleshooting section for further
information.
TV installation above the
fireplace
If installing a flat
screen TV above the
fire the main issue is
heat. Heat from the
fire and heat from the
flueing components that sit behind
the TV, especially if recessed.
The Symmetry RDV3611 has a fan
that distributes warm air from the
top of the appliance out into the
room. As warm air is dispersed
outwards as opposed to directly
upwards, installation of a TV may
be an option.
For further information please
contact Rinnai or refer to the
installation manual. This illustrates
recommended minimum
clearances when installing a TV
directly above the Symmetry
RDV3611 or into a recess.
