Combustible clearances
The Novo must not be installed where curtains,
furniture, or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the re while
it is operating. The 400 mm side clearance,
measured from the edge of the glass, includes
side walls. The 1000 mm clearance is in front of
the re.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes. It must not obscure the
front of the re or obstruct the re in any way.
Flooring and hearth material selection
The temperature in front of the Novo can
reach up to 40 °C above ambient, which is
why material selection is important. For more
information refer next page.
Floor protection
Heat radiating from the re may a󰀨ect the
appearance of some materials used for ooring
such as vinyl planks, carpet1, cork, or timber. To
avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat
be placed in front.
1Carpet cannot be tted hard up against the re as it will a󰀨ect
operation.
Mantles and surrounds
Combustible mantels and surrounds require
clearance from the unit to minimise the risk
of re. They are allowed providing they are
outside the minimum clearances shown.
The Novo gas replace is not designed to be
built into bookcases.

Flooring and hearth material selection
Flooring and hearth material selection
The temperature in front of the re (200-350 mm x 400 mm wide) can reach up to 40 °C above
ambient, which is why material selection is important, some guidelines are detailed below. For
example we know that vinyl planks are only rated for ambient temperatures which is why the re
would not be suitable for installation directly on the oor.

1 Refer oating hearth section below
Just because a material is rated >60 °C doesn’t mean it will not deteriorate when exposed to heat
cycles. Always refer to the materials supplier for suitability. The temperatures given are assuming
the re is operating in a room temperature of no more than 25 °C. Operation in higher ambient
temperatures may result in higher surface temperatures. Non-combustible materials should be
made of a heat resistant material.
Floating hearth - low rated and unrated ooring materials
For unrated ooring materials, if you use a non-combustible oating hearth, the dimensions of the
hearth, minimum depth, and minimum height, can be tweaked using the following calculations:
• Min. hearth depth (A) = 4502-height of hearth (for 50 °C rated materials it will be 400)
• Min. hearth height = 4502-depth of hearth (for 50 °C rated materials it will be 400)
Example
If you wanted a 200 mm deep non-combustible hearth, the calculation for hearth height would be:
450 - hearth depth (A) (450-200 = 250). The non-combustible hearth height would need to be
250 mm minimum.
This would mean the oating hearth dimensions could be 200 mm deep and 250 mm high.

The Novo has a fan that distributes warm air from the top of the appliance out into
the room. As warm air is dispersed outwards and not directly upwards, installation
of a TV may be an option.
The general rule for television installations
is that the bottom of the television should
be at least 400-450 mm above the re.
For a TV mounted directly above the re,
the mantel must be at least the depth of the
TV to deect heat away.
Always check with the TV manufacturer
It is up to the owner to check the TV
installation with the TV manufacturer—
some have warranty conditions that state a
TV is not to be installed above a replace.
Rinnai does not accept any responsibility
for damage to a TV resulting from the use
of this information.

Gas supply and connection
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances in the
premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specied for the total gas rate. An approved sizing
chart such as the one in AS/NZS 5601.1 should be used.
The gas supply termination is inside the
heater and enters through the rear of the appliance.

IMPORTANT

Novo DV inbuilt installation guide: 13748-C 03-22 | 13
Electrical supply
The Novo is supplied with a power cord (length 1500 mm) and a 3-pin plug. The standard electrical
connection passes through the rear panel, but can also pass through the left or right hand side
of the unit by removing the knockout tab from the bottom edge of the front panel. If changing the
electrical position use the rubber grommet from the rear of the appliance for cable protection.
The connection is either direct wired* or connected
to a power point within the cavity. This must be
connected to a dedicated 240 V, 10 A 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 re hazard).
The power cord is not re rated and should not
come into contact with the unit. If the power cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by a licensed
tradesperson. This must be a genuine replacement
part available from Rinnai.
* Consult a qualied electrician if direct wiring is required as it must comply with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 3000 and
other relevant local regulations
Using an existing externally mounted power point
If you already have an existing power point outside the enclosure, you can redirect the power cord
through the LHS or RHS of the front panel. With the frame removed redirect the cord and plug
(with the grommet), underneath the unit and to the front (left or right).
Remove the pre-punched metal knock-out located in the lower left or right edge of the frame,
ensuring the grommet is tted to the metal knock-out. Excess cord may be left in the cavity below
the unit—DO NOT coil excess cord.

The adapter frame and ue adapter come assembled on the engine and need to be taken o󰀨.
1. Lift and remove the inner frame.
2. Remove the two screws holding the outer frame to the re—lift and remove.
3. Disconnect the CAT5 cable from the ON/OFF button.
4. Remove the screws holding the re to the adapter frame and slide the engine out of the box
5. Remove the four screws holding the ue adapter to the adapter frame and set aside.
4. Install the masonry adapter frame into the enclosure
Fit the adapter frame into the enclosure, base must be at and level, and the notch in the back panel to
be in line with the centre of the cavity. Fix in place through two holes in the back panel.
5. Connect exi to ue terminal and drop exi ues down the chimney
Stretch out the exi to the required length and attach to the ue terminal using the clamps provided. Fix
ue terminal in place, allow enough ue in the cavity to x the ue adapter.
6. Connect exi ues to the colinear ue adapter
Place the ue adapter in the cavity, it can be on the oor while attaching the ues. Attach the air intake
ue over the spigot, place the ue clamp over the ue and tighten. DO NOT overtighten as this will
crush and damage the ue. Drill through the pre-punched holes either side of the clamp, and into the
exi ue spigot. Secure in place using the stainless steel self tapping screws provided, ensuring the
connection will stop movement or dislodgement of the ue.
Slide the exhaust ue into the spigot and push down until it is clipped in place—there are barbs either
side to hold it in place. Refer images on p.27.
7. Secure ue adapter to the adapter frame

aeration plate conguration, refer p.18.
9. Slide engine into the cavity
Slide re into the cavity until the front ange of the re is sitting ush against the anges of the support
panels. When properly aligned the red exhaust seal goes straight into the hole, and the four holes of the
adapter frame and engine line up. Fix the fire to the adapter frame (four inner screws) and use the outer
slots to fix the fire to the enclosure.
Once the fire has been screwed to the adapter frame, the front face of the frame and the front flange of
the fire should be pulled up hard against each other. There are witness holes in the front flange of the
fire to ensure this happens, refer image on p.19.
It is critical to ensure that the air and flue seals are correctly compressed. If there is a gap
present, there may not be a proper seal and performance could be affected.

Burn media installation
The granule pack and log set, consisting of ve logs, comes packaged inside the appliance. Use
extreme care when handling the logs, they are fragile and will damage easily. The unit must never
be used with broken logs or other burn media.
Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems are caused by burn media being
installed incorrectly. Incorrect placement can create carbon build-up and a󰀨ect performance.
Please take the time to read and follow these instructions as malfunctioning due to incorrect
placement is not covered by warranty.
The granules as well as being added to create a more realistic log e󰀨ect (they di󰀨use the gas
ames) also assist in soot prevention and are CRITICAL to the correct operation of the re. Never
pour the granules directly from the pack as dust particles and the granules may block the burner
ports.
Place 31 granules around the burner ports (not directly over) as shown below. You will have
granules left over.
x 8 x 9 x 7
