Step 3. Masonry Flue Installation
Connect both the Ø 100mm exhaust pipe
(A) and the Ø 75mm inlet pipe (B) ues to
the masonry cowl (C1) / co-linear to coaxial
adaptor (C2), noting that the larger diameter
pipe is for the exhaust, securing both pipes
to the cowl / co-linear to coaxial adaptor
rmly with pipe clamps (D).
Feed the exi-liner ue pipes down the
chimney ensuring that exhaust pipe (A) is
on the right when being viewed from the
front of the replace. Once the pipe ends
are accessible from re place, the cowl /
co-linear to coaxial adaptor components
may then be secured and weather sealed in
place.
At the re place attach both exhaust pipe
(A) and inlet pipe (B) ues to the engines
spigot plate (E), noting again that the larger
diameter pipe is for the exhaust, when
viewed from the front this will be to the right.
Secure both pipes to the spigot plate (E)
rmly with pipe clamps (F).
IMPORTANT
A horizontal masonry installation MUST use a horizontal masonry terminal mount to a󰀩x the

Step 4. Positioning the Heater Engine
Before installing the heater, check it is labelled for the
correct gas type, (refer to the gas type label on the top
body panel of the heater). Refer to the local gas authority
for conrmation of gas type if you are in doubt.
Place the heater engine in front of the replace enclosure.
HINT
A panel from the cardboard packing carton
placed on the oor underneath the heater
will help prevent possible damage to
ooring.
Step 5. Connect Electrical Supply
Ensure that the external isolation switch is OFF before
connecting the power to the heater engine.
Step 6. Prepare Gas Supply
Remove the threaded brass plug from the S/S exi pipe
consumer gas supply pipe.
Step 7. Insert Heater Engine Into Fireplace
Position the heater engine so that the outer edges of the
spigot plate (E) can be aligned with the guide rails (G) on
to of the engine. Then carefully move the heater engine
into the replace ensuring that the gas supply pipe and
ttings (H) feed into the rear access hole and that the
outer edges of the spigot plate (E) engage the guide rails
(G).
Use two screw bolts (I) located in the upper ange of the
heater to engage the nutserts installed in the front tab of
the spigot plate (E).
The tighten these screw bolts, to pull the spigot plate (E)
forward and allows the six locating / locking tabs (J) of
the engine to engage the corresponding holes (K) of
the spigot plate (E) and form a seal between the ue
components and the engine.
CAUTION
Take care so that the electrical cord loosely
coils up behind the heater engine to avoid
pinching.
Step 8. Securing The Heater Engine
Fasten the heater to the masonry work using appropriate
fasteners (not supplied) using the three holes across the
top of the fascia assembly mounting panel and the 3 holes
on each side of the side panels as shown (L).
Step 9. Connecting Gas
Continue to “CONNECTING GAS” on page 23.

FALSE FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
WARNING
When installing the Rinnai Ember into a purpose built mock chimney or chase, which is not open
to the roof space of the building, you will need to add cavity vents.
Heat from the re lost through the outer skin of the appliance and the ue system will not be able
to adequately vent. This can lead to a build-up of excess heat in the cavity. In some cases the re
may overheat and the overheat safety mechanisms may operate.
Adding two vents of at least 200 cm2 one at oor level and one at ceiling level, will allow adequate
airow in a cavity of approximately 1.2 m wide x 2.4 m high and 0.8 m deep. An additional benet
is that the ventilation of the cavity will return some of this heat Into the room.
IMPORTANT
Read this manual thoroughly and gain a full understanding of the requirements before undertaking
installation. Ensure gas supply to heater is turned o󰀨 for the rst stages of this instruction.
