or the Remote Control.
Ignition
Start the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button for at least one
second until the red light on the control panel comes on.
NOTE

OPERATIONAL SAFETY
This appliance is factory tested and the installation MUST BE tested by an authorised installer. You should not
experience any odour from your appliance other than initial burn off smell the rst time it is used. Should any odour
persist after the initial burn in, turn off the gas supply and arrange for an authorised person to make a service call.
This appliance has a ame failure safety system which ensures that in the event of an ignition failure, gas supply
failure or ame being extinguished for any reason, the appliance will shut down. The appliance will attempt to re-
start automatically.
LOCK OUT
If the appliance fails to re-ignite then the appliance will “lock out” and will need to be re-set manually by pressing
the ON/OFF button twice to re-set and re-start the ignition sequence.
Wait at least 10 seconds before re-starting the appliance and if the appliance fails to ignite after 3 attempts then
turn off the power and refer to the trouble shooting section on page 24.
NOTE
This appliance burns with a real ame and as such there are considerations to be made to ensure
the safety of children and the inrm. In such circumstances a re guard should be secured in front
of the appliance. Furniture and other objects must not be placed within 1 metre of the replace.

BURNER MEDIA
The burner media MUST BE positioned correctly by the installer. It is not intended that these are re-positioned by
the user. Incorrect positioning can affect heat output and ignition.
ONLY burner media supplied by the manufacturer may be used in this appliance.
Due to the nature of luminous ames used in this appliance, a slight build up of carbon (soot) may be seen. This
is quite normal and will not affect the performance of the appliance.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, your appliance cannot be operated.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of your appliance is important to keep it looking its best. Some points on cleaning:
• All of the exterior painted panels can be cleaned using household cleaners.
• The black interior panels and the burner media may develop a slight build up of soot, this is quite normal and
might burn off over time. Do not try to remove the soot by rubbing with a cloth as this will only spread the soot
around.
• Do not vacuum the burner media, especially the Log & coal bed, any reduction or modication of the burner
media installed can effect the performance and or damage the appliance
• The stainless steel reectors and front panel (if tted) can be cleaned using a household stainless steel cleaner.
WHEN TO CALL FOR SERVICE
There are a few things to look out for that could indicate that your appliance requires a service call.
• If long streaky ames are touching the top of the rebox, this can cause the paint to blister and possibly damage
the appliance.
• If you can smell gas, regardless of whether the appliance is going or not.
NOTE
There can be a brief smell of gas as the appliance is going through the ignition sequence, however
this should soon stop once the appliance has started.
Abnormal Flame Pattern
• If the pilot ame looks abnormal. Signs of abnormal pilot operation could be:
A very short ame that does not reach across to the ame rod.
A very long ame that reaches far beyond the ame rod or long yellow ames.
A roaring noise when the pilot is operating or the ame “lifting off” from the
pilot head.
• If there are large soot deposits that keep building up on the burner media.
• If there is excessive noise or explosive ignition as the burner lights, this could
be due to blocked burner ports.
• If a smell of ue gas continues after the appliance has been operating for at
least 10 minutes. This could indicate a blocked ue or other problem. This
smell is acceptable during the rst few minutes as the ue heats up and starts
to draw.
• If the ames change shape or colour. When the appliance rst starts the
ames will tend to be quite blue for a few minutes but will change to a more
yellow/orange colour as the system heats up, this is normal, but if the ames
either stay very blue, or turn a dark , streaky orange colour, this could indicate
a problem. Contact Rinnai for advice.
SERVICE
In order for your appliance to give years of comfort and enjoyment, it is recommend that it is serviced on an annual
basis by a licensed service gas-tter. Please refer to the back of this manual for contact details.

IMPORTANT
The ue and engine must be installed before the wall can be lined. Remember that both gas and
electricity are required within the cavity (see, “Gas & Electrical Supplies” on page 12).
The framing must be self supporting and not place any load on the engine.
The framing shown is indicative only is not intended to illustrate the construction method. The
installation shows one ue option (using the optional Y-Piece) but does not represent a complete
system.
The appliance should be installed on a solid platform.
Gas and power supply must enter through the left hand end of the engine when viewed from the
open side.
Refer to the next section for notes on external wall installation.
When engine installation is complete, the tting of cardboard from the packaging material to the
front anges on both sides of the appliance with some low-tac masking tape will help to protect
the appliance from dust, paint, etc. of subsequent construction drawing into the appliance or
marking the glass.

Important Note:
If fire is to be installed on an external wall, an
additional piece of glass is required that is at least
25mm larger than the flange of the fire (1350 x 650)
and can be fixed to the fire using an adhesive or
double sided tape rated to at least 120°C.

EXTERNAL WALL INSTALLATION
The following information is for guidance only and is in no way intended as a means of compliance to regulatory or
local building codes. Design of any ashing or other means of weather proong the wall penetration is entirely the
responsibility of the designer/architect/builder.
NOTE
Any tape or adhesive used for xing the glass to the appliance must be able to withstand
temperatures of at least 120°C
Any tape or adhesive should only be applied to the outer 20~25mm of the appliance anges
Any product used in contact with the glass must be capable of performing at temperatures
not less than 120°C and should not come within 35mm of the top inside edge of the appliance.
Temperatures on the side anges allow closer contact.
If the designed ashing will not fully conceal the engine side anges, an optional overlay is
available to cover the holes for the trim latches and the upper hanger slots.
There is no air intake or outlet on the glass side of the appliance so there is no concern about
blocking the side of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
It is important that the glass is sealed against the appliance to prevent hot air owing up into any
combustible materials used directly above the appliance - a secondary means of protection may
be required. It is not necessary for the glass to be permanently xed to the appliance so long as
the glass is held in place independently of the appliance and a seal between the two is maintained
and the seal can withstand temperatures in excess of 120°C.
The ashing can be designed to act as a trim to conceal the edges of the appliance but must not protrude into the
viewing area of the appliance where it will be exposed to the radiant heat given off the burner and upper louvre
or the conducted heat of the glass. This means no more than 15mm in from the side anges, and 10mm from the
upper edge. The lower edge can be covered by as much as 200mm from the base of the appliance.
