LOCATION
When positioning the heater, the main variables governing the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.
The Rinnai SS850 freestanding models have an additional metal wrap which signicantly reduces unwanted heat
transfer. This means the unit can be installed into tight spaces, can be built-in, and can be positioned close to walls
if the building materials are suitable. For further information on material selection refer pages 8 and 9.
Combustible clearances
The heater MUST NOT be installed where
curtains, furniture or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the re while it is
operating. The side clearance, measured from the
edge of the cabinet, includes side walls. The 1000
mm clearance is in front of the re.
The general clearances shown in the adjacent
diagrams (with cabinet base) apply to all the Rinnai
SS850 Freestanding models.
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. For
more information refer page 8.
Floor protection
Heat radiating from the re may a󰀨ect the
appearance of some materials used for ooring
such as vinyl planks, carpet, cork, or timber. To
avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat be
placed in front.
IMPORTANT
Carpet MUST NOT be tted hard
up against the re as it will a󰀨ect
operation.
Surrounds
Combustible surrounds require clearance from the
unit to minimise the risk of re. They are allowed
providing they are outside the minimum clearances
shown.

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, therefore
material selection is important. Some guidelines are detailed below. For example, vinyl planks are often only rated
for ambient temperatures. Consequently, the heater would not be suitable for installation directly on that ooring
type.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLES
Freestander installed on a combustible platform.
Depending on material, refer table on page 8. The platform could
extend 150 mm or 100 mm maximum in front of the re. This is
dimension E in the table.
The height of the platform would need to be at least 150 mm or 240
mm high. This is dimension F in the table.
Freestander installed on a non-combustible oating
hearth.
Only requirement for non-combustible material is a 50 mm clearance
from the back of the re to the wall.
If the material is rated 50 °C or less (above ambient) then:
• 50 mm clearance from the back of the re to the wall and 50
mm side and top clearance.
• In front, hearth could extend 100 mm or 150 mm maximum,
this is dimension E in the table on page 8.
Freestander with plinth base installed on wooden oor.
Using the table on the page 8 there would be no restrictions except
a 50 mm clearance from the back of the re to the wall. The plinth
automatically gives the 240 mm minimum clearance from the bottom of
the re to the wooden ooring—this is dimension F in the table.
Freestander installed in an alcove.
If all materials are non-combustible then the only restrictions are:
• 50 mm clearance from the back of the re to the wall
• 500 mm minimum clearance above and to the sides, and
that the material above the re is the same as the material to
the sides of the re.
• The ue requires a 25 mm clearance.
If the material is rated 50 degrees Celsius or below then the
parameters in the table and the material selection calculations, on
the previous pages apply.

may be required. A minimum of four screws,
two front and back, are required.
Do not x the re in place yet unless there is
su󰀩cient room behind the re to get a screwdriver
in to x the back panel in place.
Make the cabinet.
Working on a at surface, assemble the outer
cabinet panels as shown on the next page. Make
sure the cabinet is square and that the top surfaces
are ush with each other.
Fix the cabinet to the re and check aer-
ation.
Unpack the re as per instructions on page 14.
To make the re lighter and easier to manage,
remove the glass front, log set, and ceramic panels
from the inside of the combustion chamber.
Before doing anything else, check the aeration
plate setting, refer previous page.
Fix the cabinet (make sure panels are ush,
especially on the front and sides) to the re, either:
• Lay the re on its back and t the cabinet
using nine screws, stand it up and x in
place, or
• Fix the cabinet to the oor, t the cube onto
the cabinet, and x in place.
Connect services and commission.
Before adding the cabinet cover panels (see
next page), connect the power and gas. There
is a second stainless steel exi tube connector
supplied with the cabinet kit to make connection
easier. Commission as per the commissioning
instructions on page 30.

PLINTH INSTALLATION
Mounting area and mounting plate
1. Mark the ue centre on the oor.
2. Place the base mount panel on the oor and line up with the centre marks, and mark the area for power and
gas to enter. The alternate power and gas options shown in the cube installation also apply here.
3. Check there is su󰀩cient timber under the screw mounting holes to provide adequate retention. If necessary,
underoor blocking may be required. A minimum of four screws, two front and back, are required.
Prepare Services
For best results the gas and power can be supplied
through the plinth and into the base of the re. The
power will need to be hard wired.
Bring enough cable through the oor to reach at least
100 mm above the top of the plinth. Bring the gas
supply through to within approximately 50 mm of the
top of the plinth, are the pipe, and t the supplied
exi tube. This should be leak tested now as access
through the back panel is limited once the re is
installed. The alternative is to drill a hole in the back
of the re for the gas supply and to remove the notch
for the power cord.

Assemble outer plinth panels
Working on a at surface assemble the outer plinth panels as shown. Take care to ensure the plinth is square and
that the top surfaces are ush with each other.
Fit panels to the base mounting plate
Fit the plinth to the base mounting plate by lifting the back edge of the plinth and sliding the front edge under the
front lip of the base plate, then setting the edge back down. Hold in place with three screws.
Fix re base plate to plinth
Fix the re base plate to the top of the plinth assembly using the sti󰀨ening rails as shown. Fit the second exi pipe
supplied with the re if required.
Check aeration setting
Check that the correct aeration shutter plates are tted, (refer to page 15). It is still possible to change the
aeration setting once the re is installed, however it is much easier to do this beforehand.
