Location
The main points governing location are ueing and warm air distribution. The heater must not
be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the
appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining. Refer next page for clearance details.
The heater must be positioned on a at level surface. For installations further up the wall, the
heater needs to be supported, either construct a base using board or support with joists.
These are the minimum dimensions required if using the width, height
and depth dimensions above.

Up-wall installations
If the Symmetry is being installed up the wall and close to the ceiling, the recommended
minimum clearance is 1000 mm.
Non-combustible cladding
Non-combustible cladding such as 9 mm Eterpan MD1 (extending at least the full width of
the appliance and 400 mm in height) to be installed directly above the re as shown. This is
required to minimise the risk of scorching or re in the event of a power failure (fan will stop
running and hot air will rise directly above the unit).
1 9mm Eterpan MD (medium density) is supplied by PBS Ltd (www.pbs.co.nz). Other materials may also be
suitable, please seek advice from a cladding supplier as to the correct application and specication of the material.

BMantel depth at 400 mm (vertical clearance) 300 mm maximum
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth, there must be an additional 100 mm of vertical clearance. For
example; a mantel depth (B) of 350 mm will require 500 mm (A) of vertical clearance.
CSurround from side of replace 300 mm minimum
DSurround projection at 300 mm (side clearance) 50 mm maximum
For every 50 mm of added surround projection, there must be an additional 50 mm of side clearance. For
example; a surround projection (D) of 100 mm will require 350 mm (C) of side clearance.

TV installation above a replace
If installing a at screen TV above the re the main issue is heat. Heat from the re and heat
from the ueing components that sit behind the TV, especially if recessed.
The Symmetry RDV3610 has 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. The following are recommended minimum clearances when installing
a TV directly above the Symmetry RDV3610 or into a recess. All dimensions are in mm.

Directly Above Recessed
The 400 mm dimension is the
minimum clearance required to
combustibles and to a mantel.
For a TV mounted directly above
the Symmetry RDV3610, the
mantel must be at least the
depth of the TV to deect the
heat away from the appliance.
It is up to the owner to check the TV installation instructions with the TV supplier to verify
clearances. Some TV manufacturers 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.

Using the dimension drawing below and the information on pages 5-8, construct a frame.
A 25 mm clearance is required around the unit (sides and back).

Electrical connection
The standard electrical connection is to the right side of the
front of the appliance. If necessary this can be changed by an
electrician to terminate on the left. The appliance must not be
located immediately below a socket outlet (potential re hazard).
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 ap-
pliance has been installed.
The electrical cord is not re rated and should not come into contact with the re. 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.
250 mm
The 540 mm minimum dimension will
give a 25 mm clearance (plus) from the
back of the unit.
