For efficient performance Rinnai recommends
installing the fire as close to the floor as possible.
If the unit is installed higher up the wall the
movement of air from the convection fan,
depending on the room configuration, could
create draughts.

Enclosure dimensions
Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance, as well as other gas
appliances in the premises. The gas supply termination is inside the heater, and
enters from the lower right hand side of the appliance.
Purging the gas supply
Foreign materials and debris such as swarf,
filings etc. must be purged from the gas
supply. Failure to do so may cause damage to
the control valve causing it to malfunction.
Gas connection
A small spanner has been provided, located
in the commissioning pouch on top of the
PCB cover, to help with the gas connection as
space is quite tight. Please return the spanner
to the pouch when finished.
The use of a rubber hose for any gas
connection to a fixed appliance is not
authorised by the manufacturer.
The Ember must be positioned within the enclosure on a flat level surface that
allows free movement of the appliance. The enclosure must be capable of
supporting 1.5 times the weight of the Ember.

The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the glass, are
minimum clearances unless otherwise stated.
The below diagrams are to assist people in determining the clearance area around the Ember
without having the unit on site. The 4-sided frame is shown as this is the frame used in mock
chimney installations, which typically have mantels and surrounds made of combustible material.
The 4-sided frame sits approximately 26 mm below the engine, refer dimension diagrams.
While the heater is operating
The appliance must not be installed where
curtains or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the heater.
The 400 mm side clearance includes side
walls. The 1000 mm clearance is in front of
the fire.
Floor protection
Heat from this fire may over time affect
the appearance of some materials used
for flooring, such as, carpet, vinyl, cork
or timber. This may be amplified if the air
contains cooking vapours or cigarette
smoke. To avoid this occurring, it is
recommended that a mat be placed in
front of the appliance.
Mantels and surrounds
Combustible mantels and surrounds
require clearance from the unit to
minimise the risk of fire. Mantels and
surrounds, made of combustible materials
such as wood, are allowed providing they
are outside the minimum clearances
shown.

Burn media installation
Adding the glass and vermiculite
Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems
are caused by burn media being installed incorrectly. Please take
the time to read and follow these instructions as malfunctioning
due to incorrect burn media placement is not covered by
warranty.
The Ember MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn
media that is damaged.
Ember 600/700 burn media sets - they are different and can’t be interchanged
The Ember 600 and 700 burn media sets are different. The Ember 600 stone set has six less
stones and the log set is narrower and shorter—ensure you have the correct kit before starting.
Ember 600 log set Ember 700 log set
Back log
Front log
This step is common to both models and both types of burn media. It requires
removing the upper burn media tray to access the mesh holding tray.
1. Unscrew the left and right tray screws to lift off the upper mesh holding tray.
2. Carefully empty the bags of vermiculite and glass into the mesh tray, blend
and level out.
3. Put the upper tray back in place and re-tighten the screws.

Log set installation
The log set is packaged separately and consists of five log pieces. Use extreme care
when handling the logs, they are made from fragile material and will damage easily.
While the log set for the Ember 600 and 700 are different (Ember 600 is smaller),
the installation steps are the same—the 700 has been used in these instructions.

Step 1: Back log
Place the back log onto the two log location brackets at the back of the burner. The charred side
faces to the front.
Step 2: Adding the granules and rockwool
Place, DO NOT POUR, the granules, ensuring even coverage around the burner ports (so as not to
cause blockages). For the 700 you will need both granule packs, for the 600 it’s about a bag and
three quarters. Pinch and roll the rockwool into pea-sized balls (600 ≈ 35, 700 ≈ 50) and place inbetween the granules. These can go over the burner ports as the material is designed for the flame
to penetrate through the ceramic fibres to enhance the flame picture and produce a glow effect
.

Step 3: Front log
Add the front log onto the two log locating pins inside the grill. It should sit securely into the gap.
Before adding the log set make sure the vermiculite and glass packets have been added into the
burn media tray (refer previous page), and that it has been secured back in place. All the logs
have locating pins making it possible to only fit one way onto the burner.

Step 4: Adding the granules and rockwool
Place, DO NOT POUR, the granules, ensuring even coverage around the burner ports (so as not to
cause blockages). You will use approx. one bag of granules for both models (a bag will be leftover).
Pinch and roll the rockwool into pea-sized balls (600 ≈ 20, 700 ≈ 30) and place in-between the
granules. These can go over the burner ports as the material is designed for the flame to penetrate
through the ceramic fibres to enhance the flame picture and produce a glow effect.

Commissioning
Installing the frame
The gas pressures must be checked against those printed on the data plate of the
appliance. The pressures are factory set and may not require adjustment. When
checking the operating pressures the combustion chamber glass must be on.
The commissioning sheet, and a 19 mm small
spanner for the gas connection, is located in a
plastic pouch inside the unit on top of the PCB
cover.
Follow the commissioning instructions to complete
the gas pressure checks. When commissioning is
complete check for full and correct operation of the
appliance, and return the commissioning sheet to
its plastic pouch.

Test operation and lighting sequence
It may take approximately two hours of operation for the burn media to achieve their full
flame pattern and glow. During the initial burning in period, some smoke and smell may
be experienced. The appliance should run on the high setting in a well ventilated room
until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern during this time.
Abnormal flame pattern
Abnormal flame performance and/or pattern can
indicate a problem with your fire, such as blocked
gas injectors, or that the burn media has shifted.
There are some warning signs that could indicate
a problem.
- Unusual smell from the appliance
- Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a
flame
- Flame appears either very short or very long
Normal flame pattern
- Flame only burns part way across the burner
- Severe soot building up on the inside of the
glass door
Important
It is the responsibility of the installer to check that
under normal conditions of the appliance, all flue
gases are exhausted to the outside atmosphere,
and that there is no spillage of combustion gases
into the room.
If the appliance cannot be made to perform
correctly please contact Rinnai.

WARNING
Flue terminal locations
Flue terminals must be compliant with the flue
terminal locations shown in AS/NZS 5601.1.
Every gas re requires a ue system that will draw eectively and clear
ue products safely under all potential wind and climatic conditions. It
is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the appliance is provided
with an eective ue.
Some guidelines to assist with ue design are detailed below. These
must be read and modied as necessary depending on the installation.
The Ember must be installed with an approved ue system, approved
components are shown in this guide.
General ueing guidelines
Flue clearance to combustibles
Flueing for the Rinnai Ember, depending on
the installation is comprised of three main
components:
- flexible aluminium flues that come straight
off the fire
- galvanised steel colinear to coaxial adaptor
(stainless steel inner)
- galvanised steel outer, aluminium inner
coaxial flue
These all have slightly different clearances to
combustibles.
Flue cowl clearance
To ensure products of combustion are
cleared, adequate clearance from the building
is required.
The flue cowl should have a 500 mm clearance
from any part of the building. This also applies
to steeped and pitched roofs where the flue
cowl should be 500 mm clear of the ridge
line. An adequate flow of fresh air must exist
around the flue cowl following installation.
Coaxial flue
10 mm from the outer flue to
a combustible surface to allow
for expansion and contraction
of the outer flue components.
Ember adaptor (transition)
25 mm clearance to a
combustible surface―the
underside of the adaptor has
zero clearance and can be
installed straight into wooden
support joists.
Ø 100 mm exhaust flexi flue
Requires a 50 mm clearance
to combustibles.
The flue cannot terminate under a floor or in a
roof space.
Self-supporting flue
The weight of the flue system should not be
supported by the appliance—it should be selfsupporting.
Supporting the flue is usually completed
during the framing stage with flue supports
or straps within the cavity. Wall straps have
been included in the Rinnai vertical flue kits.
Elbow straps are also available as a separate
component to prevent excess weight on the
flue elbow.
Horizontal runs of flue pipe
Horizontal runs of flue pipe must be
supported to prevent any downward sags.
Horizontal pipe sections should be supported
every 1.2 m. Wall straps can be used for this
purpose.
The horizontal run of flue pipe must
have a 20 mm rise for every 1 m of run
towards the flue termination, NEVER
allow the flue pipe to run downwards
towards the horizontal flue terminal.
A downward slope can trap heat and
become a fire hazard.
Shared flues
Gas appliances must not be connected to
a chimney or flue serving a separate fuel
burning appliance.
Flashings
Flashings are not included with the Ember
flue kits, these must be specified. The only
exception is the flashing kit provided in the
horizontal flue kit.

If doing a straight short vertical
flue (no bends) for a single
storey dwelling the mock

can be used (R3665).
Important notes
• For the horizontal flue terminal to comply with the required flue clearances, and to fit
under a 2.4 m eave, the maximum the fire can be installed above the floor is 400 mm.
Check clearances first before installation.
• The horizontal run of flue pipe must have a 20 mm rise for every 1 m towards the flue
termination. NEVER allow the flue pipe to run downwards towards the flue terminal. A
downwards slope can trap heat and become a fire hazard.
• The horizontal flue length must not be greater than the vertical.
