GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
LOCATION
When positioning the heater, the main variables governing
the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.
This heater MUST NOT be installed where curtains or
other combustible materials could come into contact with
it. In some cases curtains may need restraining. Refer to
"General Safety Warnings" on page 6 for additional
safety considerations.
Horizontal and vertical clearances are
measured from the edge of the burner box
glass.
Combustible mantles and surrounds can be added to
compliment the design provided that they conform to the
following clearances requirements.
The minimum clearance from the edge of the burner box
glass is 400 mm. The depth of the mantle or surround (A)
at this minimum clearance may not exceed 250 mm.
An additional 100 mm of clearance is required for every
extra 50 mm of mantle depth. The depth of the mantle
or surround (B) at 500 mm of clearance may not exceed
300 mm.
Refer to the section "Wall Lining Installation" starting on
page 27 for additional information.
Refer "Cavity Ventilation" on page 9 for cavity ventilation
details.

TV & ORNAMENTATION WARNING
INSTALLATION OF TV OR ORNAMENTATION ABOVE THE HEATER
The installation of electrical appliances above and in the vicinity of the heater such as, but
not limited to, Plasma TV, LCD TV, Home Theatre Screens, Speakers, etc must comply with
their manufacturers' instructions. It is the responsibility of the installer/end-user to check the
installation instructions of these items and to ensure the location is suitable.
This caution also extends to, but is not limited to, ornaments such as: Paintings, Prints,
Photographs, Tapestries, Mirrors, Stued Animals, etc.
Please note the recommended clearances as per the diagram above. The temperature of the wall
surface directly above the appliance may be elevated and may discolour paint nishes or distort
vinyl wall coverings. For durability of surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for
their specication.
RINNAI DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OCCURRING TO
ANY ITEMS INSTALLED ABOVE AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE HEATER.
Use either a shelf or mantle below the TV or ornament or alternately you can construct a recess
to mount TV or ornament in. Check the manufacturers installation instructions for these items
and ensure the recess is suitable.

FRAMING
FRAMING DIMENSIONS
Framework of the installation must conform to local building codes. Non-combustible materials need not be used.
If the appliance is elevated from the ground within the structure, a base must be constructed using suitable material
with supporting joists capable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the appliance.
AS/NZS 5601 “GAS INSTALLATIONS” requires that ue components be supported independently
of the appliance.
For the following framing dimensions it is important to be aware that the studs are oset—the cavity needs to be
framed based on the centreline of the glass, not the opening size.
Base Board and Cut-outs
To ensure everything lines up and ts properly, it is recommended that on the base the following dimensions are
pencilled; glass centreline, unit depth centreline, feet position, gas and room thermistor cut-outs.

E Gas supply / thermistor access - from front of enclosure* 77 77 77
CAVITY VENTILATION
Ventilation of at least 2000 mm² is recommended in the cavity ideally below the base of the heater engine. This
is to provide room air at ambient room temperature to the re thermistor located in the base of the heater engine.
Ventilation can be via a vent or an open toe kick at the base of the cavity, however it MUST be in the same room
and wall cavity as the heater.
Additionally the top of the cavity needs to be ventilated into the room or another space. This ventilation opening
MUST be at least 2000 mm². This opening is to prevent heat build-up within the cavity, which if left unventilated
could potentially cause damage to wall surfaces or coverings and / or cause the appliance to cut out.

ADDITIONAL FRAMING NOTES
Plaster board is set 1 mm back from the front edge of the frame to allow for a slim edge plaster nish.
To ensure the appliance performs correctly, without rattling, the heater engine MUST be installed on a at level
support base.
Issues caused by rattling res not installed on a at level base, as detailed in this guide, will NOT
be covered by warranty.

Studs and joists are required directly below the support feet of the appliance.
Framing shown is 90 x 45 mm.
Fire platform shown is 18 mm plywood.
Allow room underneath the appliance for the gas supply to enter the re cavity (min. 100 mm).
The framing dimensions have the studs oset. This is because the cavity needs to be framed
based on the centreline of the Linear glass, NOT the opening size.
Where there is a requirement for a symmetrical installation, the cavity size will need to increase,
