LOCATION

When positioning the heater, the main points governing the location are:

1. Flueing.

2. Warm air distribution.

3. The heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come
into contact with it. In some cases, curtains may need restraining.
See below for minimum clearances required.

4. The heater is not designed to be built into bookcases or shelves or any combustible
opening.

5. Under no circumstances must combustible materials be present on the inside of the
fireplace recess or flueway.
Note: A Rinnai Zero Clearance kit is available where the heater is required to be installed
in close proximity to combustible framing.

6. The heater must be mounted on a hearth no less than 50mm. high and the width and
depth of heater.

7. Check that room ventilation complies with local regulations.

8. Check that an EARTHED power point is within 1500mm. of the right hand side of the
heater.

Your new Flame Fire is designed to be installed in a masonry fire place.
The appliance can also be built into a non-masonry application by installing a
Rinnai Zero Clearance box and an approved flue system.

FLUEING

6

Rinnai strongly recommends that this appliance be installed with an approved
flue liner system in all installations.

Installation without a flue liner is however permissible into masonry chimneys only after physical inspection
and testing of the chimney to set criteria. Installation of this appliance into a chimney that fails to meet this
criteria will not only void the product warranty, but is highly likely to impede product performance.

The following criteria must be met in all cases:-

Internal Criteria:

• Allow sufficient height above the firebox to enable the debris diverter (See page 8) to be fully operational

(ie. open 45°). Failure to do so will result in incomplete combustion and emissions discharged into the
room.

• All loose/broken bricks must be repaired ensuring the chimney is of sound construction and free from

leakage. Failure to do so may result in emission discharge into the room.

• The chimney must be free of soot and creosote accumulation resulting from previous slow combustion

wood fires. It must also be clear of all blockages and swept prior to installation.

• Any damper plate must be fixed in the open position or removed.

• Any underfloor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off to prevent secondary air draw.

External Criteria:

• An approved chimney cap and cowl must be installed with this appliance. If there is an existing cap, it must

be free of defects/deterioration and repaired if found to be faulty.

• Inadequate chimney height can also effect product performance. Some applications may require the

chimney height to be extended to reduce possible down drafts.

• A flue draft smoke test must be carried out to confirm that an updraft occurs and the flue system is sound.

There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the test. Inside,
upstairs and/or adjacent rooms should also be checked.

If any of the above criteria is not met, a Rinnai approved flue liner system
must be installed.
