Important Tips for heater selection
Energy Star Ratings
Energy Star ratings are an industry wide independent rating
that gives an indication of how eciently a heater operates.
The more stars, the greater the eciency. Typically Portable
gas heaters have around 5.9 Stars with the majority of ued
heaters around 4.0 to 4.5 Stars. Some older type heaters are
not as ecient, however they still perform extremely well
with large heat outputs.

Running Costs
Rinnai gas heaters are designed to be highly ecient, and
when used correctly, are a very economical form of home
heating. The running cost of gas heaters compare very well
to other forms of heating. Straight electric heating is by far
the most expensive, with both gas heaters and electric
reverse cycle heaters comparatively less expensive.
When comparing diering forms of heating in relation to
running costs, it is important that the comparison is based
on the same kW output of heat. Once we are comparing
‘apples with apples’, the calculation of the running cost is
then based on the energy used (kW input) to achieve that
output. The actual taris that are charged are listed on
energy bills.

The Environment
In Australian homes, heating & cooling amounts to around
23% of household energy use – second only to hot water.
Gas is one of the most greenhouse friendly fuel sources
available and selection of a Rinnai gas heater can assist
with our global need to reduce carbon emissions. In
addition, the better insulated your home, the less work the
heater needs to do, the less gas you will use and the less
impact on the environment.

Selecting the right heater
It is very important that careful consideration is given to selecting the correct model/size of any heater. Critical factors such as the
area to be heated, along with specic design and insulation characteristics of a home must all be considered. On the next page
there is a heater selector relating to correct sizing or you can use our on-line version at www.rinnai.com.au. In general, heater sizing
should be based on the kW output of the heater. As a very rough guide to heating performance (based on our heating zones):
Very Cold Zone:1 kW output will heat approx 8.5m
Cold Zone:1 kW output will heat approx 10m
Cool Zone:1 kW output will heat approx 13m
Mild Zone:1 kW output will heat approx 16m

i.e. a 7.3 kW output heater in a Cool Zone will heat approx 95m

The MJ input of heaters should
not be used for comparison.
The kW output is the only true
‘apples for apples’ method.
As an example, a 25MJ input,
5.9 Star heater has a larger
heat output than a 25MJ 3.1
Star heater.

step 1 climate
Pictured on the right is a climate
map of Australia that shows four
winter climate zones relevant to
Rinnai Heaters; Mild, Cool, Cold
and Very Cold. It is important that
you choose the correct zone that
suits an application, as it directly
relates to the performance of
the heater. Detailed State maps
can be found on the ‘heater
selector’ page of our website:
www.rinnai.com.au.
step 2 heating area
It is also important that you
consider the size of the heating
area. This includes adjacent
rooms through permanently
open doorways and hallways.
On pages 10-12 you will nd the
approximate maximum area that
the unit will heat based on the
climate zones (ie. Step 1).
step 3 heat loss
Not all homes will have all of the
features listed in the table to

As an example, you wish to purchase a Slimfire gas log flame fire, live in the ‘Cool’
zone, and have an area to heat of 65m2. The recommended ‘Heats up to’ capacity
for this model is 68m2, however you also have no carpets on the floor and a house
built on stumps. The heat loss total percentage is -10% (-5% + -5% = -10%) which is
deducted from the 68m2 (the capacity of your heater) as a % to reduce it to 61m2. This
will no longer heat your desired 65m2. The next model up is the Royale Inbuilt with a
‘Heats up to’ capacity of 93m2, less the 10% heat loss = 84m2, which will adequately
heat the area.

Range Overview - Flued Heaters
Flued Heaters utilise ueing to ensure there are no indoor emissions. They can oer powerful heat output and there are many
energy ecient product varieties. Flued heaters utilise 2 forms of heating - Convection heat or Radiant and Convection heat.
Energysavers
• Convection heat
• Highly energy ecient with full set’n’forget operation
• Powerful ‘room-sealed’ heaters for optimum indoor air quality
• Range of sizes with exible power ue installation options

– easy changeover
Important Installation Guidelines - Flued Heaters
All Flued gas heaters must be installed by a licensed plumber/gas tter.
Other guidelines for Flued heaters include:
• It is mandatory to use Rinnai proprietary ueing for all Rinnai Energysaver® heaters.
ueing will not only compromise performance and void warranty, but could have serious safety related
consequences
• All Flued Space Heaters (Ultima II, Spectrum & 2001) use standard ‘o-the-shelf’ ueing components
supplied by the installer
• Room sizing is only dependant on the heat load required
• If in doubt, it is best to slightly oversize a Flued Heater and let the thermostat do its work
• Installation of Flued Heaters is limited to the exibility of the ueing system and therefore heaters cannot
always be positioned where desired
• Some States of Australia require that a certicate of compliance is given to the end-user for both new
and changeover installations
• All installations of Flued gas heaters must comply with the Australian Standard AS5601 – Gas Installations

Generic Heating Features & Functions
There are many diering features that are available with Rinnai gas heating appliances. The following pages give an overview of
each feature, the benets gained and a brief explanation of how they work. For a specic list of which features apply to a particular
product, please refer to the specications starting on page 13.
Thermostatic Heat Control
Often referred to as set’n’forget, thermostatic control means that the heater will
modulate up and down to ensure a set temperature is maintained, for greater comfort.
Manual Heat Control
This applies to heater models that have a number of predetermined settings that you
can select from. Some heaters have a Low/Med/High option while others can have up
to 6 manual settings.
Timers
Models with timers have one of the following:
Dual Weekday & Weekend Timers
Set the heater to come on and o in the mornings & evenings for the weekdays
Monday to Friday. Additionally, dierent times can be set for the weekend when
people prefer to get up a little later.
Dual Timers
Set the heater to come on and o in the mornings & evenings (or any other selected
dual periods). Timers are set separately allowing you to operate with both, just one or
none at all.
Multiple Timers (4 Periods)
Where 4 periods per day can be set at varying temperatures. Ideal for mornings when
waking and coming home of an evening, with the other 2 periods usually set as a
minimum desired temperature during the day and overnight. In addition, each day of
the week can have a dierent setting, making these timers the most exible available
Delay Timer (FDT)
This feature is only available with the “FDT” range of Energysaver Power Flued heaters
and is usually only used for commercial application such as schools etc. Factory
ordered & preset, the delay timer automatically shuts the heater o after a
predetermined (programmed) time of either 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10 or 12 hour intervals. As an
additional feature, a central relay timer can be programmed to operate multiple
heaters.
Please contact Rinnai on 1300 555 545 for further information on Delay Timer
(FDT) programming
Preheat Feature
This function will automatically operate the appliance before the programmed start
time of the timer, in order to heat a room to the pre-set temperature by the
programmed start time. This means that the heater may activate up to 1 hour prior to
the programmed start time.
Economy Button
The Economy (ECON) function is an energy saving feature. It gradually reduces the
heat settings once the room has maintained the set temperature for a period of 1
hour. Many people operate heaters at a higher temperature initially when they are
cold, but forget to turn them down later.
Features

Page 7
Auto O Feature
The auto-o feature found on some of our Energysavers® and Space Heaters is only relevant when the minimum heat setting of the
heater still has too much heat output to maintain the set temperature. If the auto-o feature is activated, the heater would turn o
rather than continue to heat the room above the set temperature.
Override Button
The override button is only used when a heater has programmed timers set. It allows you to manually activate the heater outside
of the programmed times without disruption to the settings (i.e: if someone comes home early from work/school).
Child Lock or Lock Button
A feature that ensures that children cannot activate or play with the heater. If the lock is activated when the appliance is turned OFF
then all functions are locked. If the lock is activated when the heater is in operation, then only the OFF button will function. There
are two types of child lock activations:
1. Single button which must be held down for about 3 seconds until there is a beep
2. Some models require the user to push 2 buttons simultaneously to lock and unlock the feature
Either method is dicult for young children to accidently activate.
Lockable Panel
The commercial Energysaver® FDT models
have a key lockable control panel lid. This is
primarily to ensure that programmed times
and/or temperature settings are not
adjusted by the public.
Filter Indicator Light
When the fan lters become covered with
dust, the lter indicator will ash. The lters
on all heaters should be vacuumed at
regular intervals to optimise heating
eectiveness.
Additional Safety features
Over heat switch
When the heater gets too hot during operation (for example when the lters or air outlet louvres are blocked) this
device turns the gas o automatically
Flame failure sensor
This device automatically cuts o the gas supply to the heater in the event of a gas failure
Power failure
In the event of a power failure or power cut, the gas valves on thermostatic models will automatically close and shut
o the gas supply.

240V power is required with all models and a power cord & plug is tted. In most cases this cord is on the right hand side. To hide the power cord, it is permissible
to have the unit ‘hardwired’ behind wall cavities as long as it is in accordance with the Standard AS/NZS3000 and done by a qualied electrical tradesperson such
as an electrician. In short, this means that it must be wired with an accessible double pole isolation switch.
