Gas connection
½ “ BSP, the gas supply terminates inside the
heater—lower left hand side of the appliance.
Ignition
Continuous spark electronic ignition.
Efciency = > 75% (all models on high)
Gas type = NG or ULPG
* Will vary according to gas type and ue conguration
** Will vary depending on geographical location in NZ
Suitability
Ideal for living rooms and open plan areas.
Versatile power ue system makes for easy
installation in almost any living space, including
bedrooms.
The Linear is ideal for a new build installation
into a false (mock) chimney.
Installation considerations
Room size—smaller rooms will heat up quickly,
and due to the efciency of the appliance, if in
thermostatic mode, will reduce to a low ame
prole.
Installation of the Linear higher up the wall, in
some room congurations, can create draughts
due the convection air being pushed out from
the top of the appliance.
Cavity ventilation at the bottom and top of the
installation cavity, refer p. 12 for further details.
Noise level
37-45 dB(A)
Power ue
Inner 50 mm, outer 70~80 mm. Appliance must
be installed with a Rinnai ue system.
Power consumption/electrical supply
High = 90 W
Standby = <8 W
The Linear has a 1.5 m power cord with a three
pin plug supplied. The power cord passes
through a slot in the right hand side of the
appliance.
Safety devices
Flame failure sensing system, pressure relief,
overheat safety switch, air temperature sensor,
thermal fuse, overcurrent fuse, and spark
detection.
Temperature control
The Linear can be operated using the basic
infra-red remote, or for more features, such as
timers and thermostatic control, using Rinnai’s
Wi-Fi replace controller app.
Convection fan
2-speed fan. Heat is distributed from the top of
the appliance.

Clearances from combustibles
The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the glass, are minimum
clearances unless otherwise stated.
400 mm
400 mm400 mm
1000 mm
While the heater is operating
The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into
contact with the re. The 400 mm side clearance includes side walls. The 1000 mm clearance is in
front of the re.
Floor protection
Heat emanating from this re may over time affect the appearance of some materials used for
ooring, such as, carpet, vinyl, cork or timber. This may be amplied 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.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
ooring if required. A hearth must not obscure the front of the re or obstruct the re in any way.
TV installation above the replace
Linear models have a fan that distributes warm air from the top of the appliance out into the room.
As warm air is dispersed outwards and not directly upwards, installation of a TV may be an option.
Generally the bottom of the television recess should be at least 400 mm above the re. Please
check with the television supplier to check clearances. Some television manufacturers have
warranty conditions that state a television is not to be installed above a replace.
For further information, refer to p. 10.

Clearances from combustibles
Combustible mantels and surrounds require clearance from the unit to minimise the
risk of re. Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible materials such as wood,
are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown.
A
C
A Mantel needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the glass
B Maximum mantel depth at 400 mm (A) is 250 mm maximum
C Surround needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the glass
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth there must be an additional 100 mm of clearance from the
edge of the glass. For example:
Mantel depth A: clearance required
300 mm 500 mm
350 mm 600 mm
400 mm 700 mm

The diagram shows recommended clearances when installing a TV directly above the Linear, or
into a recess. All dimensions are in millimetres.
Always check with the TV manufacturer
It is up to the owner to check the TV installation with the TV manufacturer—some 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.

Installation overview
Complete framing and base panel, p. 12-15.
Prepare gas and electrical connections, and cavity ventilation (refer next page).
Fit the Linear
Move the Linear into the cavity. Tip forward slightly to get the two back feet in rst. To reduce the
weight you can remove the glass rst (p. 19). The Linear as adjustable feet on all corners. Use
these feet to level the re. This is critical so the wall lining can be installed ush to the lips of the re.
Once level, secure the Linear to the base of the enclosure using the four brackets, which also act as
seismic restraints (p. 18).
Complete the gas connection
To access the gas connection and gas control, remove the screws holding the Wi-Fi panel in place
(refer image on p. 27 for Wi-Fi assembly position). At this stage also check the ue conguration to
see if a dip switch change is required. Check for gas leaks.
Fit the ue, refer p. 36-41 for more information.
Commission with the glass off
The commissioning sheet is located in a plastic pouch inside the unit on the base panel. Follow the
commissioning instructions. Commissioning needs to be done with the glass off (refer p. 19 on how
to remove), before the burn media is added and before the wall lining is installed.
Install the burn media
New build
Placement of the burn media is critical to the performance and safe operation of the appliance. Refer
p. 25 for more information, the separate burn media instructions and the colour burn media sheet
attached to the glass frame.
Install the glass front
Reinstall the glass front, check operation of the re, check the remote and Wi-Fi module is working
(p. 27).
Complete nal framing and install the wall lining
Complete the nal framing once you are satised the re is working correctly—there will be limited
access to the unit once nal framing is completed.
Install the wall lining as one piece (so it doesn’t crack), with a cutout for the glass, up to the lips of
the unit. DO NOT go over the lips. There is an air gap of at least 3 mm around the lips of the re,
which is CRITICAL to safe operation to ensure air ow in and around the unit.
Fix the wall lining in place. We recommend gluing as screws will transfer heat, and during installation
there is the potential to damage some controls of the re if screws are used, refer p. 28-33 for more
information.
N.B: For new builds the nal stage could be completed prior to commissioning.
HELPFUL
TIPS
To level the unit and not affect where the feet go, the seismic brackets need to be elevated once
the unit is off the pallet.
We STRONGLY recommend the gas is on to check the inlet pressure as access to the control
after the wall lining is on is more difcult.

Framing dimensions
The main points governing location are ueing and warm air distribution.
For the following framing dimensions it is important to be aware that the studs are offset—
IMPORTANT
Base board and connection cutouts
To ensure everything lines up and ts properly it’s recommended that on the base the following
dimensions are pencilled; glass centreline, unit depth centreline, feet position, gas and room
thermistor cutouts.
the cavity needs to be framed based on the centreline of the glass, not the opening size.

Cavity ventilation
Ventilation of at least 2000 mm2 must be provided into the installation cavity, ideally below the base
of the re.
the base of the re. Ventilation can be via a vent or an open toe kick at the base of the cavity—it
must be in the same room as the re.
Additionally the top of the cavity must be ventilated into the room or another space. This ventilation
opening must also be at least 2000 mm
which if left unvented could cause damage to wall surfaces or coverings and/or cause the re to
cut out.
Additional framing notes
• Wallboard is set 1 mm back from the front edge of the lips to allow for a slim edge plaster nish.
• To ensure the appliance performs correctly, without rattling, the Linear MUST BE installed on
a at level support base. The joists must be cable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the
weight of the appliance—base panel is also designed to take the weight of the wallboard.
IMPORTANT
This is to provide room air at ambient room temperature to the re thermistor located in
2.
This opening prevents heat build up inside the cavity,
Issues caused by rattling res not installed on a at level base, as detailed in this guide, will
not be covered by warranty.
