Locaon
The main points governing location are ueing and warm air distribution. The heater must not
be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the
appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining. The Neo gas replace is not designed
to be built into bookcases.
Standard ued appliances draw the air for combustion from the room itself so there is a need
for xed ventilation. Fixed ventilation must be provided as per NZS 5261.
Clearances
The clearances listed below are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated.

Mantels, surrounds, and hearths for inbuilt installaons
A mantel and surround are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown
on the previous page.
Minimum clearance
The minimum clearance from the top of the appliance is 400 mm. The depth of the mantel/
surround at this minimum clearance must not exceed 150 mm.
Additional mantel/surround depth
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth/surround, there must be an additional 100 mm of
clearance. For example; a 200 mm mantel depth will require a 500 mm clearance from the top
of the appliance.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
ooring if required. It must not obscure the front of the re.
Electrical connecon
The Neo is supplied with a power cord (length 1500 mm)
and a 3-pin plug. The standard electrical connection passes
through the rear panel, but can also pass through the left
and right hand side of the unit by removing the knockout
tab from the bottom edge of the front panel. If changing
the electrical position use the rubber grommet from the
rear of the appliance for cable protection.
Rinnai recommend the heater is plugged into a dedicated
240 V, 10 A earthed power point. The power point must not
be located above the heater (potential re hazard). If the
supplied plug and power cord is to be used with an external
power point then the power cord will need to be tted with
the supplied grommet.
A suitable means of electric isolation must be provided which is adjacent to the appliance and
accessible with the appliance installed.
The electrical cord is not re rated and should not come into contact with the unit. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a licensed tradesperson. This must be a genuine
replacement part available from Rinnai—part number 6765B.

TV installaon above a replace
If installing a at screen TV above the re the main issue is heat. Heat from the re and heat
from the ueing components that sit behind the TV, especially if recessed.
The Neo gas res have a fan that distributes warm air from the top of the appliance out into
the room. As warm air is dispersed outwards as opposed to directly upwards, installation of a
TV may be an option. The diagram below outlines recommended minimum clearances when
installing a TV directly above the Neo inbuilt models. All dimensions are in millimetres.

away from the appliance.
It is up to the customer to check the TV installation instructions with the TV supplier to verify
clearances. Some TV manufacturers 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

General ueing informaon
Flashings
Flashings to the top of chimney structure do not form part of the ue kit and must be specied.
Clearance to combusbles
For installations using the Rinnai zero clearance ue components, the minimum clearance from
inner ue to combustible material must be greater than 50 mm. This equates to 25 mm from
the outer ue when using the Rinnai twin-skin ue.
Flue length and number of bends
Minimum ue length
This is required to ensure adequate draw and prevents spill-back of combustion products which
can cause the safety sensors to shut down the unit.
• minimum ue length before any bends or osets = 1.0 m
• minimum vertical ue length = 3.6 m
Maximum ue length and number of bends
Rinnai recommend a maximum ue length of 8 m with a maximum of two 45° bends.
Self-supporng ue
The weight of the ue system should not be supported by the appliance—it
should be self-supporting. Supporting the ue is usually completed during the
framing stage with ue supports or straps within the cavity.
Every gas replace 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 that the appliance is provided with an eective ue.
For installations requiring a ue, a Rinnai ue system must be used. The ue system must be
fully assembled and secured in place before the appliance is installed.

General ueing informaon
Shared ues
Gas appliances must not be connected to a chimney or ue serving a separate fuel burning
appliance.
Flue cowl clearance
To ensure products of combustion are cleared, adequate clearance for the building is required
and the below guideline is recommended.
Flue cowl should have a 500
mm clearance from any part of
the building. This also applies
to steeped and pitched roofs
which should be clear of the
ridge line as shown below.
Lesser clearances may provide
perfectly adequate ue systems
depending on the installation.
Minimum clearances are shown
in NZS 5261.

Masonry installaons
1. Check dimensions of the opening
Refer 'Enclosure dimensions' and if necessary bring them to the required dimensions.
Check the chimney height as inadequate height can eect product performance. Some
installations may require the chimney height to be extended to reduce down drafts.
2. Check ueway
• Ensure there are no obstructions
• Provide a rm, at and sealed base (sealed means no holes or openings in the replace)
• Ensure adequate support of the appliance (if not properly supported noise and vibration
may result)
3. Install exiliner ue system
To ensure adequate draw for maximum performance of the appliance, Rinnai strongly
recommends the use of a Rinnai exiliner ue system for masonry installations. Failure to meet
this installation criteria may result in an unsafe situation. Performance issues resulting from
inadequate ueing is not covered by the warranty.
Installation without a exiliner is permissible in masonry installations as long as the chimney
has been checked for soundness and ability to achieve a good draw.

4. Installing the heater into the replace
Apply the supplied foam seal strip to the rear of the heater. The strip is intended to form a seal
between the heater and the replace. If an adequate seal cannot be formed with this strip
another means of sealing must be used (non-combustible insulation) between the replace and
the heater body.
If using a exiliner ue, prepare the heater engine by drilling four x Ø 3.2 mm holes in the prepressed dimples on the top panel of the heater. Attach the ue guide rails from the ue kit
using the supplied screws. Align the guide rails with the guide plate and slide the heater engine
into the enclosure until the guide plate is fully against the rear of the front assembly-this will
ensure the heater and ue spigot are correctly aligned.
Carefully move the appliance into the enclosure ensuring the gas supply feeds into the rear
access hole and fasten heater to the replace.

1. Construct frame and install zero clearance box
Refer 'Enclosure dimensions' and construct frame. Assemble and install the RIB2310 zero
clearance box. Installation needs to be on a level base. If this is not done the appliance may
twist and become damaged—this will void any product warranty.
The zero clearance box is installed ush with the cladding surface.
For installations into a mock chimney a Rinnai zero clearance box and zero clearance ue kit is
required to isolate the appliance from combustible materials. Failure to meet this installation
criteria will void any product warranty.

Log set installaon
The granule pack and log set, consisting of ve log
pieces, comes packaged inside the appliance, you will
need to remove the glass retainer (four screws) before
installing the granules and log set. Use extreme care
when handling the log pieces, they are made from a
fragile material and will damage easily.
It is important you position the pieces in the order
shown below. Incorrect placement can create carbon build up and eect performance.
Malfunctioning due to improper log placement is not covered under warranty. The unit must
never be used with broken logs and should not be mixed with other burn media (except the
Rinnai Neo granules).
1. Check to ensure that the ports of the main
burner are clean and clear of any particles and all
packaging.

Granule pack installaon
The granules as well as being added to create a more realistic log ame eect (by
diusing the gas ames through the burner ports) also assist in soot prevention and
are CRITICAL to the performance of the heater.
Never pour the granules directly from the pack as dust particles from the plastic bag
may block the ports.
NG installaons
Place the granules evenly across the burner—use the whole pack.
ULPG installaons
Carefully place 30 of the granules as close as possible to the front burner ports as shown on
the diagram below. DO NOT cover any of the front right side ports. It’s important this is done
correctly as incorrect placement can cause high yellow ames (dirty combustion) that may
cause sooting.
It is desirable that the ames touch the granules as this diuses any ‘candling’ eect and
enhances the realistic log burning look of the heater.

Test pressures
To check and set the burner pressures
1. Refer to the data plate located inside the appliance on the front left hand side for the
correct gas pressure settings.
2. Using a screw driver loosen the captive Appliance Test Point Pressure Screw (ATPP) and t
the manometer.

5. Disconnect the power to the Gas Control Valve (GCV) by separating the connector for the
power supply (yellow wires). The GCV will automatically default to low pressure operation.
Using a 10 mm spanner hold the high pressure adjusting nut stationary while adjusting
the low pressure screw with a screw driver. Turning the screw clockwise will increase the
outlet pressure while turning the screw anti-clockwise will decrease the outlet pressure.
6. Replace the dust cap to its original position. It’s important this is done correctly to ensure
the correct operation of the GCV.
7. Reconnect the power to the GCV by rejoining the connector (yellow wires).
8. After conrming the correct pressures, turn the appliance o, remove the manometer,
tighten the ATPP sealing screw and leak test.
9. Turn the appliance on and o a few times to check ignition.
