SAFETY INFORMATION
Rinnai Australia - 6 - Rinnai Luminaire® Outdoor Gas Fire - Operation and Installation Manual
Gas Installation Using a Gas Cylinder
Step 1. Read and understand the information in
this manual, in particular the items under
"Safety Information".
Step 2. Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF"
position as shown.
Step 3. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder
by turning the coupling nut anti-clockwise
to tighten to a full stop (left hand thread).
The seal has now engaged. An additional
one half to three quarter turn is required to
complete the connection. If your regulator
has a plastic type hand wheel DO NOT
use tools. Tighten by hand only.
Use a spanner on brass hexagon type
nuts, DO NOT over tighten.
Step 4. Make a soapy solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent (such as dish-washing
liquid) and four parts water.
Step 5. Open the gas valve on the cylinder by
turning it anticlockwise.
Step 6. Apply the soapy solution to all visible gas
connections in the vicinity of the cylinder
and regulator. Gas leaks will show as
small bubbles gradually increasing in size
in the soapy solution.
Step 7. If there is a gas leak from the connection
between the regulator and gas cylinder,
close the gas valve on the cylinder by
turning it clockwise. Disconnect the
regulator and hose assembly from the
cylinder by turning the coupling nut
clockwise to disengage. Inspect for debris
inside the cylinder fitting and the fitting at
the end of the regulator. Remove debris
and reconnect as per step 3). Retest for
gas leaks.
Step 8. Removal of the gas hose, regulator and
cylinder is the reverse of the connection
procedure.
If there is still a gas leak from the connection between the regulator and gas
cylinder or any other connections contact your gas supplier or Rinnai for
assistance. Connections other than the connection between the regulator
and gas cylinder must only be altered by an authorised person.
If gas leaks are present
DO NOT operate the Rinnai Luminaire® Outdoor Gas
Fire.
