Location
The main points governing location are flueing 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.
Enclosure dimensions
The heater must be positioned on
a flat level surface. For installations
further up the wall, the heater
needs to be supported, either
construct a base using board, or
support with joists.
A 25 mm clearance is required
around the unit (sides and back).
The 540 mm minimum dimension
will give a 25 mm clearance (plus)
from the back of the unit.
If installing the Symmetry Heat
Transfer Kit, allow an additional
side clearance of 250 mm. This
clearance is required to ensure
the ducting does not come into
contact with the fire.

Clearances
The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could
come into contact with the heater. In some case curtains may need restraining. The clearances
listed below are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated.
Due to the number of different
sized Symmetry frames, all
dimensions are taken from the
edge of the glass.
Up-wall installations
If the Symmetry is being installed
up the wall, the recommended
minimum clearance to the ceiling
is 1000 mm.
Floor protection
Heat emanating from this fire may
over time affect the appearance of
some materials used for flooring,
such as, carpet, vinyl, cork or
timber. This may be amplified if
the air contains cooking vapours
or cigarette smoke. To avoid this
occurring, it is recommended that
a mat be placed in front of this
appliance.
Mantels and surrounds
A mantel and surround are
allowed providing they are outside
the minimum clearances shown.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can
be used for decorative purposes
or protection of sensitive flooring
if required. A hearth must not
obscure the front of the fire.

For every 50 mm of added mantel depth, there must be an additional 100 mm of vertical
clearance. For example; a mantel depth (B) of 350 mm will require 600 mm (A) of vertical
clearance.
C Surround from side of glass 250 mm min.
D Surround projection at C - 250 mm (side clearance) 250 mm max.

TV installation above a replace
If installing a flat screen TV above the fire, the main issue is heat. Heat from the fire, and heat
from the flueing components that sit behind the TV—especially if recessed
The Symmetry RDV3611 has 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 shows recommended
clearances when installing a TV
directly above the Symmetry
RDV3611, or into a recess. All
dimensions are in millimetres.
400 mm dimension
The 400 mm dimension is the
minimum clearance required to
combustibles to a mantel.
For a TV mounted directly above
the Symmetry RDV3611, the
mantel must be at least the depth
of the TV to deflect heat away
from the appliance.
Always check with the TV
supplier
It is up to the owner to check
the TV installation with the TV
supplier to verify clearances. Some
TV manufacturers have warranty
conditions that state a TV is not to
be installed above a fireplace.
Rinnai does not accept any
responsibility for damage to a
TV resulting from the use of this
information.
