Q1: Has the correct model and gas type been supplied for the site?

A: The carton and appliance are clearly labelled with the model and gas type, so check before opening.

Q2: Is the appliance suitable for the room size?

A: Rinnai gas fireplaces are efficient room heaters. Check the product spec literature for recommended maximum rooms the fireplace will heat, and ensure the turn down rate is not too high to overheat the room once warm.

Before starting, check the way the flue is to be run complies within the maximum allowable for that appliance, taking bends into account.

Q3: What are the requirements for clearances to combustible materials?

A: The installation guide for each appliance explains in detail where you can use combustible materials and where you must use non-combustible materials. Most models are slightly different, so always check the instructions. There is further data and drawings on the Rinnai website.

Q4: How important are the maximum flue lengths?

A: All Rinnai appliances have been tested and approved to the dimensions in the installation manual, so we can guarantee no problems with those dimensions. Bends do restrict airflow, so you must reduce the overall length by 1m for every 90° bend or 0.5m for a 45° bend.

Q5: How do I stop soot deposits on the logs and glass?

A: This is not uncommon with NZULPG because you can get high build-up of butane in your gas cylinder, which requires larger amounts of oxygen to complete combustion. Although the appliance is designed to accept 100% butane for a few hours, it is not designed to run continuously.

The way Rinnai achieves the most realistic flame picture is by combining tall yellow flames with some flame impingement on the logs to give red glow.

Setting up the logs and loose granules in the correct intended position is critical for best performance. Take special care to follow the installation guide and the easy-check picture attached to the glass of every unit. Our YouTube video clips on the Rinnai website also offer guidelines for selected models.

Q6: Do I need to set up the Wi-Fi?

A: Newer versions of the Neo, Novo, Ember, Evolve and Linear range have the capability of connecting to Wi-Fi and use the dedicated Rinnai Fireplace App for control. Some of the Rinnai fireplace range comes with the Wi-Fi module pre-installed and some require a Rinnai Wi-Fi module to be purchased separately and fitted at installation or later. Instructions are included and are also on the Rinnai website.

Q7: When I first turn on the appliance, I sometimes get error code 11 or 12 on the PCB. What does this mean?

A: Error code 11 indicates the flame sensing device has not registered a flame is present on the burner. This can be caused if the gas hasn’t been connected or turned on or if there is excessive air in the pipe that needs to be purged through the pilot injector. The pilot injector is very small, especially on LPG appliances, so this can take several attempts. Go through the ignition cycle at least 10-15 times before you determine there is a problem.

An error code 12 indicates a flame has been present but has gone out or the first of the two flame sensing rods (which are in most of our appliances) has sensed but the second hasn’t.

Q8: What do I do if I need help?
