Clearances from combustibles
The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the glass, are minimum
clearances unless otherwise stated.
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, please contact Rinnai or refer to the installation guide, which includes a TV
installation diagram.
