FRAMING
FRAMING DIMENSIONS Framework of the installation must conform to local building codes. Non-combustible materials need not be used. If the appliance is elevated from the ground within the structure, a base must be constructed using suitable material with supporting joists capable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the appliance.

AS/NZS5601″GASINSTALLATIONS”requiresthatfluecomponentsbesupportedindependently of the appliance.
CAUTION

For the following framing dimensions it is important to be aware that the studs are offset–the cavity needs to be framed based on the centreline of the glass, not the opening size.
Base Board and Cut-outs
To ensure everything lines up and fits properly, it is recommended that on the base the following dimensions are pencilled; glass centreline, unit depth centreline, feet position, gas and room thermistor cut-outs.

CAVITY VENTILATION
Ventilation areas of at least 2000 mm² each, are required in the cavity, ideally adjacent to the bottom end, and to the top end of the appliance. This is to allow room temperature air to enter the heater cavity at the bottom, and to exit at the top from the hotter areas of the fireplace cavity. This ventilation reduces heat buildup in the cavity and allows the product to run at its highest efficiency. The ventilation can be either via placement of manufactured vents or a specifically sized opening or gap within the structure.
When a material such as wood, susceptible to heat damage, is installed directly above the appliance, it is important to allow a sufficient air gap and fit a non-combustible material underneath. All clearances specified in this manual must be provided.
ADDITIONAL FRAMING NOTES
Plaster board is set 1 mm back from the front edge of the frame to allow for a slim edge plaster finish.
To ensure correct and rattle free performance, the appliance MUST be installed on a flat level support base.

COMMISSIONING

GENERAL INFORMATION
Accessing the commissioning instructions installed in the bottom of the unit will not normally occur during installation, which is why the instructions are detailed in this section of the manual.
NOTE
For servicing and maintenance purposes the commissioning instructions are also included in the service manual. The location of the commissioning instruction pouch within the appliance is as follows:
RHFE1500 – Located to the right hand side of the gas control
RHFE0800F/1000 – Located tucked in behind the Wi-Fi module

When performing the commissioning, the appliance electrical power will need to be connected. Exercise CAUTION as there is potential for electric shock from the exposed wiring and circuitry. WARNING DO NOT leave the appliance unattended when power is connected and the panels are removed.
Installation and commissioning must be carried out by an Authorised person.
Wiring inside this appliance may be at 240V potential.
DO NOTtestforgasescapeswithanopenflame.
LS-GasFireplaceheatershavetwodipswitchsettingsforfluelength. IMPORTANT L-F (Long Flue) this is the factory set default and in general will not require alteration.
S-F (Short Flue) refer to service manual or contact Rinnai for further details.
During commissioning the plastic push buttons on the PCB are required to be pressed to make adjustments. DO NOT use mechanical items such as screwdrivers to depress these button as this may lead to breakage.
GAS PRESSURE SETTING
The LS – Gas Fireplace heaters come with the high and low operating pressures factory pre-set.
IMPORTANT Gas Supply and Burner pressures MUST BE checked during installation and prior to the installationoftheburnmedia.Thisistobedonewiththeglassoffandbeforetheburnmedia* is added. Make adjustments if the unit is not operating correctly after all other possible other causes have been eliminated.
Inlet supply pressure to the appliance MUST be checked and set within the operating parameters of the appliance in all instances. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly contact Rinnai for advice.
Confirmgastype:thisapplianceavailableineitherNaturalorPropanegas,checklabellingontop paneltoverifygastype.Contactlocalgasauthoritytoconfirmgassupplytypeifyouareindoubt.

• For heaters fitted with the Flametech® burner media (models RHFE0800SF/DF), the two large logs supplied with the burn media are also the main burners for these appliances. As such it is necessary to temporarily install these logs onto the aeration sleeves during commissioning.
  The pressures can be checked by operating the buttons on the control panel PCB through the front access panels of the heater before the wall lining has been installed, or by pulling out the control panel PCB and accessing the buttons through the opening from the front of the appliance as shown right.
  Check the pressures against those printed on the data plate of the appliance. If the data plate is not easily accessible the pressures are also detailed on the next page. Even if no adjustment of the gas pressures is required, access to the ‘SET’ button may be required to proceed to the next setting.

BURN MEDIA INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

Due to the number of steps involved, separate instructions have been supplied with each burn media type and a colour placement sheet is also provided attached to burner box glass.
Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems are caused by burn media being installed incorrectly, as such correct placement of the burn media is critical. Ensure you have read through and understood the supplied burn media instructions before attempting installation. It is important to place the burn media in the correct position as incorrect placement cancreatecarbonbuild-upandaffecttheheatersperformance.

Malfunctions due to incorrect burn media placement are NOT covered by warranty.

The appliance MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn media that is damaged.

TheburnmediasetsaredifferentandcanNOT be interchanged, please ensure you have ordered the correct set before installation.

TEST OPERATION AND LIGHTING SEQUENCE
It may take approximately two hours of operation for the burn media to achieve their full flame pattern and glow. During the initial burning-in period, some smoke and smell may be experienced. The appliance should run on a high setting in a well ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern during this time.
ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN
Each Rinnai Gas Fireplace heater has a distinct flame pattern. The flame should look the same every time you operate your heater, after an initial warm up period of approximately 15 minutes.
Abnormal flame performance and/or pattern can indicate a problem with your heater, such as blocked gas injectors, incorrectly installed / inadequate flue system or the artificial logs/burn media may have shifted from when the heater was first installed.
There are some warning signs that could indicate a problem. If any of the signs below occur, please contact Rinnai.

NORMAL FLAME PATTERN

ABNORMAL FLAME PATTERN

Keysignsofabnormalflameperformance:
· Appliance turns ‘OFF’ soon after start up and does not relight. · Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a flame · Flame appears overly orange- yellow. · Flame appears either very short or very long. · Flame only burns part way across the burner. · Severe soot building up on the inside of the glass or on logs. · Continuous unusual smell from the appliance. · Continued difficulty or delay in establishing a flame. · Severe soot building up on the inside of the glass.

COMMISSIONING
CHECK Wi-Fi CONNECTIVITY
Part of the installation process is to test the Wi-Fi connectivity and correct operation with the appliance, with the owner/customer. When the power is on the Wi-Fi LED should flash and then turn a solid red to indicate everything is ready for setup via a smart device.
Summary of how the app works
Wi-Fi module in the fire, once installed and has power connected, is on. Homeowner downloads the Rinnai Wi-Fi app on their smart device. Through the app, the Wi-Fi in the fire links (pairs) to the homeowners smart device. Homeowner, through the app setup process, then links the Wi-Fi in the fire to the Wi-Fi router in the home–this essentially makes the smart device the fireplace controller. If unable to connect, the Wi-Fi board must be reset
RESETTING Wi-Fi MODULE
If there is a problem with the Wi-Fi connectivity, there may be a requirement for you to reset the Wi-Fi module E
of the appliance. With the appliance in the ON / Standby state do the following: 1. Take a thin non-metallic card (similar to the size and thickness of a credit card).
2. Use the diagram and table below locate the narrow gap in the heaters lower frame D.

3. Using your card, gently press down to reset the Wi-Fi module.
4. Restart your app and follow the app instructions.
If this doesn’t work switch the power off and then back on again to reset the heater and retry the resetting procedure, if the issue is still unable to be resolved contact Rinnai for advice.
