Product Usage Instructions
Burn Media Installation:
Experience has shown that incorrect installation of burn media
can lead to performance issues. Follow these instructions
carefully:
Correct Placement:
Ensure the burn media is placed in the correct position to avoid
carbon build-up and performance issues.
Cleaning Gaps:
Keep the gaps between burners clear of any vermiculite or
crushed glass to allow proper airflow. Use the installation guide
to prevent burn media from entering these gaps.
Log Set Installation:
When installing the logs, ensure the charred section faces down.
Always work on the side with the pilot assembly at the back of the
firebox.
Base Panel:
Inspect each part of the burn media set for damage before
installation. Ensure the base panel is securely fixed and aeration
sleeves are correctly fitted over injectors.
Centre Log:
Fit the centre log into the valley in the middle of the base
panel, aligning the slot in the log with the notch in the
panel.
Glass Installation:
Place a layer of glass over the base panel holes, avoiding
excess dust. Use about 80% of the glass to maintain proper lighting
from below.
FlameTech Logs:
Identify left and right FlameTech logs, ensuring they are intact
and securely attached. Inspect for any damage in the channel where
wire wool wraps around the burner.

The Linear MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn media that is
damaged. The Linear burn media sets are different and cannot be interchanged,
ensure you have the correct set before installation. Correct placement It is
important to place the burn media in the correct position. Incorrect placement
can create carbon build-up (sooting) and affect performance.
IMPORTANT Ensure the gaps between the burners are kept clear of any
vermiculite or crushed glass. This is important as these gaps provide
secondary air to the unit. A tip to stop any burn media going into the gaps is
to place the installation guide in the burner gap while placing the
vermiculite or crushed glass over the burner.
FlameTech log set: Single-sided/double-sided When installing the burn media
you will ALWAYS be working on the side where the pilot assembly is to the back
of the firebox. Designer log set The logs have a charred section on them and
when correctly installed, the charring will always be face down.

Base panel
Make sure the base panel is properly fixed in place and that the brass
aeration sleeves are correctly fitted over the injectors with the top of the
sleeve slightly above the fire base. If the aeration sleeves feel lose or you
have removed them at some point, check the o-rings in the injector end are
properly sealed before refitting.
Centre log Take the centre log and fit it into the valley in the middle of the
base panel. There is a slot in the front of the panel that lines up with the
notch in the end of the log, refer photo on next page.

Glass Place a layer of glass over the holes in the base panel. Don’t pour the
glass out of the bag as there will be dust that has settled that will make the
installation look messy when finished.
Avoid covering the area beyond the holes. You should only use about 80% of the
glass for this step. If the layer of glass is too thick the lighting from
below will be reduced.
FlameTech logs Identify the left and right hand FlameTech logs. The left log
is slightly shorter than the right. Inspect both logs. Check that the block
and the copper sleeve on the base of the log are firmly attached. Inspect the
channel where the wire wool wraps around the burner, look for chips or cracks
in the channel.
Look for any large cracks in the burner. The gas flows through the burner
itself and anything other than a small surface fissure could be a sign of
damage. If the crack is big enough to see the inside edge of the crack, the
log should not be installed.
The wire wool should sit inside the channel around the burner with only the
occasional strand of wool sticking out, and not so far back that you can see
the sides of the channel. These logs have been tested before leaving the
factory, but if the wire wool is not correctly placed, you may need to adjust
it later.
Right hand log approx. 10-15 mm longer
Inspect the wire wool channel Linear 1000 burn media installation: 13569-F | 3
Position right hand FlameTech log Place the right hand log in position. Fit
the copper sleeve on the base of the burner over the aeration sleeve. The
outer, or right hand end of the log should sit in the base panel with the
other end resting on top of the centre log. There should be a gap between the
base panel and the block in the underside of the burner.
When correctly installed the log should sit evenly on the centre log, with a
gap of around 5 mm between the log and the long flame rod to the left of the
pilot. Snip off any strands of wire wool sticking out around the flame rod.
These are the most common source of ignition problems. These strands can short
the flame rod and cause flame failure errors or pre-ignition flame rod
failures.
Position left hand FlameTech log Place the left hand log in position. The
outer edge should sit on the base panel and the other end resting on the
centre log. There should be a gap between the base panel and the burner block.
When correctly positioned, the gap between the two FlameTech burners will be
about 5 mm with both burners sitting evenly on the centre log.
4 | Linear 1000 burn media installation: 13569-F
Start the fire Start the fire and check for complete ignition around both
burners. If the burners don’t cross light you might need to adjust the gap
between them.
If the fire starts and then goes out within a few seconds, it will almost
certainly be a strand of wire touching the main burner flame rod. Make sure to
run the burners on high and low flame settings to ensure the flame rod is
working correctly.
If the flames are a bit thin, with no glow around the wire wool, it could be
the wire wool is pushed too tightly in the channel. Carefully tweeze the wool
out of the channel in the affected areas. If the flames look like a row of
candles with no flames burning around the rim of the log, it could be that the
wire wool is sitting too far out in the channel. Carefully push the wool back
into the channel where necessary.
It might be necessary to adjust the position of the burners or, in some cases,
the flame rod, to get reliable operation.
Take care if adjusting the flame rod, the rod does not need to be in the
middle of the flame to detect its presence, it works best on the edge of the
flame. The burners may work differently with the glass on, so briefly fit the
glass to double check the operation. Once happy with the operation of the
burners it is times to dress the rest of the bed.

Place three remaining logs Place the three remaining logs as shown.
When fitting the back pilot log, take care not to dislodge the FlameTech
burner or to put the log where it could compromise the operation of the pilot.
If you can, connect the Wi-Fi unit. Use the Rinnai app to turn the LED lights
under the burner bed on without the fire burning. This is helpful when
finishing the media bed.
Place any remaining glass pieces around the logs to try and cover any parts
where you can see directly through the base panel. This includes the log
location slot.
Place the black granules over the top of the glass. The granules are purely
decorative and can be placed anywhere on the base panel as long as they don’t
block the pilot area.
If installing a double-sided fire, check the media bed from both sides to make
sure there are no places where you can directly see the lights below the bed.
Sprinkle vermiculite over and around the media bed to get the desired look.
Refit the glass and operate the fire for at least ten minutes to make sure the
burner is operating with nice even flames in high and low burner settings. The
installation of the media is now complete.

Before starting the installation, carefully unpack the entire burn media set.
Inspect each part for damage and lay them out as shown above, making sure that
everything has been supplied. Use this guide and the one-page sheet fixed to
the fire for further guidance. These instructions show a single sided fire,
but the process for the double sided is the same as long as the media is
installed from the front of the fire, with the pilot to the back of the
burner. It is important to note that the NZ LPG burner differs from the
natural gas burner, this is indicated by a `U’ stamped in the left hand
corner.
There are four log location points along the burner and burner surrounds. These need to be folded up before proceeding any further, refer image on next page.

Place a thin layer of vermiculite across the entire burner bed. Don’t pour the
vermiculite, there will be dust that has settled in the bag, this can block
the burner ports and cause cross lighting and performance issues with the
fire. Avoid putting excessive vermiculite over the burner ports at this stage.
The first layer should use less than a third of the vermiculite. Make sure the
burner ports in front of the pilot and main burner flame rod are not covered,
circled below.

Start the fire and make sure that the flames track across the entire burner
bed. Move the vermiculite around as required. You may need to use the remote
control or control panel to keep the fire burning on high.
First log Take the first log and carefully lay it over the burner using the
location tab behind the pilot and the tab on the burner surround. Notice how
the log sits in the front of the location tab. Make sure there is a clear path
in the vermiculite where the log crosses the burner. The logs have a charred
section on them, and when correctly installed, the charring will always be
facing down.
10 | Linear 1000 burn media installation: 13569-F
Second log Take the second log and install it using the tabs as a location
guide. Note how the vermiculite has been cleared away from the left hand end
of the log.
Three remaining smaller logs Continue fitting the three smaller logs using the
colour installation sheet on the front of the appliance as a guide.

Light the burner and check for complete cross-lighting. Force the fire into high burner mode using either the remote control or the front control panel. Adjust the vermiculite if required. It may be necessary to clean out some of the bigger burner ports (circled below) but sometimes a larger piece of vermiculite can help with cross-lighting or diffusing a flame.

Remaining vermiculite Make sure there is minimal impingement on any of the
logs or smaller logs, and adjust if necessary. This is especially important
for LPG or propane fires. If the flames look to be leaning back too much, try
briefly fitting the glass front and see what it will look like under normal
operation. Don’t worry if the flames look a but dull at this stage, when the
wire wool is installed, the flame will improve. Place the remaining
vermiculite on the burner surrounds. This is a decorative aspect of the
installation and can be adjusted to customer requirements. If they only want
vermiculite on the burner, that’s ok, and similarly, if they want the
vermiculite spread across the entire burner, that’s ok to. Do not place more
vermiculite on the burner itself at this stage. take care not to block the gap
between the burner and the front and back surrounds. This gap is required for
secondary air to get to the burner.
Stones Place the stones using the colour installation sheet as a guide. These
are decorative and are not necessary if the customer doesn’t want them used.
Rinnai recommends using them to camouflage the places where the log location
tabs are visible. Take care not to directly block any of the burner ports. If
you are setting up a double-sided fire, make sure it looks good from both
sides. Start the fire again and make sure that the burner lights completely.
Force the fire into high burner mode using either the remote or the front
control panel. Adjust the stones and vermiculite as required.

Wire wool Take the wire wool out and tease into thin strands. There is nothing
to be gained by having a thick rope of wire wool. Most installations will use
less than a third of the supplied wool. The remainder of the wool can be left
with the customer or can be used as a replacement when the fire is serviced.
The wool is used to enhance the flame, but if the customer doesn’t like it, it
doesn’t have to be installed. Place thin strands of wire wool over the flames
to make them brighter and more vibrant. There is no benefit in having wool
where there is no flame, and having too much wool can make the flames too
yellow and streaky, and will look odd when the fire is off. Be careful to
avoid getting the wire wool anywhere near the flame rods. If you find that the
fire is cutting out, there is a good chance that it is a strand of wool
shorting out one of the flame rods. If there is a loss of flame or a short
circuit on either the pilot or the main burner flame rod for more than five
seconds, the fire will shut down.
Checking the final assembly Once you are happy with the way the flame bed
looks, replace the glass and start the fire. Make sure that you are getting
good cross-lighting and that there is no impingement or long streaky flames
that might cause sooting. It is important to leave the fire running for at
least ten minutes to get a good idea of how yellow the flames might get and if
there are any patches of major impingement on any of the logs. These need to
be fixed to prevent soot appearing on the logs, especially with LPG or propane
installations.

Before starting the installation, carefully unpack the burn media set. Inspect
each part for damage and lay them out as shown above, making sure that
everything has been supplied. Use this guide and the one-page sheet fixed to
the fire for further guidance. These instructions show a single sided fire,
but the process for the double sided is the same as long as the media is
installed from the front of the fire, with the pilot to the back of the
burner. Note that this is specialty glass, there is a risk of damage to the
fire if anything other than Rinnai supplied products are used. There are log
location tabs along the burner and burner surrounds. These are not used when
installing the glass media. The tabs in the burner surround should be left
flat. If changing from a log set to glass, flatten these tabs before
proceeding. The tabs on the burner top can be left folded up.

Start using the smaller bag of glass. Spread out a thin layer across the
entire burner top. Don’t pour the glass out, as there will be dust that has
settled in the bag. This can block the burner ports and cause cross-lighting
and performance issues with the fire. Try to avoid putting excessive glass
over the burner ports at this stage. You should not require much more than the
smaller bag of glass on the burner to start with.
Start the fire and make sure that the flames track across the entire burner
bed. Move the glass around as required. These instructions have images using
natural gas, the flames will behave differently when using LPG or propane, but
the principles are the same. You may need to use the remote control or control
panel to keep the fire burning on high.

shorting out one of the flame rods. If there is a loss of flame or a short
circuit on either the pilot or the main burner flame rod for more than five
seconds, the fire will shut down.
You can now install the remaining glass. How much of the fire base you cover
with the glass is up to the customer. If they only want glass on the burner
that’s fine, but they need to be aware that the log locating tabs in the
burner surrounds will be left visible. Our recommendation is to place a layer
of glass between the burner and the fold on the burner surrounds, but some
customers prefer to have glass across the entire fire base. Make sure that the
gap between the burner and burner surrounds is left clear of glass, this gap
is required for secondary air to reach the burner.
18 | Linear 1000 burn media installation: 13569-F
Fit the glass front and make sure that you are getting good cross-lighting and
that there are no long streaky flames that might cause sooting. It is
important to leave the fire running for at least ten minutes to get a good
idea of how yellow flames might get and if there are any flames that might be
sooty. These need to be fixed by either clearing the glass away from the
burner ports or moving any wire wool that is causing flames to join together.
This is especially important with LPG or propane installations.
