Ember Installation Guide: 12890-B 02-18

Ember specification

Before you start

Unpack the appliance and components and check for damage. DO NOT install any damaged items. 

Check all components have been supplied and that you have the correct gas type.

Read these instructions to get an overview of the steps required before starting the installation. Failure 

to follow these instructions could cause a malfunction of the appliance. This could result in serious injury 

and/or property damage.

Ensure the flue termination will meet the required flue clearances as shown in AS/NZS 5601.1 before 

installation.

Ember 600 specification summary

= 14-27 MJ/h

Output  

= 3-6.0* kW

Efficiency 

= 77% (on high)

Heating area  = up to 99 m

**

Gas type 

= NG or ULPG

A direct vent inbuilt gas fireplace with a glass front 
and convection fan, pushing warm air from the 
top of the appliance. Operated with an infra-red 
remote control. 

Different burn media and frame options available.

* Will vary according to gas type and flue configuration.

** Will vary depending on geographical location in NZ.

Suitability

Suitable for masonry installations and installations 
into a mock chimney, in open plan areas and living 
rooms.

Data plate

Located on the lower RHS of the base panel in 
front of the gas control.

Convection fan

120 V AC 50 Hz 2-speed centrifugal blower.

Lighting

Halogen lamps 240 V 25 W x 2.

Gas connection

Brass ½ “ BSPT male fitting, the gas supply 
terminates inside the heater—lower right hand 
side of the appliance.

Ignition

230-240 V AC 50 Hz high voltage electronic spark 
generation unit.

Installation considerations

Room size—smaller rooms will heat up quickly, 
and due to the efficiency of the appliance, the 
Ember will turn to a low flame setting once the set 
temperature has been reached.

For efficient performance Rinnai recommends 
installing the fire as close to the floor as possible. 
If the unit is installed higher up the wall the 
movement of air from the convection fan, 
depending on the room configuration, could 
create draughts.

Noise level

: 37-45 dB(A)

Flueing: Masonry

Colinear flexi flue, air intake Ø 75 mm, exhaust  
Ø 100 mm. Appliance must be installed with a 
Rinnai Ember flue system.

Flueing: Mock chimney

Colinear (air intake Ø 75 mm, exhaust Ø 100 mm) 
to coaxial direct vent flueing (inner Ø 100 mm, 
outer Ø 170 mm). Appliance must be installed with 
a Rinnai Ember flue system.

Electrical

This heater has a 1.5 m power cord with a three pin 
plug supplied. The power cord passes through a 
slot in the back left hand corner of the appliance.

•  High 

= 110 W

•  Standby 

= <1W

Safety devices

Flame failure sensing system, pressure relief, 
overheat safety switch, air temperature sensor, 
thermal fuse, overcurrent fuse, and spark 
detector.

Temperature control

Once the unit is turned on the infra-red 
remote* is used to control the flame 
height and heat output.

If the remote is not used the Ember will 
automatically modulate between the 
burner settings to maintain the default 
set temperature of 22 °C.

* Temperature sensor is located in the bottom of the remote

Engine

The Ember engine comes with; remote control (batteries inserted), operation and installation guides, granule packs, rockwool, 

crushed glass, vermiculite, and flexible gas connection.

4-sided or 3-sided frame

Zero clearance frame

Infill panel (if needed)

Infill panel only needed if the cavity is slightly larger than the frame

panel will cover the gap behind the fire and 3-sided frame.

700 Masonry frame

Wider masonry frame for the Ember 700, 

designed to cover a larger cavity opening. 

A must-have for mock chimney installations as it 

gives automatic clearances to combustibles and 

is critical for keeping the installation square.

Burn media

Option of a log or stone set

ensure you 

have the correct set before starting, they are 

different for each model.

Masonry flue components

Flexi flue components for a vertical or 

horizontal chimney termination

Mock chimney flue components

Flue components for a vertical or horizontal 

termination.
