General information
Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to
operate, maintain and service your Rinnai gas fire.
Electrical connection
The Linear is fitted with a 1.5 m power cord
and 3-pin plug. The power cord passes through
a slot in the back right hand corner of the
appliance.
The connection is either direct wired
1
or
connected to a power point within the cavity.
This must be connected to a dedicated earthed
power point. The electric isolation switch must
be accessible after the appliance has been
installed.
Installation by a licensed tradesperson
Only a licensed tradesperson can install, adjust,
maintain, and service this gas fire. Any work
carried out by a non-licensed tradesperson is
illegal and will void any warranty.
Installer handover
Ensure your installer talks to you about the
use and care of this appliance, and that you
understand these instructions. The installer also
needs to complete the appliance installation
checklist and installer details (p. 18), and leave
this guide with you.
Safety devices
Your Rinnai Linear has the following safety
devices; flame failure sensing system, pressure
relief, overheat safety switch, air temperature
sensor, thermal fuse, overcurrent fuse, and
spark detection.
Soot deposits
Small soot deposits inside the heater or glass is
normal. The inside of the glass can be cleaned,
refer instructions on p. 22. Significant soot
build-up however is not normal and will require
a service call. Refer to the troubleshooting
section for further information.
Environmental
The Rinnai Linear is
manufactured from a number of
recyclable materials. At the end
of its useful life please consider
what parts could be recycled, for
example scrap metal, PCB etc.
Care and maintenance
All external surfaces of the Linear can be
cleaned using a soft damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use solvents and do not
attempt to clean while the Linear is still
operating or hot.
Servicing
Rinnai has a maintenance, service
and spare parts network with
personnel who are fully trained
and equipped to give the best
advice on your Rinnai appliance.
Servicing and repair should only be carried out
by authorised personnel, please call Rinnai
(0800 746 624).
For reliable operation Rinnai gas fireplaces
should be serviced every two years, including
inspection of the flue system. If they are in a
particularly dusty environment or subject to
excess lint, for example dog hair, or where
there are newly laid carpets, then annual
servicing would be beneficial.
Regular maintenance and servicing is not
covered by the Rinnai warranty.
