Installation Information - Location
Positioning the appliance
Main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The heater must not
be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the
appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining.
Standard flued appliances draw the air for combustion from the room itself so there is a need
for permanent ventilation (for example, fixed open louvres). This fixed ventilation must be
provided as per NZS:5261.
Enclosure requirements
The heater must be positioned on a flat level surface that allows free movement of the
appliance.
Masonry installations, use a slurry of sand and cement to level base as required
Decorative installations, the zero clearance box needs to be supported, either construct a
base using board with supporting joists or support with the frame itself

Electrical connection
This appliance has a power cord with a 3-pin plug supplied. The power
cord passes through the slot in the lower left or right hand side of the
heater front assembly.
Rinnai recommends that the heater be plugged into a 230 V 10 Amp
earthed power point. The power point must be a minimum of 300 mm
to the side and must not be above the unit. Alternatively the unit can be
direct wired if the power supply is to be concealed.
The electric isolation switch must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. The
electrical cord is not fire rated and should not come into contact with the fire.
