Compact 2 Installation Guide: 11817-D 04-15

Flame pattern

It may take approximately two hours of operation for the logs 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 the high setting in a well 
ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern 
during this time.

Abnormal flame pattern

Abnormal flame performance 
and/or pattern can indicate a 
problem with the fire, such as 
blocked gas injectors, or log set 
(burn media) has shifted from 
when the fire was first installed. 
There are some warning signs 
that could indicate a problem.

 

-

Unusual smell from the 
appliance 

 

-

Continued difficulty or delay 
in establishing a flame 

 

-

Flame appears very short or 
very long 

 

-

Flame only burns part way 
across the burner 

 

-

Severe soot building up on 
the  inside of the glass

Important

It is the responsibility of the 
installer to check that under 
normal conditions of the 
appliance, all flue gases are 
exhausted to the outside 
atmosphere, and that there is 
no spillage of combustion gases 
into the room.

If the appliance cannot be made 
to perform correctly please 
contact Rinnai.
