Ember Installation Guide: 12890-B 02-18

Gas supply

Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance, as well as other gas 
appliances in the premises. The gas supply termination is inside the heater, and 
enters from the lower right hand side of the appliance.

Purging the gas supply

Foreign materials and debris such as swarf, 
filings etc. must be purged from the gas 
supply. Failure to do so may cause damage to 
the control valve causing it to malfunction.

Gas connection

A small spanner has been provided, located 
in the commissioning pouch on top of the 
PCB cover, to help with the gas connection as 
space is quite tight. Please return the spanner 
to the pouch when finished.

The use of a rubber hose for any gas 
connection to a fixed appliance is not 
authorised by the manufacturer.

Electrical supply

The Ember is fitted with a 1.5 m power cord and 3-pin plug. 
The power cord passes through a slot in the back left hand 
corner of the appliance.

The connection is either direct wired* 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. 

The fire must not be located immediately below a socket 
outlet (potential fire hazard). 

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a licensed tradesperson. This must be a 
genuine replacement part available from Rinnai. 

* Consult a qualified electrician if direct wiring is required as it must comply with AS/NZS 5601 and AS/NZS 3000 and other 

relevant local regulations

Framing dimensions above are before the zero clearance

For mock chimney installations the Ember MUST BE 

installed with the Ember Zero Clearance frame, which 

gives the required clearances to combustibles.

Actual chimney size needs to be at least 200 x 200 mm 

for the two flexi flues to fit down the chimney.

Corner installations

The Ember must be positioned within the enclosure on a flat level surface that 

allows free movement of the appliance. The enclosure must be capable of 

supporting 1.5 times the weight of the Ember.
