Rinnai 

SS850 Freestanding IM

LOCATION

When positioning the heater, the main variables governing the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.

The Rinnai SS850 freestanding models have an additional metal wrap which significantly reduces unwanted heat 

transfer. This means the unit can be installed into tight spaces, can be built-in, and can be positioned close to walls 

if the building materials are suitable. For further information on material selection refer pages 8 and 9.

Combustible clearances

The heater 

MUST NOT

 be installed where 

curtains, furniture or other combustible materials 

could  come  into  contact  with  the  fire  while  it  is 

operating. The side clearance, measured from the 

edge of the cabinet, includes side walls. The 1000 

mm clearance is in front of the fire.

The general clearances shown in the adjacent 

diagrams (with cabinet base) apply to all the Rinnai 

SS850 Freestanding models.

Hearths

A  hearth  is  not  necessary  but  can  be  used  for 

decorative purposes. It 

MUST NOT

 obscure the 

front of the fire or obstruct the fire in any way. For 

more information refer page 8.

Floor protection

Heat  radiating  from  the  fire  may  affect  the 

appearance  of  some  materials  used  for  flooring 

such  as  vinyl  planks,  carpet,  cork,  or  timber.  To 

avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat be 

placed in front.

IMPORTANT

Carpet 

MUST NOT

  be  fitted  hard 

up  against  the  fire  as  it  will  affect 

operation.

Surrounds

Combustible surrounds require clearance from the 

unit to minimise the risk of fire. They are allowed 

providing they are outside the minimum clearances 

shown.
