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 be 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 artificial logs/burn media have shifted during installation. 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 either very short or very long
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 are no
spillage of combustion gases into the room.
If the appliance cannot be made to perform correctly please contact Rinnai.
