about your rinnai neo gas fireplace
General description
Your Neo is a burning log effect, gas fire with a natural draft combustion system, intended for
use with NG and ULPG. The burning log effect is achieved using one single main burner with
strategically placed imitation logs and granules. The burner, logs, and granules are contained in
a glass fronted, sealed burner box.
Temperature control is achieved by pressing the up or down marked arrows on the manual
control switch or via the wireless controller/thermostat and timer.
This heater has an electronic ignition with intermittent pilot. The pilot is only on when the
heater is in operation.
Air for combustion is drawn from the room. By-products of combustion are exhausted via the
flue discharge vent when installed in a masonry chimney, or when installed in a zero clearance
box or as a freestanding unit, through a 100 mm x 150 mm twin skinned flue to the outside of
the house.
This appliance is modular and consists of an ‘engine’ that is utilised in any of the three
configuration types as listed below.
Fireplace: Masonry installation
The appliance is directly mounted into an existing masonry fire place or a non-combustible
masonry enclosure that has a chimney.
Zero clearance (mock chimney) installation
The appliance is fitted within a zero clearance box then inserted into a wall or other suitable
structure. Materials need not be non-combustible.
Freestanding installation: Plinth or console
The appliance is housed in a decorative fabricated sheet metal box that is intended to be
freestanding and not inbuilt.
