Step 4.
Zero Clearance Frame Installation
A MDF, (Custom wood) board or equivalent of 20 mm thick,
MUST BE USED
in the base of the framework to support
the heater engine.
The frame serves three purposes:
•
Maintains the required clearances to combustibles
around the fire
•
Keeps the enclosure square and provides rigidity
above the fireplace.
•
Allows for a thin profile frame and for the engine to
slip easily in and out of the enclosure
Carefully remove the contents from the carton and check
to ensure you have all contents as listed in the instruction
sheet supplied with the frame are present. If
ANY
damage
is evident or parts are missing
DO NOT
assemble the
zero clearance frame and contact your supplier for advice.
Assemble all four sides of the zero clearance frame
(H)
together in accordance with the instructions provided with
the frame, noting that the frame can be assembled for the
RVD600ER or RVD700ER using the same components.
Then secure the zero clearance frame
(H)
using the holes
provided to the inside of the frame opening on the top
(I)
and on both sides
(J)
tabs using appropriate fixings (not
provided).
Once the zero clearance frame
(H)
is secured in position
remove the bottom frame component of the zero clearance
frame
(K)
assembly as this part is only used to keep the
frame square during installation and is no longer required.
Step 5. Install Cladding
NOTE
The *sheet wall cladding,
(L)
, around the heater
cavity
MUST
be installed in one complete
section and attached to the frame as per the
cladding manufacturer’s specifications and
requirements. This will avoid creating joints
in the vicinity of the corners which may
crack with normal operational expansion and
contraction. Rinnai takes no responsibility in
the event of such occurrences.
*Stone or ceramic tile type cladding reacts
differently than plaster or board type claddings.
Rinnai requires the installer to check with
the product manufacturer for the suitability
of their product for this application. Rinnai
accepts no responsibility for the type of
cladding chosen.
The cladding
(L)
may now be installed, ensuring that the
cavity opening is cut flush to the inside edges of the zero
clearance frame
(H)
.
HINT
To assist with flue and electrical connections,
if possible leave any side cladding of the
false fire place open until the heater engine
installation is finalised.
