BURNER MEDIA
The burner media
MUST BE
positioned correctly by the installer. It is not intended that these are re-positioned by
the user. Incorrect positioning can affect heat output and ignition.
ONLY
burner media supplied by the manufacturer may be used in this appliance.
Due to the nature of luminous flames used in this appliance, a slight build up of carbon (soot) may be seen. This
is quite normal and will not affect the performance of the appliance.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, your appliance cannot be operated.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of your appliance is important to keep it looking its best. Some points on cleaning:
•
All of the exterior painted panels can be cleaned using household cleaners.
•
The black interior panels and the burner media may develop a slight build up of soot, this is quite normal and
might burn off over time. Do not try to remove the soot by rubbing with a cloth as this will only spread the soot
around.
•
Do not vacuum the burner media, especially the Log & coal bed, any reduction or modification of the burner
media installed can effect the performance and or damage the appliance
•
The stainless steel reflectors and front panel (if fitted) can be cleaned using a household stainless steel cleaner.
WHEN TO CALL FOR SERVICE
There are a few things to look out for that could indicate that your appliance requires a service call.
•
If long streaky flames are touching the top of the firebox, this can cause the paint to blister and possibly damage
the appliance.
•
If you can smell gas, regardless of whether the appliance is going or not.
NOTE
There can be a brief smell of gas as the appliance is going through the ignition sequence, however
this should soon stop once the appliance has started.
Abnormal Flame Pattern
•
If the pilot flame looks abnormal. Signs of abnormal pilot operation could be:
A very short flame that does not reach across to the flame rod.
A very long flame that reaches far beyond the flame rod or long yellow flames.
A roaring noise when the pilot is operating or the flame “lifting off” from the
pilot head.
•
If there are large soot deposits that keep building up on the burner media.
•
If there is excessive noise or explosive ignition as the burner lights, this could
be due to blocked burner ports.
•
If a smell of flue gas continues after the appliance has been operating for at
least 10 minutes. This could indicate a blocked flue or other problem. This
smell is acceptable during the first few minutes as the flue heats up and starts
to draw.
•
If the flames change shape or colour. When the appliance first starts the
flames will tend to be quite blue for a few minutes but will change to a more
yellow/orange colour as the system heats up, this is normal, but if the flames
either stay very blue, or turn a dark , streaky orange colour, this could indicate
a problem. Contact Rinnai for advice.
