Slimfire 252 Operation & Installation Manual
HEATER ENGINE INSTALLATION - ZERO CLEARANCE
Step 3.
Fitting Zero Clearance Box Into Cavity
Slide zero clearance box assembly into the cavity, ensuring
the gas and electricity supplies are accessible.
Secure the zero clearance box into the cavity
with
appropriate fasteners (not supplied).
Install the Rinnai rigid flue system components
in
accordance with the ‘Flueing Installation Manual For Rinnai
Flamefire Heaters’ that is provided with the flue kit.
Step 4.
Unpack The Heater Engine
The heater engine is supplied in one carton, check to ensure
you have all contents as listed on “BEFORE YOU START” on
page 1 at the start of this manual before proceeding.
Remove carton by removing the straps and carefully lifting the
carton off the appliance. There are two items shipped attached
to the outside the heater engine, these are the log set and the
burner granules (the burner granules is taped to the outside of
the foam packing that contains the log set).
Carefully open the packaging material for the logset and
inspect for damage. Continue to remove the remaining engine
packaging materials and check all components for damage. If
ANY
damage is evident
DO NOT
install or operate this
appliance. Contact your supplier for advice.
Before installing the heater, check it is labelled for the correct
gas type, (refer to the gas type label on the top body panel of
the heater). Refer to the local gas authority for confirmation of
gas type if you are in doubt.
Step 5.
Preparing Heater Engine
Attach the flue guide rails
to the top of the heater engine
using the four pre-drilled holes with four screws (supplied).
Remove (do not discard) the flue access plate
three
screws and the gas/electrical access plate
five screws.
When preparing a cavity / frame for a zero
clearance installation the total cavity depth MUST
also include the thickness of the external
cladding
, as the zero clearance box MUST BE
installed flush with the cladding surface, failure to
do this will cause misalignment of the flueing.
Ensure there are no wall studs, noggins, ceiling
joists, wiring or other obstruction within the wall
and or ceiling cavity where the flue is proposed to
penetrate.
Retain the card board carton for use in the
“Connect Transition Box to Engine” on page 22.
Flue guide rails screws and pop rivets are
supplied with Zero Clearance kit, part number
R2520.
Before proceeding any further with the heater
engine installation ensure the cladding for the
front of the enclosure has been fitted
