Location considerations
The following general guidelines should be factored when deciding on where to position
a Rinnai heating solution.
Clearances
All Rinnai appliances are subject
to clearances. Examples for the
Energysaver 559FT and Portable
Convectors are shown on this
page. For additional clearance
details, refer to the specific
product pages in this guide.
Fixed ventilation
Rinnai Portable Convectors
and Indoor Super Ray heaters
(unflued appliances) draw
the air for combustion from
the room, so there is a need
for adequate ventilation. This
ventilation must be provided as
per the Gas Regulationsthe
gasfitter installing the heater is
responsible for this.
Suitability
It is important to review the
suitability statements for each
heating solution, for example;
Indoor Super Rays are only
suitable for commercial and
industrial use and Portable
Convectors are subject to
minimum room sizes. Portable
Convectors also cannot
be installed in a bedroom,
bathroom, toilet, sauna, spa
room, or hallway. For further
information, refer to each of the
product specification pages in
this guide.
Electrical connection
All Rinnai heating
solutions require
electricity to
operate (except
the Indoor Super Ray manual
models). Consideration must
be made as to where the power
point can be positioned.
A 3-pin plug with a 1500 mm
power cord is supplied with all
Rinnai appliances. This must be
plugged into a dedicated
230 V 10 A earthed power
point. Power boards and double
adaptors must not be used.
Flooring
Heat emanating from the front
of Rinnai Energysavers and
Portable Convectors may over
time affect the appearance of
some materials used for flooring
such as carpet, vinyl, cork or
timber. This effect may be
amplified if the air in the room
contains cooking vapours or
cigarette smoke. To avoid this
occurring a mat or rug may
need to be positioned in front
of the applianceextending
about one metre in front of it.
Super Ray positioning
Super Ray heaters direct their
heat via infra-red rays, which
discharge the heat energy upon
striking a surface. They do not
pass through solid materials.
From a heating and safety point
of view obstructions to the path
of the rays must be taken into
consideration.
