Location The main points governing location are flueing and warm air distribution. The heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the appliance. In some cases curtains may need restraining. The Neo gas fireplace is not designed to be built into bookcases. Standard flued appliances draw the air for combustion from the room itself so there is a need for fixed ventilation. Fixed ventilation must be provided as per NZS 5261.
Location Mantels, surrounds, and hearths for inbuilt installations A mantel and surround are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown on the previous page. Minimum clearance The minimum clearance from the top of the appliance is 400 mm. The depth of the mantel/ surround at this minimum clearance must not exceed 150 mm. Additional mantel/surround depth For every 50 mm of added mantel depth/surround, there must be an additional 100 mm of clearance.
Location TV installation above a fireplace If installing a flat screen TV above the fire the main issue is heat. Heat from the fire and heat from the flueing components that sit behind the TV, especially if recessed. The Neo gas fires have a fan that distributes warm air from the top of the appliance out into the room. As warm air is dispersed outwards as opposed to directly upwards, installation of a TV may be an option.
Enclosure dimensions The enclosure dimensions specified are critical to the successful installation of this appliance. The appliance must be positioned within the enclosure on a flat level surface. If the appliance is to be elevated from the ground, a base must be constructed with supporting joists capable of supporting a minimum of 1.5 times the weight of the appliance.
Gas supply Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances in the premises. The gas meter and regulator must be specified for the total gas rate. An approved sizing chart such as the one in NZS 5261 should be used. The gas supply termination is inside the heater and enters through the rear of the appliance. Gas supply location 1 Gas supply location Mark off the location for the vertical centre line of the heater enclosure 1 .

General flueing information Every gas fireplace requires a flue system that will draw effectively and clear flue products safely under all potential wind and climatic conditions. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the appliance is provided with an effective flue. For installations requiring a flue, a Rinnai flue system must be used. The flue system must be fully assembled and secured in place before the appliance is installed.
General flueing information Shared flues Gas appliances must not be connected to a chimney or flue serving a separate fuel burning appliance. Flue cowl clearance To ensure products of combustion are cleared, adequate clearance for the building is required and the below guideline is recommended. Flue cowl should have a 500 mm clearance from any part of the building. This also applies to steeped and pitched roofs which should be clear of the ridge line as shown below.
Masonry installations 1. Check dimensions of the opening Refer 'Enclosure dimensions' and if necessary bring them to the required dimensions. Check the chimney height as inadequate height can effect product performance. Some installations may require the chimney height to be extended to reduce down drafts. 2.
Masonry installations 4. Installing the heater into the fireplace Apply the supplied foam seal strip to the rear of the heater. The strip is intended to form a seal between the heater and the fireplace. If an adequate seal cannot be formed with this strip another means of sealing must be used (non-combustible insulation) between the fireplace and the heater body. If using a flexiliner flue, prepare the heater engine by drilling four x Ø 3.2 mm holes in the prepressed dimples on the top panel of the heater.
Mock chimney installations For installations into a mock chimney a Rinnai zero clearance box and zero clearance flue kit is required to isolate the appliance from combustible materials. Failure to meet this installation criteria will void any product warranty. 1. Construct frame and install zero clearance box Refer 'Enclosure dimensions' and construct frame. Assemble and install the RIB2310 zero clearance box. Installation needs to be on a level base.
Mock chimney installations Flue cowl 50 mm Clamping spacer Sealing collar (not supplied) Twin-skin flue Outer flue 150 mm Bring the flue down within 50 mm of the unit and then use the slip collar provided in the flue kit. Inner flue 100 mm Any residual heat in the zero clearance box is ducted away via the outer flue 3.
Freestanding installations While the following diagrams depict the Neo Freestanding Console model, the steps to constructing the Neo Freestanding Plinth are the same. 1. Attach the flue spigot to the Neo engine Using a 3.3 mm drill bit, drill through the four dimples at the rear of the back panel of the Neo engine. Attach the flue spigot (ordered separately) with the screws provided. Attach flue spigot 2.
Freestanding installations 3. Attach heater to base assembly and fit back panel Lift the Neo freestanding engine into position over the base assembly and fix into position using the four M5 x 10 screws supplied. Remove the three screws from the base of the unit (do not discard) and screw the back freestanding panel into position—nine screws in total. 1 4 2 5 3 6 Three screws from unit base (screws 7,8 & 9) Four screw positions for securing the unit to the base assembly 4.
Log set installation The granule pack and log set, consisting of five log pieces, comes packaged inside the appliance, you will need to remove the glass retainer (four screws) before installing the granules and log set. Use extreme care when handling the log pieces, they are made from a fragile material and will damage easily. It is important you position the pieces in the order shown below. Incorrect placement can create carbon build up and effect performance.
Granule pack installation The granules as well as being added to create a more realistic log flame effect (by diffusing the gas flames through the burner ports) also assist in soot prevention and are CRITICAL to the performance of the heater. Never pour the granules directly from the pack as dust particles from the plastic bag may block the ports. NG installations Place the granules evenly across the burner—use the whole pack.
Test pressures To check and set the burner pressures 1. Refer to the data plate located inside the appliance on the front left hand side for the correct gas pressure settings. 2. Using a screw driver loosen the captive Appliance Test Point Pressure Screw (ATPP) and fit the manometer. 3. Remove the dust cap from the regulator adjusting nut and screw.
Test pressures High pressure setting 4. Turn the appliance on and set the heater to its highest setting (refer operation manual). Using a screw driver hold the low pressure adjusting screw stationary while adjusting the high pressure setting nut with a 10 mm spanner. Turning the nut clockwise will increase the outlet pressure while turning the nut anti-clockwise will decrease the outlet pressure. Low pressure setting 5.
Checking the flame pattern It may take approximately two hours of operation for the logs to achieve their full flame pattern and glow. During the initial burning in period, some smoke and smell may be experienced. The appliance should be run on the high setting in a well ventilated room until these dissipate. It is important to check the flame pattern during this time.
Fitting the frame assembly Before fitting the frame assembly, ensure that it is not scratched or damaged in any way. The frame assembly comes packaged in one box and contains the outer frame, glass dress guard and inner frame. NOTE When placing the assembly down ensure it is placed on its lower edge or flat. If it is placed on its left or right edge the glass may slide out off the stand-off posts.
Fitting the frame assembly 4. Lift and slot the assembly over the top and swing down, the lower screws need to be positioned over and inside the bottom flange. 5. Push the outer frame assembly into position and screw in place with the two screws removed in step 1.
