Mantels, surrounds, and hearths for inbuilt installaons
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. For example; a 200 mm mantel depth will require a 500 mm clearance from the top
of the appliance.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
ooring if required. It must not obscure the front of the re.
Electrical connecon
The Neo is supplied with a power cord (length 1500 mm)
and a 3-pin plug. The standard electrical connection passes
through the rear panel, but can also pass through the left
and right hand side of the unit by removing the knockout
tab from the bottom edge of the front panel. If changing
the electrical position use the rubber grommet from the
rear of the appliance for cable protection.
Rinnai recommend the heater is plugged into a dedicated
240 V, 10 A earthed power point. The power point must not
be located above the heater (potential re hazard). If the
supplied plug and power cord is to be used with an external
power point then the power cord will need to be tted with
the supplied grommet.
A suitable means of electric isolation must be provided which is adjacent to the appliance and
accessible with the appliance installed.
The electrical cord is not re rated and should not come into contact with the unit. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a licensed tradesperson. This must be a genuine
replacement part available from Rinnai—part number 6765B.
