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. Refer next page for clearance details. The heater must be positioned on a flat level surface. For installations further up the wall, the heater needs to be supported, either construct a base using board or support with joists. 850 mm min.
Clearances The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come into contact with the heater. In some cases curtains may need restraining. The clearances listed below are minimum clearances unless otherwise stated. There are further details on mantel and surround clearances on the next page.
Mantels, surrounds, and hearths B - Mantel depth Min Vertical Clearance 400mm AMinimum - Mantel height from top of fireplace D - Surround projection C - Surround from side of fireplace A mantel and surround are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown below. A Mantel height from top of fireplace 400 mm minimum B Mantel depth at 400 mm (vertical clearance) 300 mm maximum For every 50 mm of added mantel depth, there must be an additional 100 mm of vertical clearance.
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 Symmetry RDV3610 has 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.

Bracket installation Install the four metal mounting brackets supplied onto the Symmetry RDV3610. The position of the brackets will depend on the cladding thickness and type of installation (framed or frameless). The Symmetry RDV3610 can be installed with the Rinnai granite and metal frames, and also as a frameless installation. The frameless installation can have brick, rock veneer, or tiles, these sit tight up against the framing plate of the fireplace.
Fixing the unit to the frame The Symmetry RDV3610 comes pre-assembled with the burner already in position. For all installations the unit MUST BE positioned on a level surface. 1. Position the unit inside the cavity. 2. Bend and secure the two metal stand-offs supplied with the unit into position. These provide the required 150 mm minimum vertical clearance to the upper lintel. 3. Fix unit to frame with the four mounting brackets.

Flue installation - general guidelines 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. Some guidelines to assist with flue design are listed below.
Flue installation - general guidelines Flue terminal locations Must be compliant with ‘Clearances Required for Flue Terminals’ from NZS 5261 2003. Flue is not to terminate under floors or in a roof space. Minimum and maximum horizontal flue length Each flueing configuration is subject to flueing restrictions, refer to following pages for further detail.
Flue installation - vertical termination For vertical flue terminations with or without 45 ° bends (maximum of two). The shaded sections determine the position of the flue restrictor. Max. 5.4 m Restrictor position # 2 4.2 m Restrictor position # 3 3.0 m Restrictor position # 4 1.8 m No restrictor Min. 0.6 m If bend is less than 45 O, the installation is deemed a vertical termination with 90 O bends (refer next page) Max. 1.
Flue installation - vertical termination For vertical flue terminations with two 90 ° bends (maximum of two). The shaded sections determine the position of the flue restrictor. Horizontal runs of flue pipe must be supported to prevent any downward sags. Horizontal pipe sections should be supported at least every 1.2 m. Wall straps can be used for this purpose. The horizontal run of flue pipe must have a 20 mm rise for every 1 m of run towards the termination. Never allow the flue pipe to run downward.
Flue installation - horizontal termination For horizontal flue terminations with a 90 ° bend. The shaded sections determine the position of the flue restrictor. Horizontal runs of flue pipe must be supported to prevent any downward sags. Horizontal pipe sections should be supported at least every 1.2 m. Wall straps can be used for this purpose. The horizontal run of flue pipe must have a 20 mm rise for every 1 m of run towards the termination. Never allow the flue pipe to run downward.
Gas connection The gas connection from the control valve is a ½ " BSP male flare fitting. This connects straight into the gas control on the lower left hand side of the appliance. Gas pipe sizing must consider the gas input to this appliance as well as all other gas appliances in the premises. 60 CL 440 190 Flared Union Connection Access To access the gas connection remove the upper and lower bracket (also called the service access panels).
Flue restrictor installation The flue restrictor is required to be fitted in installations where the flue length exceeds 2.3 m. It works by limiting the amount of air required for combustion. The higher the flue the more the air is circulated, this can affect the performance of the fire. Different flue configurations require a different positioning of the flue restrictor, please refer to the Flue installation pages to determine what setting is required.
Log set installation The log set (burn media) is packaged separately and consists of five log pieces and three moulded rocks. Handle the log set with care to avoid chipping. It is important you position the pieces in order as shown below as incorrect placement can create carbon build up and affect performance. For video instruction on Rinnai Symmetry log positioning, refer to the following YouTube video: http://www.youtube.
Log set installation Fit Front Middle Left Log into back flat section of the burner and slot on top of Front Base Left Log. Place Front Middle Right Log into the U-shaped groove. Place the Top Log onto the recessed sections of the Left and Right Middle Logs. Ensure the middle elbow section rests on the top of the Bottom Log. Position two of the rocks over the screw holes on the burner bed and place the remaining kidney shaped rock on top as shown.
Test pressures 1. Turn on the gas and power supply to the unit. 2. Refer to the data plate for applicable test point pressures. 3. The test point is on the gas control valve. Using a suitable screw driver loosen the captivated test point screw and attach a manometer. 4. Using the manual control switch (on the appliance), turn the unit on and switch to the HIGH setting and adjust the pressure as necessary. 5. Disconnect the solenoid (yellow wire).
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.
Cladding Non-combustible cladding must be installed directly above the fire as shown on page 6. When installing cladding ensure it is installed up to the flange and not over it, any overhang will affect the performance of the appliance and cause an unsafe situation. Cladding should be installed hard up against the flange and not over it.
Fitting the frames and dress guard WARNING Before fitting the frames and/or dress guard ensure the glass front is secured in place. It is critical when fitting the glass front that you double check that it is not scratched or damaged in any way and that you have checked the gasket. Outer Frame Inner Frame Dress Guard Inner frame Hook over the glass and secure in place on the two large lower magnets on the front assembly. Outer frame Screw into position with the fours screws provided.
Commissioning Complete the installation and commissioning checklist in the customer operation manual and make sure you leave the manual with the customer. Explain to the customer about the use and care of the unit and they understand the instructions and operation of the appliance. If operating without a dress guard advise the customer of the safety instructions to prevent the risk of injury.
