General information

Before operation please read these instructions to get an overview of how to operate, maintain and service your Rinnai gas fire.

Electrical connection

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 fire 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 fitted 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 fire 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.

Installation by a licensed tradesperson

Ensure your installer talks to you about the use and care of this appliance, and that you understand these instructions. The installer also needs to complete the appliance commissioning sheet and installer details, and leave this guide with you.

Soot deposits

Small soot deposits on the log set or glass is normal. Significant build up however is not normal and will require a service call. Refer to the troubleshooting section for further information.

Maintenance and servicing

All external surfaces of the heater can be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvents and do not attempt to clean the heater while it is hot or operating.

TV installation above the 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.

Rinnai has a maintenance/service and spare parts network with personnel who are fully trained and equipped to give the best advice on your Rinnai appliance. If your appliance needs maintenance and or servicing, please call Rinnai

(0800 746 624) from a land line and select option one for a service centre in your area.

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. For further information please contact Rinnai or refer to the Neo Installation manual available online at www.rinnai.co.nz.

For reliable operation Rinnai gas fireplaces, including inspection of the flue system, should be serviced every two years. If they are in a particularly dusty environment or subject to excess lint, for example dog hair or where there are newly laid carpets, then annual servicing would be beneficial.

Regular maintenance and servicing is not covered by the Rinnai warranty.

It is up to the home owner to check the TV installation instructions with the TV supplier to verify clearances. Some TV manufacturers have warranty conditions that state a TV is not to be installed above a fireplace.

Rinnai does not accept any responsibility for damage to a

TV resulting from the use of this information.

Do not attempt to carry out any work on your appliance other than that mentioned in the troubleshooting section. If you have any faults or problems, contact your installer or call Rinnai.

Wireless controller

Your wireless controller is designed to be wall mounted on a bracket, supplied with the controller, within 10 m of the fire.

How it operates

The controller houses the thermostat that senses the room temperature and communicates information back to the Neo via radio frequency.

It needs to be positioned in the same room as the Neo and the area that requires heating—a place not subject to temperature fluctuation. For example; if placed near a door subject to cold drafts, the controller will sense the room is much colder than it is and the

Neo will keep heating the room, when in reality the set temperature has been reached.

Controller position

The ideal position for the controller is:

away from possible drafts in the room

away from direct sunlight

a suitable distance away from the heater, approx. 2-10 m

ideally 1.5 m from the floor

(approx. at chest height when standing)

Handy tips

The most efficient way of operating your Neo is with the wireless controller. Once the unit has been turned on at the wall for the first time, and the ON button pressed on the unit’s control panel, use the wireless controller to turn the unit on and off (not the button on the appliance).

If you turn the appliance on with the button on the control panel, make sure the wireless controller is also turned on (otherwise the appliance will turn itself off).

If you do turn the appliance off with the button on the appliance you will need to turn it on again with the button on the appliance— you won’t be able to turn it on with the remote.

If the appliance is not going and the LED, on the control panel, is permanently on, push the ON/OFF button next to the LED twice to get the appliance to re-ignite.

Controller dimensions

Height: 140 mm

Width: 80 mm

Depth: 20 mm

If the LED on the appliance is off check the flame symbol on the wireless controller; if it is pulsing, the appliance is still on and will relight when the room temperature drops.

Battery

Type: 2 x AA batteries

Life: Approx. 12 months

When the batteries are changed all settings will be lost and the controller will revert back to the initial setup screen.

Operation of your Neo

Your controller has a built-in child lock function that requires pressing two buttons simultaneously. This function cannot be overridden. To turn the controller on, press PWR and OK at the same time. Pressing PWR will switch the controller off.

Fan

On start-up, the fan will start approximately four minutes after the heater is switched on. This delay is to reduce the amount of cold air being pushed out into the room.

On shut-down, the fan will stop approximately eight minutes after the heater is switched off. This is to cool the appliance down.

you can adjust the controller to flame control mode only.

Start-up

When turning the Neo on, the heater will automatically go to the highest setting for approximately

45 seconds—this is to establish the flame pattern. You can adjust the heater during this period, but there will be a 45 second delay.

Modes of operation

Your Neo has three modes of operation:

Manual (set temperature) mode

Automatic (programmed timer and temperature) mode

Flame control mode

Over temperature automatic shut off

The controller when operating in any of the three modes will automatically shut down and switch the heater off if the room temperature exceeds 40 °C for more than three minutes—this is a safety feature.

IMPORTANT

The Neo is designed to run as efficiently as possible.

When in manual or automatic modes, the heater will switch itself off if the room reaches the set temperature, i.e. in smaller rooms that heat up quickly. When this occurs, the flame indicator on your controller will rise and fall every few seconds to indicate the heater is still operational. The heater will restart again once the room temperature falls below the set temperature.

ALWAYS check your wireless controller before going to bed or leaving the building to ensure the heater has been switched off.

If you want the Neo to operate regardless of room temperature,
